2014 Tour de France, Stage 6: Arras–Reim (194km)

[Eclipse]

Apparently Kittel punctured in the run in? Sucks for him but great for everyone else

 

[ruamruam]

Was Porte in the group that came in almost one minute down?

 

[jaylew]

Easier than I thought - had a full bike length and he was on the front for quite awhile.

 

[yespatterns]

Do we know top 5?

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Kittel bad time to have a puncture.

 

[mr. tibbs]

Gorilla wow.

Dude is massive.

I peed a little when he celebrated.

 

[pigoonse]

Yay, Greipel wins!

 

[go crazy]

Was Porte in the group that came in almost one minute down?

No he made it

Still 8th on GC so doesnt seem like it

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Ended up being an exciting flat stage. Great stuff.

Gorilla!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done Greipel.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

Hope Kristoff gets a stage.
Well done greipel!!

 

[Netserk]

This is how I like sprints, no ****ing train just chaos.

Now we are talking.

 

[MBotero]

If Kittel couldn't do it ,Greipel is here to sub him.Germans are rolling these days,they need 3 more to equal Die Mannschaft record it shouldn't be too hard.

 

[Vino's Mum]

Pinot loses 59 secs

This. And I've got much more respect for the wins that come in those conditions.

Due to the wind I think.

“There is nothing wrong with André, he just needs a good sprint to gain his confidence back,” Lotto-Belisol manager Mark Sergeant told VeloNews. “Things went badly in the first sprints. He lost the wheel of the last man, first it was [Greg] Henderson, then it was [Jurgen} Roelandts. They were there, but André was not on the wheel. He needs a good leadout, and when he doesn't, it's not good for him."

So much for that.

KOM, cobbles and sprinting, wtf.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Looks like the trend of Reim stage winner winning the green jersey will be broken.

 

[Ruby United]

Too far back. The lack of any teammates to help him in any final this year really hurts him.

Sagans is really impressive. As annoyed as I am that he is so dominant in the Sprint classification u can't say he doesn't deserve it. A top 5 in all (6) stages so far in this year's tour. Incredible!

 

[One Man Grupetto]

Pineau not happy with Maté - "Maté's a rat. He doesn't collaborate properly & he's going to pay me back over the next few days."

Presume he means, 'he's going to get paid back over the next few days'. Welcome to the gutters of Lorraine, Luis....

And Feillu 6th? Ahead of Coquard!
