    So Dowestt should be pretty tired for tomorrow's stage... As should Kwiatkowski & OPQS .... Bardiani, Sky, and BMC did some chasing as well ....
    Nico & and his team mates didn't do any chasing ....
    Could be a good chance for him.

    yeah true and Im sure that was a tactical decision by Saxo.

    That said Id find it hard to see Nico overhaul that kind of time difference to Dowsett and some given how god Dowsett is in an ITT aswell.

    Riding for second place now tbh.

    Disappointed that Tinkoff Saxo didn't do any chasing ...not sure tactical (excpect keeping Nico form chasing) ...think the others were either not able (Boaro was prob knackered as in earlier break) but got the impression that others not that a**ed

    Saw BMC & Garmin chase ...and Cav chase on hills ?? OPQS tried so hard...Kwiatkowski trying his best

    Unless there is all out attacking tomorrow from the get go .....Dowsett has it

    Maybe Pro Tour riders are so used of riding in 9 man teams where everything is controlled they can't think or do differently

    Roche hasn't a brain in his head anyways, if you gave him a Ducati motorbike he still would find a way to lose.

    Bit harsh .....He is quite a bright fella

    His issue is he doesn't always engage his brain in his urgency to win..... and remember he is under pressure to be a winner all his career

    Pro Tour is very hard with so many specialists these days it hard to get a win if you are a very good all rounder

    He'd be disqualified.
