These hills in the end are really small, I dont think Kristoff or Demare have a chance against Giant,even if they drop Kittel on Kemmel...

gatto could be dark horse today, sagan might do some fireworks to tire kittel and demare and then distancing him, with gatto delivering in the end, or at least this could be the plan for cannondale today.

 

[UselessToo]

Dark horses are Colbrelli (again) and Van Staeyen, imo

have a bet on him too,dont worry

 

[Wallenquist]

this years gaps are little bigger than usual so tt winner might not be the winner this time depending on main men like terpstra do.

But on the other hand the big group contains over 100 riders with some great TTers like Hepburn so is not so sure that the winner will come from the first group.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

You mean go Berserk on the Kemmel descent?

What goes up must come down as they say.

Good catch nevertheless.

We don't really want big hills at the end because everything will just end in a waiting game and a little sprint.

Now riders will need to dig deep mid race to avoid a sprinter taking the glory.

Perhaps Vanbilsen will deliver again.

170km to go, gap gap 3:30

[T-Nielsen]

Did they just forget an entire peleton 2 min behind the front ?

 

[SafeBet]

the first group is that group with Kittel and Demare?

From what I've read, yeah. They bridged to the break.

 

[Avoriaz]

Will Giant chase down their sprinter so he can win the sprint at the end?

 

[manafana]

Paolini taken a tumble? bandage on his knee, but confused here but assume the group will be hard caught

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

Will Giant chase down their sprinter so he can win the sprint at the end?

Obviously. Why wouldn't they?
