Re: Re:

One of the Sky riders near the front is Knees I think.

It's Knees.I think i saw Moscon too.Not sure if Stannard is still there.

If it stays like this, that's Sky's worst cobbled campaign since...?

doesn't help that they their two best guys don't race them

Re:

GVA and Kristoff rejoining. But how much energy did it cost...

None. They just followed the wheels.

Re:

That's definitely not true for GVA. I saw him in the wind pushing hard a couple times.

Kwiatkowski did what he always does.
Do well early on, reassure everyone that he definitely didn't peak too early this time, then peak too early.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Man, it's great pictures to see Trek at the front!

Yeah, winning a monument and a classic is peaking too early.

Dropped back to peloton after Arenberg

He specifically said he was aiming for Liege. He did well a month before, now he's losing minutes on climbs and TTs
Yeah that's too early.

By your logic, if I aim for the Tour, win the Dauphine and DNF the Tour I didn't peak early.

 

[Forever The Best]

What a fail by QS and Boonen

 

[Billie]

Stuyven, Degenkolb, Burg, Sagan, Naesen, Van Baarle, Oss, GVA in front

 

[jsem94]

Stuyven killing it.

 

[portugal11]

Big quickstep's fail

 

[Jungle Cycle]

is Naesen still there??

 

[Irondan]

No Steppers in the front group!

 

[bigcog]

Sagan goes!

 

[glassmoon]

QS shattered. Obligatory QS fail

 

[Billie]

Degenkolb doesn't dare to go with lol

imagine comparing him to guys like Sagan and Gva

 

[portugal11]

Lol sagan is doing a 2012 boonen

No. By my logic, if, as a one day racer, you win a monument and a classic within a couple of weeks of each other, followed by a low key Pais Vasco, you have peaked perfectly.
