Longest interview I've ever heard with EBH.

[Pulpstar]

Big Phil has gone off pretty fast.

 

[GazelleFormula]

Chrono 1 - km 9.5 10'55''
sagan 8th

Did somebody tell him that there are points to be picked up at the first chrono?

 

[tomorrow]

Chrono 1 - km 9.5 10'55''
sagan 8th

nice time from him, I thought he would take it easy, maybe hoping for getting points also in ITT? How many positions are rewarded in ITT and what is the distribution? Any idea?

 

[Pulpstar]

To be honest though difficult to know with the first time check if someone is on a really good ride, can only probably tell with it if someone is on a really bad ride.

 

[Bakhjulet]

Gilbert going full *** today? Just +25 behind Panzer at first split

 

[Pulpstar]

Gilbert going full *** today? Just +25 behind Panzer at first split

2nd split is far more meaningful - ofc it normally is but in this case more than normal I think.

Points for today

20,17,15,13,11,10,9,8,7,6, 5,4,3,2,1 points
to the first 15 riders to finish

 

[tomorrow]

and also, it can be, that martin's time is not that good as we'd expect because of the injury from the first stage, then the other times looking good compared to his might not be as good as they seem.

 

[murali]

i think comparing de gendt and martin might be good


TM's speed dropped by @ 2.5kmph between first and second time check, and then raised by 2kmph in the final sector

In the case of tuft and de gendt, the speed was steadier between first and second time check, but both raised the speed in the final sector.

 

[Miburo]

Wtf Sagan lol

Agree.

Sagan is a complete beast. If any sprinter is going to turn themselves into a GC rider in the modern generation it's going to be him. Incredibly impressive.

 

[whittashau]

Impressive from Gilbert, scatch that, incredible, but he probably is super fresh considering how little he has done.

 

[Miburo]

Why do people always wanna ruin a rider by making him a GC-rider?

 

[Pippo_San]

This is THE HULK for you

Anyway big LOL at De Gendt. The most inconsistent rider of all time. I'm always baffled at him

 

[tomorrow]

Wtf Sagan lol

second time more meaningful I think, 2:30 in the finish? wouldn't be that bad too, considering he should be resting for tomorrow

he is powerfull, so he must do good ITT... but he didnt work that and his position was very bad... now he is improving that, and he do good ITT... but in Suisse was more impresive for me...

 

[zombo10]

My feeling... Yeah, i think Froome can/will beat Martin this afternoon. I think with his shape and his "super"bike, he can improve this 36' 29''. We will see...

 

[l.Harm]

Tom Dumoulin can surprise here

 

[Sylvester]

As this is rather dull, let's try to predict the results for the top 20 on GC:

I say

sub 37 minutes

Froome

sub 38 minutes

Kwiatkowski
Kreuziger

38'-38'30"

Peraud
Evans
Costa
Rogers

38'30"-39'

Valverde
Mollema
Contador
Quintana

39'-39'30"

Ten Dam
Fuglsang
Martin

39'30"-40'

Moreno

40'-41'

Bardet
Rodriguez
Nieve

slower than 41'

Schleck
Anton

[Pulpstar]

Was Gilbert wearing a bit there ? Or earrings - looked a bit odd whatever it was.

 

[Ruudz0r]

Amador to surprise today (not win but have a very good performance)
