mikewsmith · 2015-07-12T04:59:05Z

So the stage all the riders have been looking forward to, a 28Km examination of the bloke in fronts arse. [imgBut wait there are some hills and one at the end thats going to make things interesting. [img And to sum all that off I think he's saying all bets are off with the exception of Orica just trying to stay together till the finish and probably deserving of a nice day by the pool for the rest day tomorrow. What it all means? [b]1. GBRFROOME Christopher 31 TEAM SKY 31h 01' 56'' 2. SVKSAGAN Peter 47 TINKOFF-SAXO 31h 02' 07'' + 00' 11'' 3.

As for yesterday the breaks came and went but it was all back to one group for the finish and nobody seemed to know when to go with the top 10 seeming happy to mark each other and not risk blowing up, a surprise Sagan didn't go and a Frenchman taking the win - always a popular result. The only real surprise was Nibbles loosing more time, unless he has a very cunning plan for the mountains I don't think he's going to make it 2/2. [imgThe fans from Eritrea [img[img[img

Nobody takes 24s/km out of the top guys in an attack.

Aracer now maths isnt my strong point but what happened today on stage 10? 😉

😆

I'm not expecting [Froome] to go off on the sort of futile attack Quintana did - because there's no reason for him to do so. Sure he might attack when he's sure he's strongest and can ride at a pace to the finish, but that's something rather different.
