Last five kilometers :

If you follow the Tour history, it is the same finish as 1997 (Erik Zabel won), 2008 (Alejandro Valverde took yellow) and 2015 (Nicholas Roche gave BMC Racing Team a win). It also features in the Grand Prix de Plumelec.

As you see, there are plenty of good names and entertaining riders such as Bakelants, Benoot, Gilbert, Hermans, Alaphilippe, Gallopin, Aru, Brambilla, Felline, Moscon, Ulissi, LL Sanchez, Oomen, Poels, Kwiatkowski, Kreuziger, Stybar, Rui Costa, Sagan, Dan Martin and many more.

Should be great.

Pro teams are not happy withe this championship, too much races in a short time and they have to lend material to national teams....

Brexit's gone too far :lol:

 

[Keram]

I hope that elite one won´t be like Fleche ( waiting for uphill sprint). There is Sagan after all and that hill should suits him perfectly so teams shouldn´t counting on that.

Junior ITT

1-Alexys BRUNEL (France) 35'58"
2-Marc HIRSCHI (Suisse) 36'09"
3-Iver KNOTTEN (Norvège) 36'09"
4-Stefan BISSEGGER (Suisse) 36'24"
5-Andreas LEKNESSUND (Norvège) 36'31"

Bit of a surprise by Brunel. Hirschi and Knotten as expected.

U23 ITT follows soon. This will be a battle between Ganna, Cavagna, van Hooydonck and maybe Kämna.

GB send a team for Junior men and women, U23 men and women, but only senior women. I don't get it. Swift and Kennaugh would have driven there themselves.

There a jersey awarded?

Anyone ? Anyone ?

In the words of NIcole KIdman ..."What is the point of doing anything if no one is watching ?"

Thank You

Boy, what a performance by Kämna. He absolutely crushed the others. Nice ending to a difficult first pro season for him.

 

[Popchu]

The winner will wear a European Champion jersey, but if I'm not mistaken the winner of, for instance, the African Cycling Championships is not wearing such a jersey.

What's the reason for that?

 

[MatParker117]

Well tomorrow Jonny should grab Movistar a chance to butcher another jersey.

 

[scurrrr]

Kämna is a ripper!

 

[yaco]

No Denmark or Norway in the list of countries ? Strange !

Yeah, Kämna has a monster engine and is a rather light guy (65kg heavy and 181cm tall), it's nice to see him bac on track.
He had a pretty bad start as a pro but let's be real, Stölting going PCT turned out to be a bit of a mess, so let's hope that he'll have an easier time at Giant.

Denmark couldn't afford to go.
No idea about Norway

Norway said that they didn't know if they would have a refund of the travel and hotel costs that they paid in Nice so they decided to not send an elite team. Also, they didn't know if their big names for this parcours (Kristoff, EBH, Enger, etc.) wanted to go.

Ganna must be at least 190cm then, probably more.
