Looking forward to 5k time. Hope it doesn't disappoint.

How easy does Kiryienka make it look? HUGE ENGINE!!

 

[the sceptic]

Seems very odd. Why would where you finished on stage 1 matter?

everyone is on the same time. How else will you separate them?

 

[spalco]

Just tuned in - anyone of relevance other than sprinters not in the front group?

 

[sankaa]

Sagan will take this. Will get some competition in EBH though.

Millar was highest placed on stage one on those that are left. He will only lose yellow if there are time gaps. Yellow Jersey is time based not points based

Bringing Tony home

Makes sense that, great team man

ffs, the first GC countback rule is the "super points" i.e. the sum of all stage placings. That is a UCI rule.

 

[Gubby Allen]

Greipel and Bouhanni are still at the top of the betting for this stage.

Anyone got a stream link?

What? Millar is on the same time as everyone else

Points or stage placings for both stages. I don't see why stage 1 would matter more than stage 2.

 

[Gubby Allen]

I fancy Navardauskas to be in with a shout of this.

 

[Inquitus]

Its the sum of the finishing positions from stage 1 & 2 for everyone on (st) that decides yellow.

 

[Gubby Allen]

Dumoulin must have a big chance for yellow if he is there.

 

[Kender]

Crash territory here everyone going crazy

It is the same as the yellow jersey. The yellow jersey only loses his placement if there is a time gap not placement on today's stage. The same principal applies to Millar he was 4th yesterday and he only loses his placement if there is a time gap not his placement today.

 

[Gubby Allen]

Its the sum of the finishing positions from stage 1 & 2 for everyone on (st) that decides yellow.

If hes there, Dumoulin could be top 6 or 8 in both.

 

[roundabout]

here we go.

 

[Gubby Allen]

Bouhanni is there, at least at the moment he is.

 

[the sceptic]

The Dawg really struggling not to attack there

 

[Duke_S]

stream please?

 

[Kender]

Europecar and their faces hehe

 

[Amused]

Cav and co. how far behind? Any chance of time trouble today?

 

[Hayabusa]

Froome goes!
