Poor Bardet, hell awaits. What's with the bag on the neck?

He was asking for ice just before the start so I guess it's a bag of ice.

I haven't seen underrating. I think Peraud is the favorite to Pinot and Valverde.

I think in terms of his finish compared to others. He seems to be rated behind quite a few riders in terms of finishing top 3 in the stage which I think is a real possibility.

Froome has crashed. There will be no tailwinds.

Was it Kerrison that taught him how to induce a tailwind where ever he rides? I thought he only worked with top-end guys like Wiggo

Dumoulin comes in second at 1.39. Barta still third at 1,47. Chava 4th at 2.36

 

[Jerkovin]

Surprise us all, Thibs.

Allez Pinot stick it to Valverde,

 

[trevim]

[Big Doopie]

[roundabout]

They should have added Piti to the virtual comparison

 

[ILovecycling]

Pinot pushing too hard?

 

[Big Doopie]

Indeed. French TV pretending Piti doesn't exist.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Peraud looks more aero.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Zubeldia nearly 2 mins up on Rolland at first checkpoint: no fears of losing top ten

 

[luckyboy]

lol that was so quick Peraud

 

[Miburo]

Indeed. French TV pretending Piti doesn't exist.

And he has the best chance to be 2nd, the french...

 

[Rollthedice]

Indeed. French TV pretending Piti doesn't exist.

As usual he'll pop out of nowhere at the finish line.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Kwiatkowski...

 

[roundabout]

Konig passes Ten Dam on GC already

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Konig passes Ten Dam on GC already

needed 22 seconds, already has 80'

 

[SeriousSam]

Anyone know how Valverde is doing compare to the Frenchies?

 

[Miburo]

Mollema

 

[T-Nielsen]

Valverde has a nice position on the bike and it looked smooth but maybe it is smooth and slow. Who knows.

 

[Frosty]

53rd for Tens Dam at the first check
