We want to see the video!! xD
No, I said I would eat my shoe if Froome would cross the gap and solo away for a stage win...

Mollema said after the race they were planning echelons anyway. And they heard Valverde was dropped when they were already riding. He also said Valverde shouldn't complain because he did exactly the same in the past. Obviously referring to Suisse 2011 when Movistar rode when Mollema flatted.

Froome hesitated and checked his radio it seems, and then it was too late.
Well everybody in the race knows you have to follow if your biggest opponent is trying to form an echelon, not check your radio, unless Froome is a robot ofcourse
Spoiler Probably the only time he will be dropped all tour so I want to enjoy it

I'm wondering: tomorrow, Valverde and Costa to help Quintana gain time by breaking the pack to pieces? |

I don't think he was referring to that. Pretty sure Valverde was suspended in 2011.

Marginal gains don't include the skill of riding on echelons.  |

Yeah and everybody complaining at Belkin forgot that OPQS was working equally hard without a dangerous break in front. But they were justified cuz they have Cavendish in their team.  "
I'm curious about what Movistar thinks and if they're planning revenge. |

Why are people still surprised with Andy? He looks like he's in good form and probably will win a stage in the Alps

What a great stage. Outstanding racing of Belkin and Omega Pharma Quickstep. And great to see Saxobank doing something. Waiting for the moment Froome was a bit to the end of group. Really Really nice.
And what ashame for Valverde and Froome. Valverde by a weird wheelchanging and Froome, well, just lawl.

Andy will win Le Tour this year in a breakaway on Alpe d' Huez where he wins 20 minutes on all the GC riders! |

Wrong.
Quintana might be good but he is not that good.
Also with a Contador in a form like before, noone not even froom can follow him.
The question is however is how much did Contador loose today and how will he do in the mountains, i dont think he is good enough but we will see. |

If you see what he has done this year (basically nothing) I'm surprised he held on. Yes maybe he might win a stage but he will never win TdF again.
Even Contador cant match Froome. Its guys like Froome, Porte, Quintana, Nibali from now on. |

OPQS were ONLY interested in dropping Kittel. Allowing Valverde back would be also allowing Kittel back which wouldve wasted all their effort. |

OPQS had dropped Kittel. <-----------> Valverde dropped because of a flat tire

Contador is not as good as he was before, due to the natural ageing process.

He will never get back to old form. Your burst young, you decline young. |
