Obviously they will go if (and very likely) it's going to be a bunch sprint. But they leave catching for other teams, mainly for Orica-GreenEDGE.

ah, I understand, agreed.

Horner did half the stage drafting behind the car and nothing happened, Sagan did 2 seconds and got an earfull. Thats life. ;)

I never expect consistency. Just found the whole scene amusing. :)

Morkov shows, that he could be a very good rider. This guy is amazing. Tinkoff should be proud.

He "could" be a very good rider?
You really think a "could" be very good rider could do what hes doing right now?
He drops 7 french guys on Bastielle day, he been taking 1.5 minutes on the chasing peloton the last 20 km, and you think he "could" be a very good rider? :rolleyes:

In this game you still need at least a few decent victories in order to be considered a "very good" rider.

Why do they have boring stages on the weekend? I thought traditionally the TdF (and the giro) would try to capitalize on the fact that people have the day off and increase viewership with exciting stages...

He comes from the track, world champion and Olympic silver, winner of several 6 day races, he do have victories on the road, tho only 1 UCI so far, but lots of smaller race result, but it´s not a measure of how good a cyclist he is, if you think only victories decides if a rider is "very good" I suggest you go back to watch soccer or what ever you watch, course then you have absolutely no knowledge of cycling!!!

Oh, I see. So you think, he already a very good rider. He has shown that he can attack, that he has the strength, but as Opalius wrote, he still need some victory.

He is good, there is no question, but he will, and he could be much better.

Oh joy.

There are only 4 people in GC that still matter.

Would have been good in the first week, now barely anyone cares.
