And guess who has been slaughtered in this forum for virtue of that? Froome.

Why does everyone hate Zakarin. Everyone has chance to redeem him/herself. He got his punishment, Now he is back legitimately.
You were doing so well until that last word
He was guilty at one point, Got caught. Served punishment.
NOW
He is Innocent till proven guilty. That is democracy. Sorry if you don't understand.
I completely understand that I never said he shouldn't be allowed to race but this is pro sports we are talking about so me being suspect on riders is perfectly understandable and i'm allowed to voice those opinions.
This is a democracy as you say

Really loved todays final climb.
Didn`t look that tough at first but after all thsoe up an down racing today it was a great steady last climb.
agree. Really like the climb. Could make a really good mountain stage finishing there but unfortunately not enough place to host a TdF finish.

Yes, but the fact that Zakarin has been caught for doping makes me lose faith in him.

Good day of racing! I actually enjoyed that last climb quite a bit, I feared that it would come down to the last K. I still dont really know what to make of Contador.. Thomas is 2 out of 2 against him so far if Contador doesn't go crazy tomorrow.
Had expected more from Bardet, but glad to see Izaguirre finally doing well in P-N. Hopefully those type of riders will try to advance tomorrow.. |

I couldn't figure out why Contador was doing a Froome and looking at his stem the whole time.
Then I saw this
Most of the climb was 3-4% and the last half mile was 2%. Good luck winning that on the small ring |

Terrible luck..big ring was really needed today.
Zakarin reminds me a Andy..on race..after race. Well he doest not seemed to be intern. person..speaking russia at eurosport interview. Come on man..at least french or spanish..he is spending most of the year outside of russia anyway. |

Yeah it wasn't the most challenging climb but perfect for a race at this time year and was was raced really well. enjoyed that stage as a spectacle.

Hmm, Contador struggling with equipment... I guess there is some sort of Karma from a that good old chain gate from a while ago. I don't really understand how that can happen though is it really that hard to get a properly functioning bike for a WT rider? Is Tinkoff already pulling his money back or something?
There does seem to be a lot of excuses coming from the Tinkoff stars at the moment - Sagan and Conta just seem to not be able to get in the winners circle as often as they are used to.
Zakarin is staying on that upward trajectory, not sure he will be a GC threat at the Giro yet.
Was certainly a good day for the Brits - what I find quite nice is that so many are flourishing in non sky colours.

Zakarin
Not that good by Contador I think.Though he says he couldn't switch to the big ring.
Tomorrow's stage can be great if Contador attacks hard.

The only time Contador tested positive, it was because of a tainted steak
