    fair play to Pinot, really putting the pressure on Bardet today.

    Pretty bad form of Peraud to ride away from Bardet I think, he's going to lose a tonne of time. Good on Pinot though, onto the podium as it stands.

    AG2R seem to be going for the team classification so would want to keep as many people as far up the road as possible

    Given Perauds overall spot it's hard to blame him for hanging on, just as it seemed AG2R were a team with a plan!

    Ha, Serpa being a bollix :D


    First the "Colombian Mountain Goats" and now Sherpas taking over cycling.

    Surely their high altitude upbringing in the Himalayas puts them at an unfair advantage.

    Awesome turn of pace at the 4KM to go by Rodgers. Stunning victory, how did he keep all that energy stored up after the climb I don't know!

    Today has split the field somewhat. Great stage.

    Movistar should have brought Quintana to the Tour IMO

    And Pinoit was very good today....love him as a rider ....He can attack and he is not even built like a pure climber...He has class and now he even has confidence ....Saying he will attack Valverde & nibali tomorrow ....way to go
    Love to see him put time into Valverde

    Konig had a great ride today ......pity he lost so much time in first 10 days


    Surprised Agr2 didn't wait and pace Bardet........better to fight for podium IMO

    Is Peraud not a better TTer then Bardet?

    From what I remember Pinot isn't a great TTer either.

    Peraud will be pushing for a Podium spot himself.

    Yeah, Pinot looking strong! Nibali looked in trouble trying to follow him, though they were close to the top of the climb at that stage. Could be a good bet for a stage win in the next couple of days.


    Whatever the case, we're looking at huge time gaps between the overall GC contenders when they reach Paris.

    Peraud had a lot to make up to get Podium .....while Badet also not bad at TT

    But Ag2R always keep all their options open as per usual....never commit behind one rider...could have helped Bardet & still have 2 in top 5 and still fight for white jersey ...Its just my view on how to play it

    How is it strange? He seem a likeable guy and just won an epic of a stage. He won on the zoncolan and Roche rides for his team. Seems pretty logical to be happy for him.

    Hats off to Kiryenka(sp?) today, master of riding at his own pace.

    ???

    Literally the first positive thing I have said about Rodgers all tour.

    The last comment I made about him was him and Kwia screwing Sagan over a few stages ago by not helping close the Gap on Gallopin.

    But seeing as you ask so nicely, I like Rodgers because he's an Aussie. I like him because he's riding for TCS a team that I like despite Oleg being a odd character. I like Rodgers because of his style of going out to win stages, and riding hard. Its a ****ty job being a domestique, and he does it without question, and this year when he gets the chance of seizing a stage victory he usually goes for it (another reason why I was disappointed he didn't ride with Sagan and try to catch Gallopin).

    Let me guess you are going to let me know about the failed test and why this makes him a bad person?

    They were just out for a nice afternoon's drive, then next thing there were all these bloody cyclists all over the road.
