[Addnan]

Well fuck. There we go. something happens.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Oh this is absolute trash and garbage. Come the fuck on

 

[yagal]

Hey guys don't go too fast, wait for Froome.

They are stupids

 

[neoanarch]

Wtf was that

 

[Joni]

See, now it is just a screw up of them, now they should have raced.

 

[Hanmik]

They don't dare challenge him.. So stupid.

 

[True Savior]

lovely procession 👌🏼

 

[NewDust]

They are just waiting now to fuck with Aru

 

[jakonovski]

Wait what did I miss? Did Froome fuck up and they're still not taking advantage?

 

[His Majesty]

Maybe wait for Fuglsang as well he is only 6 minutes behind.

Wait what did I miss? Did Froome fuck up and they're still not taking advantage?

Kwiatkowski took a wrong turn and Froome followed him off road together with Aru. Naturally no one wanted to take advantage.

 

[teepo]

would be stupid to attack now during this part of the stage when no one other than froome has support

 

[Joni]

Wait what did I miss? Did Froome fuck up and they're still not taking advantage?

Kwiatkowski missed a corner going through some campers, Froome and Aru decided to be nice and follow him.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Wait what did I miss? Did Froome fuck up and they're still not taking advantage?

Froome and Aru overshot a turn and had to get off the bikes. The yellow group waited for them to catch up.

 

[True Savior]

Bye bye Quintana.

 

[jakonovski]

What is this shit show.

 

[Addnan]

Who was supposed to attack Froome and Aru lol. Nobody has legs and we are only stage 12.

 

[His Majesty]

Anyway I'd like to mention that I have a lot of respect for Froome but the Tour simply hasn't been enjoyable for a while due to Sky's tactics and the inability of other teams to catch up with them.

 

[True Savior]

Who was supposed to attack Froome and Aru lol. Nobody has legs and we are only stage 12.

Easier to scream "attack" while in a chair than to be rational 😅

People seem to forget this dudes have, just today, 160+km in the legs. They are barely surviving.

 

[jakonovski]

How is it possible that only team Sky is able to race bikes? This is incredible clownshoes.

 

[yagal]

Kwiatkowski took a wrong turn and Froome followed him off road together with Aru. Naturally no one wanted to take advantage.

Or no one have the legs to take advantage , Froome will kill the tour today

 

[bobnowhere]

Kwia doesn't have much more.

Edit: and he's gone.

 

[His Majesty]

Or no one have the legs to take advantage , Froome will kill the tour today

Well they're just lambs being led to the slaughter then. Sky slowed down to wait for Froome and everyone seemed fine with it.

 

[Addnan]

Really wished Cummings would have managed Slow down please Sky

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Should have raced, pathetic.

 

[jakonovski]

Gonna say that Tour de France is dead as a spectator sports event. Indurain to Armstrong to Froome. At least EPO dopers had interesting shenanigans.

 

[chicken_pasta]

Someone please tell Nairo he can also race when his teammates are not present. Having a known wheel in front of him is not the only thing that matters, boy.

 

[teepo]

did you just start watching in july?

Their support riders are good enough to be captains on most other teams and they get to rest on the non-climbing stages

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

He raced the Giro and got second. His legs are likely cooked.

The entire group slowed down for them. No one was expecting a blistering attack up the mountain, but when the whole pack slows down it really kills it. Froome and Aru messed up, no one should have slowed for them.

 

[jakonovski]

It was a rhetorical question.

 

[kottila]

It was a rhetorical question.

will gbe a long time before anyone goes for the giro-tour double after quintanas performance this year

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

I think this last climb will be explosive.

 

[chicken_pasta]

Will this go this go on until Paris? Congratulations Froome.

He raced the Giro and got second. His legs are likely cooked.

I know, but his Colombian fanbase is pinning his poor Tour performance on the fact he didn't train in Europe pre-Tour lol

The most deluded fanbase in this sport.

 

[jakonovski]

Maybe we'll get a Gewiss style triple win for Sky.

edit: just a double sadly.

edit2: heyyy a pessimist is never disappointed!

 

[Addnan]

Landa is a monster. Wish he had a real chance in the Giro.

 

[bobnowhere]

Froome is human after all, sort of.

Martin was going sideways at one point on that climb.

 

[teepo]

lolol

goodbye yellow

 

[Addnan]

Is Froome out of yellow?

 

[His Majesty]

Aru new yellow I think? Damn it if only they did this sooner. Froome lost 21s on Bardet.

 

[i_am_ben]

Should have attacked Froome earlier.

 

[chicken_pasta]

If only they had attacked Froome a couple kms back. The man couldn't respond to this short attack!

Edit: Aru should be the new yellow. Almost same time as Bardet + bonus.

 

[Addnan]

That run to the line was fucking brutal

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Aru in yellow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Gandie]

Froome looked terrible on the last 500 meters.

 

[Psychotext]

Meh.

 

[jakonovski]

Oh man Sky was all show after all. Bardet/Aru could've teamed up to gain significant time on Froome, had they dared.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Oh man Sky was all show after all. Bardet/Aru could've teamed up to gain significant time on Froome, had they dared.

not really, Froome would have been able to handle everything, those last few hundred metres were the hardest part of the stage.

 

[neoanarch]

Great finish in the end.

 

[aspiegamer]

I love the creative final 1kms they've had this year. I don't think anyone in that group thought Froome would crack.

There's one more mountain finish, yes? That's going to be hot.

 

[Addnan]

Froome is probably too big for 20% vs those guys, but any other terrain the Sky train would make it impossible.
