By this, you mean Cav or the others?

yeah.

Greipel can definately handle this tho

 

[Tuarts]

How far to go?

 

[Reverend_T_Preedy]

If you look the profile the you'll understand (hint. it's uphill).

So what? I think you'll find there's some sprinters who could handle that, no problem (Hushovd, Goss, Hausler, Swift, Ventoso, Rojas). Cav won't be there but it doesn't mean the others won't either.

It looks good for a late attack though. It'll take some controlling from the sprinters teams.

If you look the profile the you'll understand (hint. it's uphill).

If you look at the list of riders I suggested for today you'll see Cavendish wasn't included (hint: it was pretty extensive). Link

Sure to be attacks now, first uphill starts with 13km.

The final 2k is only an average of 2%. The categorised climb is nothing much to worry about either but the uncategorised climb is harder (including 1.5k @ 6.3%). There's 4km for the sprint teams to bring it back before the 2km drag starts. I think it will be a sprint but quite much more competitive than usual.

Stannard going like a beast.

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Didn't freire forfeit ?

 

[Gloin22]

Jesus, Stannard doesn't look like 23 year old now

 

[Jamsque]

Hushovd is right up near the front.

 

[Ferminal]

Looked like Cav & Goss together near the front (ahead of Thor)?

 

[Moondance]

Cav must be feeling like a God, since his minions are certainly pushing it. Or are they working for Goss?

Agree this has got the silverback written all over it

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Do the HTC boys suddenly wear different glasses?

 

[Ferminal]

Bunch looking patchy now.

 

[Jamsque]

Hushovd and Sagan are making sure they don't miss any moves here.

 

[dlwssonic]

[Tuarts]
