Put simply, yes.I know a lot can happen in any GT, but realisitcally can anyone actually see Nibali losing from here? Froome is out and Contador is over 2 minutes behind already.
We haven't seen Nibali's mountain form yet, and his run in form to the Tour was less than impressive. Contador could pull that back in one climb, let alone the whole tour.
If a whole team went on a breakaway, the peleton would deem it to be too dangerous to them, so the whole peleton (or certain teams within the peleton) would work together to bring them back. Also, breakaways very rarely work (even large ones) and the breakaway riders will usually lose time by the end of the stage. If a whole team put themselves in that situation it would most likely end up a disaster, with riders burning themselves out and losing time.Ok I have a racing tactics question. Why don't teams go on a break away? why is always groups of 1 or 2 from a smattering of teams?

%80 chance for podium %15 chance for gcWith Porte 1.58 behind is he any chance at GC or more like a podium chance
The question I have about Porte is... How much time did he lose looking after Froome who kept falling off, before abandoning the race leaving Porte as the number 1? Would he have been in that lead group and not stuck back with Contador if not for the other goings on?
Still wouldn't have thought he could win it, but he might have been a lot closer than just under two minutes down if he didn't have to stop/slow down for Froome. Would have made it more interesting anyway.
Thoughts?
Pretty sure he didn't stop fro Froome.The question I have about Porte is...

He wouldn't have been in the group he was when they went through the cobbles, if he'd stopped for Froome. Froome crashed twice on stage 5. I think Porte stopped the first time, but not the second time (when Froome abandoned).Pretty sure he didn't stop fro Froome.
Thread is up, however preview will have to wait. Was up at 4.30 for the WC final and just home from work now. Will have a nanna nap, but I promise the preview will be up by the time coverage starts, probably before that.Stage 10 needs a preview asap, one of the most brutal stages in a long while
Orazio2Joe do your thing!
No rush, you do a fantastic job! Cheers.Thread is up, however preview will have to wait. Was up at 4.30 for the WC final and just home from work now. Will have a nanna nap, but I promise the preview will be up by the time coverage starts, probably before that.
