Re: Re:

Come on guys, help Tony out!

It's almost like Sky and Lotto don't want to win the race. They may well need Martin's power later to stay clear; crazy not to use up some of their lightweight doms now, who won't last the distance anyway.

They don't want to sprint against Boonen but they haven't stopped to consider that there's still riders up the road

Should worry about that later anyway. It would be a lot easier to drop Boonen in the last 20km, than it would be to drop Boonen, Stybar, Trentin, Terpstra, Sagan and Canc.

Quite amazing that Moscon is in this group considering he's only been a pro for 3 months

 

[Flamin]

At this point, the LottoNL guys are just happy to be there I think. They burned a lot of energy when they had to bring Sep back to Boonen.

[More Strides than Rides]

Popovich called back to help

 

[kingjr]

35 seconds

Popo dropping back to help chase

 

[Brullnux]

Lotto guys will be tired, they had to work loads to get Martin and Boonen back, who now are also really tired.

 

[DFA123]

Popovych called back. Looks like last chance saloon for Trek.

 

[lemon cheese cake]

I think Popovych has been called back to help the chase.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Go Popo Go!!!

Some people didn't like when I said it was a shame he was only 70 or 80something in RVV, but it's because he really is this promising already.

 

[Arredondo]

Popovych great work

Sky need to suck it up and ride for Stannard or Rowe, but not both

 

[Brullnux]

Good decision to bring Popo back. Saves Canc and Stuyven a bit.

Correct

 

[DFA123]

Lotto and Sky just need to work to at least maintain the gap while Popovych burns himself out - and it should be all over for the Canc group.

 

[42x16ss]

Hayman is a beast today. Nice ride

 

[TMP402]

Sky should probably call Puccio back.

 

[DFA123]

Sky and Lotto pushing hard at the front now - Martin getting a nice rest in the group. This should be all over for the second peloton unless another couple of teams commit hard to help Trek.

 

[Laplaz]

What is Burghardt doing?

 

[lemon cheese cake]

Gap between Cance and Boonen/Vanmarcke goingout again:

Just don't see Sagan and Cance getting back.

Re:

He hasn't been taking turns in the break for a while and they are nearly caught anyway. He should be able to work for a bit when they are caught.
