2014 Tour De France stage 1: Leeds › Harrogate (190.5km)

[Lanark]

Lotto is pushing like someone of note is dropped.

Cav apparently.

 

[No_Balls]

Would be funny if Yorkshire cattle disrupts contador.

Speaking of Contador. Any sights of him yet? Hasnt seen him or Tinkoff the whole day.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Tinkoff, Sky, Movistar, and Astana all close to the front.

 

[the sceptic]

any significant GC riders dropped here?

 

[Arredondo]

Pinot also in the second group

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Speaking of Contador. Any sights of him yet? Hasnt seen him or Tinkoff the whole day.

Are you colourblind?

 

[JackRabbitSlims]

Yeah, very obvious / visible in the Peloton.

 

[Hugo87]

Well interesting stage, Purito(kinda expected),Pinot and Cavendish should be worried.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

any significant GC riders dropped here?

Doesn't look like it. All the top contenders are up front.

 

[Afrank]

Speaking of Contador. Any sights of him yet? Hasnt seen him or Tinkoff the whole day.

Looks like they're just behind the movistar team not too far from the front.

 

[JackRabbitSlims]

"shut up Jens"
Will he stay away??

 

[sultanofhyd]

I suppose the credit for the split goes to the crowds on Buttertubs?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

If he can get himself to some kind of health, Purito for GPM from here

 

[JackRabbitSlims]

Royalty!!

Epic.

 

[hoolaparara]

Good for Purito, if he doesn't drop time early there will be the temptation to hold on for a GC position and then he will always be too close to be let into a break. This will work better for him.

 

[Super Voeckler]

bow down, subjects

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

"shut up Jens"
Will he stay away??

"Shut up, legs" is the right quotation

 

[No_Balls]

Purito is dropped, but no surprise really

One could definitively question his motivation for this. Having been in the latern rouge at the climbs and he is not exactly working his socks off to bridge the gap

JackRabbitSlims: Indeed. Hats off for the british people on the road. A privilege to enjoy this beautiful landscape

 

[cocteau_ireland]

The prince will be happy to see a german leading

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Why is Lotto pushing? Any sprinter caught back? Cav is in the pack.

 

[HoinkDoink]

How many riders are in the Rodriguez group?

 

[Publicus]

These roads are making for some pretty decent racing. Tomorrow is going to be very interesting.

 

[JackRabbitSlims]

"Shut up, legs" is the right quotation

"Jens Voigt is Ridiculous"

Do your home work!!

"Shut up Jens" is very correct -

 

[petiagos]

This stage is trick....
I bet the really sprinters will have a lot of dificulty at the end...
So... my bets:

- Sagan
- Greipel
- Degenkolb
- Gerrans -.... maybe


then the sprinters ....

 

[the sceptic]

tomorrows stage will be madness..
