Rogers only +13 at intermediate. Keeps impressing me

I wouldn't mind seeing him take it easy on stages like this. :eek: He's got a lot of work to do over the next three weeks.

I think some of the guys like Majka, Kreuziger, Benatti, Sagan and Rodgers have been instructed to go full gas today and hang on at Huy, so they can get the best possible car position for the next few stages (especially cobble stage).

Precisely.

Right. Of course. Good call, guys. :eek:

What is the HD cut off? If it is 25%, Cherel is in real danger, It would only need Tony or Tom to take 7 seconds off Dennis to send him home after one day,

30% I think

My feeling is Dennis time will stand... I already hear the champagne corks for the 250/2500 $ guys here... but in beetween, some drama and high heart rates.

But surely Contador will get that and none of his team mates will do better than him in the TT

Car position is based on team classification, so 3 riders needed

Only the best rider of the team in the GC matters for that. No reason at all for anyone but Sagan and Contador to go full gas.
