Really impressed with Nibali to get back this close. The fans & motorbikes were ******ed. He should be getting the same time as Thomas's if they want to be consistent with what they did with froome 2 (?) years ago

Whelp, it was fun to dream for a minute with Juiscijk. Awesome stage regardless.

How will Froome get Thomas out of yellow?

Huge fail by Reebok to not have some 'Terrible Terry Tate' appearances this stage. I'd go out and buy Reeboks right now.

nope? production/organization of the tour woat as always. would be interested to find a fan-filmed video since all those idiots seem to wait hours to see riders pass once so that they can film it on their phone

Damn Nibali out of the tour? He was literally the fastest after his crash yesterday.

Well played to the tour organisers for allowing these morons on the road to do all kind of stupid things while their motorbikes are out there blocking the path to the riders and making them crash.

Also didn't reclassify him because "part of the race". Couldn't be less competent

It's part of the circus

Yeah, I'm with confirmedtroll here.

Pro Cycling is a big circus. Don't take it too seriously. How can you even watch this seriously without getting pissed off at the reality that literally every rider is drugged up to their eyeballs?

in previous years steephill would have links to clips of the final climbs or the final xx km of a stage this year it only has clips of the final km. even for the lalpe finish the only clip of the entire climb is in basque.

really annoying.

@nibali: no one in the top 4 was riding at their limit towards the top. it was closer to a track sprint where everyone was waiting for someone else to make a move.
not that it takes anything away from nibali, but it's obvious that he would not have caught up if everyone had been riding full gas.

Where would be spanish football right now if the Fuentes bloodbags were revealed ?

Almost every cyclists were about to be busted but when government saw that there was multiple Barca/Real names in the file they ordered the destruction of every blood bagw
