There's too many up there getting team orders to hold up because they've decided there's a proper sprint in this.

Saying that, they've not made much progress recently. Maybe they are letting them go.

He hosed that right up. Those OBE guys just let him gently caress himself and then took control.

Yeah that was nicely worked from Orica.

I like it when they win because it means the Backstage Pass video is fun.

If there's more than one way to do a job, and one of those ways will result in disaster, then he will do it that way.

That was a hell of a big effort to gain 12 seconds the day before Ventoux but it was definitely entertaining.

Sagan & Froome 1-2 on a sprint stage, like some post-Tour crit.

A cool six second time bonus plus five or so from the gap.

I don't know what Movistar's big plan it, but it probably does not involve winning the Tour to be honest.

Wouldn't surprise me if they were protecting Valverde as well as Quintana and that tactic cost them. As usual.

I didn't watch - dammit - but how in the gently caress does the peloton let that happen with no other team pulling them back?
