Rest day today but what a stage Sundays Stage 15 was
![eek :eek :eek](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek2.gif)
It blown the tour wide open because it's the first time Alaphilipp has cracked and brought 2 or 3 other GC contenders back into contention, mainly Pinot who is now riding like a man possessed and has now become favourite.
Current prices....
A few things have now happened.
Bernal is showing he is stronger in the Mountains than Thomas which gives Ineos a huge headache because Thomas has a slight time advantage but with three days in the Alps to come this week they will have to decide which rider to back.
Either way neither look as strong as Pinot but the Tour always throws up surprises in the last week.
Alaphillipp has still has over a minute advantage but has now drifted out to 6's because of Sundays performance, He wasn't a mile off the pace and it makes you wonder was it intentional after ripping up all before him in the previous two weeks which would be drawing attention to him doping wise, Froome does the same to look normal for a day or two then usually comes storming back. I'm not saying either dopes but these type of performances do draw suspicion and because it's not always been a clean sport you do have to take it into consideration.
Also with a rest day today and a flat day tomorrow he'll have time to get plenty back in the tank so to speak.
I'm just pissed I never backed Pinot after Saturdays stage when I said he was now back in the fold.
Might put another couple of quid on Alaphilipp though now he's back out to 6's because I don't think he's finished yet.
