Re:

New marginal gain: try some circus stunt to revive the boredom of the slowest escape ever (I know, wind, but Paolini and now Terpstra bridged 1:20 in no time)

how come, the peloton is not realizing that? even the lone leader is gaining time on G2...

So it's Roelandts vs Debusschere.

Assuming Debusschere makes it over the climbs.

Yes he will.

Re:

sagan... what a disappointment

Oleg seems like the kind of guy who could graduate from firing someone, to assassination pretty quickly...I'd be watching my back if I were him...

Re:

Vanmarcke can sprint pretty well at the end of a tough race as well. I think he could beat Roelandts, who will have worked too much if he is caught by the finish.

awww they just gave up. sad.

Re: Re:

All this idiotic hate for Vandenbergh. Love the guy, he's literally ALWAYS there on the cobbles. Stybar on the other hand is a very annoying brat.

Well, he made what looks like the decisive move in the race when his team leader (with Cav out of contention), fastest finisher and most on-form rider had a puncture and was off the back. Pretty idiotic from the team's point of view.

And he made it while looking over his shoulder wondering what was going on and then took 5 minutes to think to put his radio back in to find out what was happening. Hilariously incompetent.

Is there any decent rider left in the peloton who doesn't have a team mate up the road?

Yeah, would be so great if everyone would always follow team tactics 100% and make all races extremely boring. It's not like this is the greatest race I've seen this year. Oh, wait. It totally is.

He threw that bike like a cave man ...big macho. It was a great throw and shows how you should throw your bike. More riders should throw their bikes .....great stuff

The gap has finally come down, but by 6 seconds

Sagan thinking how he can avoid going to the team bus

Where has anyone said it would be great if riders always follow team tactics? I think it's brilliant the race has been blown apart. It's still idiotic from Etixx though.

best bike throw ever!

What? of course Roelandts is not going to win if they somehow catch him. It's either solo or no win.

 

[SeriousSam]

What happened to Sagan?

 

[infeXio]

Thomas gna win this

 

[ray j willings]

I think Sagan could still win it

Because team tactics are per definition boring

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Can Roelandts actually win this? 2 minutes now.
