2011 Tour de France Stage 1: Passage du Gois - Mont des Alouettes 191.5 km

[Peccio89]

Basso was with the first group before the second crush at minus 2km, so they should neutralize his time

 

[The Hitch]

he crashed in the 2nd group.

lost time. Unsure where he ended but it wasn't in group 1

If there is no 3km rule I apologise to the Dutchies for my haste in answering but this is still not confirmed.

I still think it will be there though.

Where did Gesink finish in the end?

 

[dlwssonic]

watch out for evans on the bretagne and super besse sancy.

 

[luckyboy]

The crash just after 2kms had AC and co at 38sec - so if they neutralise there 38secs should be the difference in GC

the jury will decide

 

[valentius borealis]

Or would he be in green?

I think that Rojas may be in green.

edit. forgot that it was Ventoso in the intermediate sprint and not Rojas, Evans to wear green tomorrow

 

[spalco]

The stage ends and nobody knows where the hell anybody finished - is this the Tour or the Giro?

no thwy won't no 3 k rule at first stage

 

[No_Balls]

well yes, but even *I* consider Evans more of a threat than Klöden or VDBII.

Evans is no threat.

 

[dlwssonic]

The french will make sure conti loses time

 

[Havetts]

He did interview with dutch tv, people crashed infront of him. He fell over people, people fell over him. He has no injuries, but his bike was completely broken

Not if it was split already.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Was there a Radioshack or HTC-rider in the first group? I'll guess we will see one of them in yellow after the TTT..


EDIT: zomg, Tony Martin in yellow?!

Martin, Klöden and Horner all up there.

Kloden, Horner and Martin top 10.

Was that Bottle coming in with the Bertie group?

 

[The Hitch]

There is 1 major discussion unresolved.

Is there the 3km rule or not.

Please please please no.

I still think it will be there though.

Where did Gesink finish in the end?

the official site hasn't got him listed in the first 115 riders @2.25 down.

tour over for him .

Obviously Contador loses time to the Gilbert/Evans group, but the question is how he finished in relation to other GC guys.

Read my post, he got held up and his bike was broke. I think 3 km rule is being enforced, was the same with VDB2 in the Dauphine

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

i spotted mollema and lls

He was until the last 3km
The question is how serious the ASO takes this rule:

Falls in the last three kilometres

As has been the case since 2005, riders involved in a fall in the last three kilometres of a stage are given the same finishing time as the group which they belonged to. This rule is not applicable in time-trial stages and stages that finish at the summit of a climb.

This was a cat4 climb. If they are literal, Gesink gets the real time, and his bike was broken so that would be minutes....

 

[dlwssonic]

what if gilbert and evans are on the same team. one hell of an hilly team.

 

[Ramira]

Btw apart from the actual time gaps that are obviously going to be involved here. Is it just me or did Contador seem sorta resigned to losing the time. It just didn't seem like the Contador of the Giro to me, might be pure coincidence of course but it still caught my eye.

 

[Sophistic]

from the gc guys: Evans, F.Schleck, Roche, VDB, Kloden, Horner, Martin, Cunego and Vino in front group
