Das powerkraut takes it. Sadly I can only watch the twitter verse.

Pinot had to receive assistance "when the battery in his derailleur went flat."
|
More likely a loose wire than a flat battery.

Looks like it was Shimano di2... would have been more interesting if it was the new SRAM electronic setup.
|
^If it had been SRAM, the excellent customer service would have had him a new rear derailleur in 48 hours.

What a great win by Tony.

So what? I've won this way, you've won this way. It's all about the catch, and they didn't.
|
And on a teammate's bike!

where's terpstra ?

re: cav losing the yellow jersey for tony, it actually seems better not to have to defend a jersey they won't hold on to anyway, at least from cav's perspective. it would make for good pictures but not really a good strategy.
plus it would only distract cav's team from helping him win stages. gotta focus. |

Me too. I HATE it and how they dumb everything down...often to a point of saying stupid things. Usually I stream eurosport, but my internet is spotty for a few days.
at least the video is great. |

either way, losing 6+ minutes isnt a ringing endorsement for an electronic groupo
pinot looked done before this happened, at least to my eye. still, mechanicals suck but that's part of them throwing cobbles in there. |
we need a new name when electronics fail.
anyway +1 in a great stage today. froome played a great chess match by handing off the yellow jersey to a pawn. good for tony tho! and awesome that nairo made the split! |

if di2 hadn't been raced in the world tour for 6+ years, this might be a thing.

Totally epic.

I'm not sure if I like this new style of "racing". Sky, BMC, Astana, Movistar all lined out next to each other at the front, 4-5 deep each. Mile after mile.

I kinda always assumed people watched this stuff ironically. Flip the top on a PBR and watch the destruction of all that's holy with a bemused detachment and knowing smirk while picking urban BBQ out of your beard.
