Sky will prolly end up bringing this back you know.
They are a few kilometres from the bottom of Peyresourde, and the Sky group is still 2 minutes behind. They won't make it.
Even if they do, Porte will be dropped again
I dunno. Could just be the rest of the team stuck to the Watt limit. |

Don't worry about the sprinters. ASO have the power to disregard the time limit in cases of 'Exceptional circumstances'. That rule is made precisely for stages like this.
Its gonna be harder for them to do that now after the Ted King thing.
Ted King was not exceptional circumstances. He was just a guy who couldn't keep up with his team on a TTT. And he was just one guy. If there are a group of 50 or more guys outside the time limit because the front group shattered the fastest estimated time schedule, it's exceptional circumstances. |

Lasada and Trofimov apparently are there for Katusha for Rodriguez, but that could change. |

Bardet is best placed rider at the front

Spawned this year? What? He's been dominating U23's 2 years ago and had very good last year got AG2R..

Saxo with five or six people. Kreuziger did very good decision to go to this team, it is already paying off this year.

Porte dropping again.
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

I think this climb will be deciding when it comes to wether or not Sky can patch things up. If they keep losing time they are gone for good.
God, I hope Froome is dropped well before the 30km downhill.

Seems I have overestimated your cycling knowledge. Sorry, won't repeat that same mistake again.
Loving all the Sky riders struggling, especially Porte, good to see they are human after all. Froome doing well though so far.

It doesn't matter how bad they are today. Yesterday they were still inhuman. |
