The chaos of crosswinds during stage 10 put Team Ineos in second and third place and it looks like it\u2019s only a matter of time till Thomas and Bernal surpass Alaphilippe. They can sit tight and wait for the others to attack. There\u2019s no place to hide now. Will the other GC hopefuls have the stamina, though? And will they have the courage?<\/strong>
\n<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen Bardet attack on stage 9 and how Ineos tamed him easily. The Frenchman is now 2:08 down on Thomas and should go into a full aggressive mode. Thibaut Pinot seems to be on a better form this year. However, he lost 1:40 in the crosswinds and will have to battle hard as well to get back to contention.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m confident, still,\u201d Pinot said. \u201cThere are three big days in a row, there\u2019s the time trial, the Tourmalet and the stage to Foix. Those are three stages where a lot can happen. We know the Tourmalet, it\u2019s a summit finish, it will hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n

The stage on Thursday features Col de Peyresourde and Hourquette d\u2019Ancizan, both category-one climbs. The 30-km descent could wreak havoc as well. Then the summit finishes on Tourmalet on Saturday followed by Prat D\u2019Albis on Sunday, which could change anything that happened in the whole course of the race. Exciting days ahead of us, indeed.<\/p>\n

Sounds like an ideal ground for Nairo Quintana? Our \u0160koda ambassador Andy Schleck<\/a> had this to say about him: \u201cHe did so very well yesterday, didn\u2019t lose any time and I really think he\u2019s here to win the Tour, not to finish second.\u201d<\/p>\n

What do you think? Who do you favour to come out of the Pyrenees wearing yellow? Let us know!<\/p>\n
