2014 Tour de France Stage 3: Cambridge – London: 155km, flat

[screaming fist]

The most practical thing would surely be for the riders to enter the train in the busses and stay there. However, Eurostar will surely want them in their passenger carriages for promo pictures.

Did Greipel go for it?

no, he didn't

 

[Afrank]

Really a shame that none of the other top sprinters seem to care about green.

 

[Eclipse]

Did Greipel go for it?

nah.

Coquard, Sagan, Demare, Van Avermaet

and the rest made up of the europcar and cannondale leadouts basically.

 

[Don't be late Pedro]

Hence why he wins green

Clearly can't get anything past you

I am sure they care but know that they are on a hiding to nothing and prefer to concentrate on the stage win.

I thought the change of points for the Green was a good move, but given Sagan's dominance in it at the moment, surly something will have to be done to shake it up? Otherwise its going to go a similar was as KOM.

I don't know, Coquard clearly has the legs over Sagan and even though he was one of the first to be dropped yesterday I don't think there are enough stages like yesterday where Sagan can survive but not Coquard, and if he can keep outsprinting him who knows?

EDIT : And you can trust Europcar to go all out in breaks every single day and steal sprint points off Sagan if Coquard has a decent chance at the jersey

Andy and King down


I like Bretagne and Netapp this year,very active,good wildcards

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Andy down, looks like he hit a pedestrian?

I guess someone else hit the spectator. Unless Andy hit and bounced 10 yards backwards

 

[yespatterns]

Andy down, looks like he hit a pedestrian?

I think it was just a small increase in slope.

 

[MartinGT]

Suprise, Suprise, speactator brings down Andy.

Sky scoring points with the British public

Looks like the fan is ok. No real collision.

...which really is plausible.

 

[Walkman]

Andy down, looks like he hit a pedestrian?

A SKY cyclist hit a spectator with a camera…

And then Andy was caught up in the crash.

 

[woodburn]

Nobody is dropping back to help Andy?

 

[glassmoon]

Nobody is dropping back to help Andy?

Ain't nobody got time for that?
