Getting dropped is very obviously never a good sign. Maybe a mechanical or so? I really hoped he could make a move today or get a Top 10. But hey, race isn't over yet. Astana very aggressive.

Yeah unless someone goes on a crazy attack from a long way out and holds on for the win people might be happy but in saying that I still think some would complain

They have been driving a hectic pace and now with two in the break they must have confidence in Nibali

Nah, people complain when its justified. So far the racing is very good to watch because actually something happens. Contrary to most of AGR and Fleche.

Which is really weird because Nibali has shown nothing so far except for a rather weak attack in AGR where Clarke got the better of him. Maybe Nibali just wants to make us believe that he has some form, again.

Really nice move by Astana this, making for an interesting section.
Still Katusha doing Movistar work

Not sure if I should cheer for Astana because of aggressive tactics or not cheer because Astana you know.
Wellens had a mechanical or flat, smthg like that. So, still chance seeing him doing the Wellens thing, maximum attacking.

Attacking and doping it's the Vino way
But seriously Astana guys are in general attacking guys!

Actually, maybe they attack because Nibali isn't in form. So, let your guys just have fun and try countless moves and maybe you get smthg out of it. I think Scarponi is usually worthwhile in La Doynne.
