I just don't get it. Why is that Sky train to effecient? No offence, but Zandio at the front and some extremely strong climbers lose touch, I don't get it. Yet the entire Sky train has no trouble following... Someone explain this to me, please 
As commentators say climbers like going at fast pace then slow, again accelerate. But Sky sets high tempo which we generally see on flat, which climbers are not used to. |

so climbers can't climb a mountain at a fast pace? So odd I wonder if they can set up a train at high speed with percentages above 15% |

Wet narrow descent, and Agnoli sprints to the front... bye bye Wiggins?
Edit: only a little bit wet in select places though to Wiggins happiness.

4 sky men and 3 astana with 45kms to go. Just 20 riders left in lead peleton of favorites, Something that we never saw in Tdf last year. Less riders mean more chance of leader having to do his own work. |
