Stage 16 – Vaison-la-Romaine / Gap. After a deserved rest day, punchers should have opportunities on this stage! #TDF pic.twitter.com/bSrux0P62w

"A white flash from a police car hidden at side of the road" my feeling about the speed the restday of yesterday past….

Flash: so quick it past, the shit feeling after… I want more restdays! 😉

Een goede morgen. Nog 6 dagen naar Parijs, maar qua klassements dagen zitten we pas op de helft. Gaat een loodzware week worden.

According to @RGUpdate. The best has yet to come. Pointing out with the scissors. pic.twitter.com/tEfihfY0HF

So if I want to get to Paris, now come 5 of the hardest consecutive days I'll ever face on a bike. In the best team to get through it though

Must be so hard to turn a year older for a sprinter and then the stage starts uphill….. happy birthday @AndreGreipel! ! #enjoy!

Contador have always his best day the day after the second rest day. So remake of 2011? Nice stage for offensive

Rit 16 – Costa wint, Contador en Froome in de graskant
Beetje te veel 'save energy' int begin met gedachte om kopmannen in finale te kunnen bijstaan. Tja, dan zit je niet snel in een kopgroep.

Blij dat Bauke deze explosieve finale goed overleefd heeft. Jammer vd min van Lau, maar volgende dagen passen hem beter. Zelf moraal getankt

Seems like Tour stage finishes to Gap are good for Portuguese. Didn't @sergiompaulinho win there the other year? Congrats @RuiCostaCyclist!

Had the embarrassment of having to stop in a field today in front of the whole peloton with a VERY poorly stomach. #mindyourstep

Got a nice question from tomleezer today:"Is't always like this on the edge at the #tdf?" My answer: Unfortunately yes #liveablock

Today my friend @HansenAdam showed why he is lactate intolerant. Doesn't feel it uphill to get in a break. Oh wait. Lactose~Lactate.

Well this climb was long and the speed we went in, was to fast for me. Sorry for the team and my supporters. Un grazie a @manuelquinziato

Congratulations @RuiCostaCyclist! Another great day for @Movistar_Team! We shall try to keep on like that the next stages!
