Bardet is really a daredevil, mad downhill skills, very nice

Bardet is crazy good at descending bearing in mind his ultra slim body build. |

Bardet best descended in peloton at the moment? Or at least the best descender from climbers obviously guys like Sagan are super super.
He just looks so at ease with it and doesn't do that silly sit on stem nut cruncher move.

Splits on the first climb always likely to be meaningless given the descent and flat afterwards. Croix de Fer is where the other teams really need to pressure Sky - harder to come back after that.

I think Nibali still has him covered.

Will be fun for Uran Uran to pull Bardet in the flat part..

Rolland, Purito, Uran Uran & Bardet. Small group, high quality.

Hats off to gautier. Riding very well, but sacrificing himself everytime for the past years for Rolland. Not just usual domestique sacrifice, by heart he gives Rolland everything |

This is even for Rolland's standards a new level of energy wasting attackâ„¢

I would say descending skills aren't what they used to be, seems like everyone knows what to do now. The older generation will remember guys like Savoldelli, who could gain minutes on a good down hill.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.
