Phil and Paul always find the biggest di@k to suck. How can you do this for twenty something years and get worse? They say stupid stuff that makes my head hurt everyday. The camera work of the countryside alone makes it worth watching this race.

They used to be fantastic until Sky became incredible. That was a hell of a finish. That last 200 m was straight up

I think the addition of Jens was a good add last year. I just wished Sherwood and Vande Velde's rolls would switch. I also think that Liam McHugh needs to be back.

Sky should refuse to ride on the front and use Landa to ambush Aru.

A short stage with big climbs is perfect for it, and Astana are weak with Cataldo gone and Fugslang riding with fractured bones.

I think Cummings could have taken this stage if he didn't try yesterday, however with such a long downhill stretch Bardet should try and break them on the descent again

I just tuned in, and the attacking has been fast and furious. This has to hurt like hell. We never get to see this portion of longer stages when the attacks/counter-attacks go. I've lost count of the number of attacks I've seen so far in the less than 10K that I've watched!

Stage is wild and there might be carnage before it's over.

Landa, Barguil, and Contador trying to bridge to De Marchi! This could get good!


Contador is chasing the stage win, Landa is riding for GC?? and Barguil is going for KOM points.

Landa fricking over Froome would make me very happy. He's clearly stronger. Dude was fricking nose breathing 450 watts on the last climb yesterday. He looked bored.

Short stages are the best

I'm not sure he is. Having Landa up the road relieves pressure from Sky in the peleton (whatever is left of the peleton at this point!)

I really don't care about Fuglsang (going into the Tour, I thought he would be a potential contender and/or a huge help to Astana/Aru since he won Dauphine). At this point though, I wish they'd stop showing him. Let the man suffer.

Landa is being the good team mate right now up ahead. But when does he say frick it and start helping Contador?

At what point do Aru/Bardet/Uran start to chase? Landa is a threat to GC now. 2:16 to Contador/Landa!


ETA: Both Spanish. Think Contador can talk him into riding for GC?

Landa should go for it. He's strong enough to win the Tour. Pull a Floyd today

Sky is sitting pretty today. Landa about to have Kwiatkowski join him in the break. Aru is like
