Yeah, I remembered too late.  And it's already posted there.

Well, both couldn't hold the pace and must have been quite exhausted at that point. When you get a push while already obviously struggling, then it's easy to lose balance sometimes.

Both P-N and T-A have uphill finish today, that's very good for racing. Looking forward to it, even though, I thinkwe can expect some attack on Col de Bourigaille.

Col de Bourigaille makes them quite suffer, at least Tommy has dropped relatively early. Chavanel seems to be the only one who makes it over the top ahead of the peloton.
EDIT: Okay, he is the only one to have made it over the summit. Peloton merely seconds behind him.

I expect to see some gaps among the favorites today. This is looking quite promising. |

Wait, is the Col de Bourigaille being ridden now? Then where did Chavanel earlier take his KoM points?

Wasn't that the finish line? Not sure if he got points there. The finish is the first kilometer or so of the same mountain I believe, and will award points the second time.

According to the CN ticker, he collected those points 25 kms from the finish line. The Mont Meaulx should be about 40 kms from the finish.
Looking forward to the finish if that's the final climb. Steep bugger.

Also he won on Côte de Bonnieux. And you're right it was 40kms from finish.

I suspect CN to have made a mistake somewhere. Must have been Fayence, like marble said it's the finish. Looks like a perfect finale for Betancur and Nibali.
Devenyns riding really a nice P-N.

Sporza (Belgium) logic: The cyclists who are still here in the peloton are the cyclists who survived the hills earlier this stage.

I think they ment that the riders who are in this pack likley survived the hills of earlier stages. |
