well Froome attacked him in the finish, when he saw that Sagan wanted to give the stage win to Bodnar, Froome tried it, ofc it´s understandable because there bonifications seconds, but whe Sagan noticed Froomes attempt, he immediately brought him to his senses :d

 

 

That thing after 45 seconds? That's not an attack from Froome, just spending his last energy to gain some more seconds and be ahead of Bodnar :d 

 

Anyway, great win from Sagan of course, now let's see tomorrow to see if Froome didn't go to far today :p

unfotunately tomorrows stage is shortened, but logical and right because apparently there very bad wind conditions in Mont Ventoux expected tomorrow. the finish will be 6 km below of the Mont Ventoux at Chalet-Reynard.

 

Mountain passes & hills 1

 

 

ofc such a pity, because Mont Ventoux is defiitely something special .

The best mountain in the Tour de France is gone tomorrow :(

 

Chalet Reynard is not that safe from the wind by the way, depending on the wind direction of course. If it comes from out of the open (from the red arrow), I guess it will be very stormy at the new finish line:

Tonight's two guests in the Belgian late night Tour de France talkshow: "Froome jumped behind Sagan because he knew Sagan is the best rider in this Tour" and "Sagan is not riding this Tour de France, he's riding his own competition right now." :d

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway
