Sagan doesn't give a *** about 4th

WTH are the Dutch doing?

PCS has Bardet and Landa at 0:34, 7 seconds behind the main group.

Re: He finished on a bike from the car, so that wouldn't have mattered.

The official youtube stream (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70VuonEU9e4) has around a 100 viewers. Not really a good sign.

I just looked it up and I was partially mistaken. Last year they had a combination of points and bonus seconds. Points determined starting position and bonus seconds determined the gaps. This is one of the rare cases where Dutch wikipedia was more useful than the English version...

Last year the points the teams got meant the difference in starting time. So for instance if the first 2 teams were really close they could start 5 seconds apart and if they had a big difference they could start 2 minutes apart. Now the first 2 teams will start 30 seconds apart, regardless of...

I think a big problem with the Chase last year, was the route. You want to have 4 lane roads where, when the teams come close, every team picks a lane they then have to stay in. Instead, we had narrow roads, some of which didn't even have any road markings. Looking at the map this time, it seems...

This year the Hammer series will be on 3 locations: Stavanger, Limburg & Hong Kong. After last year's TTT debacle, the teams will now start on set intervals. Explanation of format: https://youtu.be/DR3e-u72iek 25/5 Climb 26/5 Sprint 27/5 Chase Position Time gap Difference 1 0:00...

Pozzovivo and/or Lopez the only one(s) to attack from a distance. The rest of the GC contenders will keep their powder dry for the last climb.

Re: Giro 2018 stage 14:S.Vito Tagliamento-Monte Zoncolan 186 3:10 is still a huge gap. I'm gonna go with Yates, Dumoulin, Froome.

Re: Giro 2018 stage 14:S.Vito Tagliamento-Monte Zoncolan 186 How about Froome for Wiggins.

IMO a rider who's MO is gaining time in the TTs and limiting his losses in the mountains, is bound to be somewhat boring. Fortunately, to counter this, the other GC contenders are forced to ride in an interesting style.

Re: Re: There are people who can do both. For instance there is this Dumoulin guy.

Re: Re: He shouldn't mark anyone, but just TT up the final climb. Only way he loses 2 minutes is if he implodes.
