So PCM is not even too bad actually.
How many wins we have seen this year, where the breakaway should have been caught and then on last 15km they were gaining time again? A lot more than in recent years I think.
Yeah, looks like not a single team is interested in winning stages except those going in the breakaway  |

I stay with it.
If it was Küng, Tony Martin, Cancellara or another rider, we wouldn`t roll eyes now.
It`s a pretty usual breakaway win tbh.
Edit: That said, in general I don`t believe in him a lot neither. Well,he did a big gap to the rest of the BOTD which consists of strong riders. |

Only Hesjedal worked there though. Already before the breakaway did not work very well together. After Zakarin`s attack they totally stopped to work together. |

Happens all the time. The riders in the break don't want to work together so the rider in front just rides away.

Reason Aru didn't follow Contador is that he was on a much too low gear. Wouldn't see anything else in it.

Except the riders you mentioned didnt come out of nowhere and they got incredible aero positions and engines which helps.
FroomeLite.exe has the same aero position on the bike as a bag of stones thrown down off a cliff. |

I think you have to replase your avatar to : i hate zakarin so much, most dope rider in history, burn in hell m...r fuc...r. Meantime, i'm very happy, and wish good luck to all riders, especially to Porte.
Sorry if bad english

The 'FroomeLite.exe' bringing home the PCM$ for me by ensuring Other Rider takes the victory in Fantasy Betting. Mixed feelings but turns out my choice was spot on.

He and Gilbert attacked just before the end and managed to just hold off the rest of the pack although it was a pretty futile attack, so it was in fact Lobato who won the group sprint.
