[saneguy]

1. Kristoff
2. Howard
3. Boonen

Howard second again...gets the leader's jersey

 

[maltiv]

Woah, didn't expect that after his weak display in Qatar. Excellent win for Kristoff. Good to see that he's on track for the classics, particularly considering that M-SR is back on the table for him

 

[fraserhughes]

Anyone know what happen to Greipel...? Not mentioned on the Twitter Ticker.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Nice win for improved Hushovdv2

[DJ Sprtsch]

A fourth place for Robert Förster!

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Kristoff wins!

Unintentional tribute to Kristof G: nice.

 

[manafana]

kristoff didnt have bad shape in his last race as such he just had some bad roadburn and eased up in sprints then.

Greipel get it all wrong will be nice to hear from later.

 

[maltiv]

According to Kristoff, he started the sprint with almost 500 meters to go and thought he had no chance of winning, but to his surprise, no one was able to pass him.

Will be interesting to see the race replay tomorrow.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Frösi! F### yeah!

Sounds a bit like Theo Bos, in the same race. He did a 500 m sprint with Bennati on his wheel.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

ok stage 3 below:

Enough bunch sprints please.

Sagan or what?

Are all the GC boys still on vacation?

 

[EnacheV]

Kreuziger and Froome finished together, i think he is man marking Froome already

But i'm rather interested on who will make the big surprise from Movistar team. Oh wait, they are not here, big dissapoint

 

[McLovin]

What are the numbers for that last hill?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

What are the numbers for that last hill?

Can only find the last 5km:

 

[tomorrow]

Sagan quite back in both stages, which is quite odd. Has there been reported some problem? Or better, was he even trying. I know he is usually not in his top sprinting form in the start of the year, but usually not so bad either. Can't watch the replays on eurosport, so I have no idea.

My guess: for Sagan it will be the quality of the victories this year, not the quantity. Guess he's not that interested anymore in winning 'minor stages', no offence whatsoever.

It seems as though there is zero coverage of this race. I swear I was able to find video of this race last year and it was phenomenal. Why not this year?

[ItalianGigolo]

What about Boonen for tomorrow stage? You think he might win it?

 

[Netserk]

What about Boonen for tomorrow stage? You think he might win it?

No. He won't be in the first group contesting for the win either.

 

[ItalianGigolo]

Stybar then from Omega or it is GC guys time?

 

[Netserk]

Stybar then from Omega or it is GC guys time?

Former would be my guess. Maybe Sagan.

I do think the front group will be less than 30 riders.
