at least Kittel is human. Always giving 100% and looking empty after finish.
Perfect timing so far and Sabatini is important link as Renshaw for Cav. |

Over 300 points for Kittel. Could have been a great fight for green with Sagan in it.

Its as stupid as Astana on sunday. Kittel could have beat them by going backwards
Everyone is fighting for 2nd place. As if they know Froome will win yellow, and second is best they can get. That is why I hate TdF for last few years. NO competition. |

I think even Sagan would have struggled. |

I know but on the frontal view it really looked like he was celebrating after a close sprint.

EBH the closest to Kittel lol says a lot
Kittel without a doubt worst rider to win more than 5 tdF stages
hope you are kidding...if you're able to constantly win in such messy sprints, then you have to be rather fast...that's far more impressive than the Cipollini/Cav style of wins (don't say that he is faster, but the style of wins is more impressive)
and I also think that Kittel might be the fastest sprinter of all time in this form, but that's more of a philosophic question I guess

Tomorrow Col de la Peyresourde. Love that climb. last year in france I did it in a ride in between my Col d'Aspin double. Climbing the second time Aspin, I was so close to falling off my bike but at least I enjoyed Peyresourde beforehand 
here the ride https://www.strav...8/overview

totally agree with first part.
fastest is really ..we never know stuff. Cipo was amazing..Cav was/is stunning fast..Ale Jet at top form straight finish line was unstoppable and fast with he's long sprints. |

Cool ride. Also, you could have climbed Col d'Azet instead of Aspin.
The first time:

LOL Contador. What to say? Well it is bad luck when your team mate fell in front of you and you are right behind him what can you do?
I really wonder whats the problem with contador? He fell 4 times during this tour while that crashes were caused by the others (Majka, Quintana, Gogl). That must be pretty shit. If I were him my morale would be really low.

Are you sure about that? CyclingNews says that he is ok, while Cataldo abandoned but turned out to have no problems more than a sprained wrist either.

Thats a pity  Only Froome has so much luck? Almost Every proper GC rider is crashing in this tour. I am really missing Richie Porte
