Sorry if it's already been mentioned but are there time bonuses at the finish?

 

[SKSemtex]

sagan new jersey for the tour of cali, he really has some vision, if he really suggested the core himself

He better has a good form out there, otherwise Cav tear him to pieces in that jersey.

But yes, nice jersey it would love to have one from this adition sign by him.

Wiggins have to gain big time on the ITT if he wants to have a shot at GC.

Among the world tour teams, Sky is the only one that appears to be taking the gc seriously. Wiggins should be able to climb with the best here and blow them all out of the water in the itt.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Apparently, it's quite windy in Sacramento today...

 

[manafana]

hard to go against wiggins wont win stage outside tt not going blow up either against these steady climbers

 

[TANK91]

Second best rider in the world behind is superious teammate Froome will win the GC. Brad Wiggins is in great shape will probably drop the favourites in July he is at TDF weight of 2012, don't say i did not warn you all.

Trust me Sagan is done as a future legend, i feel he has a shot but can't see him beating the big guys in classics in future.

He will be a 2nd tier sprinter in future he is not good enough uphill and same on the cobble's. We all though he would dominate by now but he hasn't i no he is young but still.

We will take your word for it......

Trust me i hope im wrong but i dont no weather he will get great at everything which we all thought he would. I would love a rider who could win basically every classic. I think Sagan will be a Green jersey dominator and there is no shame in that.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

I hope you're right but I fear you're wrong.

I hope you are right when you fear he is wrong

C'mon Libertine, I'm pretty sure that if he starts to calm down like Cav (as you described it) and gets a bit less arrogant in his wins - or has to fight harder to get them - you will start to like him.

Yep, he might not be the fastest sprinter or the best climber, but he definitely has the characteristics to dominate the green jersey competitions.

 

[Rollthedice]

Seems it's pretty windy. We might be in for some surprises.

OPQS is good in the wind. Cav will take it!

 

[Pricey_sky]

I wonder how much time Adam Yates will lose in the TT to Wiggins, the 2 uphill finished should suit him well and we know he is in great form after Turkey.

What a stream? What a picture quality compering this ****ty european streams , amazing.

Just because my antipathy has been reduced by his growing up does not mean I like Cavendish now. And Sagan has got a long way to go before he gets there. For the moment, I'd prefer it if he never won another race as long as he lives.

The Tour Tracker is usually the best thing about the Tour of California. For all the mockery the race's self-aggrandizement gets, they sure as hell do a good job of presenting it like a big deal.

Echelon.

They are time bonuses at the finish as well in intermediate sprints.

 

[manafana]

feels like the 11pm eurosport go live isn't going live much of the race to show maybe 20mins by my thinking.

 

[Pricey_sky]

According to the tracker there are still 82kms to go, we should get at least the last 35k's once pictures start.
