2015 Tour de France: Stage 2: Utrecht › Neeltje Jans (166k)

Re:

The front group is not very big.

Organized though. Cav has most of his team there, giving him an advantage for the sprint if they can stay away. Van Garderen has 5 with him. Contador has 3. Of the 26 riders in the front, 22 are composed of just 5 teams.

Re: Re:

Anyone know the latest gap to the Quintana group?

Around 1 min.

Ok, so they're maintaining at 1m then..not panic stations...that's a big group behind vs quite a small group up front.

a small group with tony martin

Re:

Pinot is not in the front group

How about Uran?

I saw him in the first group about 5 min ago.

Re: Re:

Sky as always cant act tactically and sit this out. Pathetic.

Huh?

They could help out at the front ^^

Re:

I think this will come back. Kutusha, Astana, Movistar, and Lotto vs a pretty small group

Still not enough against a guy like Tony Martin.

Re:

Why wouldn't bmc put in eventually? It's a chance for him to out time into the guys who are pegging for fourth and fifth like him

The cycling etiquette makes it pretty tough to pull against your own Maillot Jaune.

FDJ, Movistar and Astana have a decent amount of helpers at the front of the 2nd group now. But of course the front has Der Panzerwagen.

Yeah, but the front group had T. Martin...

 

[Amsterhammer]

Times are unreliable, I'm seeing a 1'06 gap.

Yes, the Lottos all missed the boat.

 

[Miburo]

BMC is riding now, there we go.

 

[Asero831]

Why are BMC and Sky now working?

 

[Carols]

I'm waiting both NBCSN and ES and still don't get the race....what the heck!

If their Captain only looked up he would see there is a race going on yes.

Re: Re:

Someone tell the 2nd group to **** wait for Nairito group

That's the worst thing you can do. Just got to keep riding and let power decides who's the rider pulling. Organization by laissez faire, if you will.

What? everbody knows that was the only right thing to do. Nibali group had like 4 riders taking pulls.

Canc can take MJ with bonus seconds.

Re:

How about Uran?

EQS guys (in the front group) are Uran, Kwiatkowski, Martin, Renshaw, Cav and Stybar

Re:

Why not?

Got to keep up the pace!

Re: 2015 Tour de France: Stage 2: Utrecht › Neeltje Jans (16

pinot is probably also in the 2nd group. I saw some fdj riders there

 

[HiroAntagonist]

This stage is putting most of the monuments to shame this season...

 

[BlackWhiteEagle]

Show the ******* race Eurosport!!!

Re: 2015 Tour de France: Stage 2: Utrecht › Neeltje Jans (16

cancellara to take this with an attack near the finish

not when Cav has most of his team with him

Re: Re:

Still not enough against a guy like Tony Martin.

But all Tony Martin needs is 2 seconds. I can see him doing enough to get the jersey and for Nibali Quintana to lose effectively peanuts.

 

[McLovin]

Is Cavendish in the front group?

 

[Asero831]

Re: Re:

I saw him in the first group about 5 min ago.

But he is now in Quintana/Nibali group
