13th BinckBank Tour (2.UWT) 7.8 - 13.8

[TMP402]

Suppose today finished again Wellens 1st Dumoulin 2nd, I can't see why there wouldn't be 10-6-4 available, so who wins on countback to the TT? Or maybe one of them goes for an intermediate bonus second.

Dumoulin would be 0.2 seconds ahead

Boom starts the festivities early.

edit: went nowhere. BORA riding, Sagan wants this.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Wellens seems stronger than Dumoulin.

edit: Sagan, Wellens, Stuyven and T. Martin.

Dumoulin has a serious problem now.

edit2: Soren Kragh Andersen the saviour.

Group still big. Wellens didnt gain time

Re:

Yeah. Still. Dumoulin didn't look that great on the Kapelmuur. But luckily they don't have to do that one anymore.
Dumoulin even takes a second.

lol again

 

[Red Rick]

Weening. Bigger gear than ever

Re:

echoes mode on:

Sagan just had the wrong mindset, that's why

/echoes mode off

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Sagan and GVA

Wellens not there. Dumoulin just behind

 

[xtensionjack]

Wellens dropped

 

[Red Rick]

Cant see Wellens winning anymore

Re:

Nope, only if the group comes down to a halt and an outside top 2 guy wins.

 

[alspacka]

This negativity is genuinely worse than even Fabian ever had to deal with. Ridiculous.

 

[Red Rick]

Dumo do easy

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Stuyven wins
2 Gilbert
3 Dumoulin

GC: Dumoulin

Dumoulin beats Sagan and GVA in an uphill sprint. hahahaha

 

[jsem94]

Well timed and clever attack there. Wellens didn't really challenge for the overall either.

 

[Der Effe]

What's even more shocking than Stuyven winning is the fact he still wears a Livestrong bracelet.

Sagan didnt seem to care to sprint once he knew chance for a stage win was gone...

Re:

He didn't have the legs. On thelast climb when Sagan and GVA went, Dumoulin was just behind, but Wellens could not follow.

 

[Red Rick]

Dumoulin scary. Will challengers the Canuck one day races. Make him leader for these WRR too

 

[frisenfruitig]

Nicely done by Stuyven, very strong well timed attack. Sagan looking good for a 3rd WC in a row, he was spent at the finish but it's obvious to see how good he is.

 

[Keram]

GVA lost podium because he waited Sagan to close the gap to Stuyven or what? I really dont understand why he did not follow him. Anyway pretty anticlamatic finale. I was hyped when peloton was blowing to pieces after Muur but somehow they stopped riding

What do you expect? Sagan wins bunch sprints - do you really think someone is going to tow him to the line? Bora's team here is not strong enough.

Dumoulin strong in the end, but he did have a good team mate with him when it mattered. Wellens faded afterwards.

Benoot another top-10 - he wants to win that cyclingnews forum contest.
