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

[Happy dude]

Quickstep doing all the work for a change

already raining @ finish

 

[Kwibus]

Just home. I live in Delft which is 10km north of rotterdam.

Atleast 4Bft now which is more then enough for echelons when they ride along the coast. In the west I see dark clouds coming.
Not unlikely to get some proper bad weather, but it won't last long and the wind can drop quite fast as well.

It doesn't have to last long, it just needs to create chaos.

Actual weather radar in NL. Allready very slow so you can there is poor weather coming. The dutch love to check weather sites...

Rain sweepes along the coast and doesnt seem to come land inward and it's allready raining along the coast, but. I dont if its still raining in 2-3 hours... Thats what matters afterall.

I think Etixx will try to thin down the bunch in the wind.
And it looks like they're counting on BMC's help.
Let's see if Katusha will ride the bunch out at the sea.

The four at the front should get their own roar on the banks.

The wind is picking up BIG TIME at the coast right now, its gonna be carnage once they hit Zeeland for sure.

 

[BlackWhiteEagle]

Polish commentators claiming there are strong winds near the finish.

Re:

Kind of having a feeling Astana will try something later when/if the wind picks up. Better keep your eyes open.

What the hell is an English postman doing in Utrecht???

 

[classicomano]

Only 17 degrees at the finish now with big winds and rain, still 28 in Utrecht with no wind.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

The borders are already collapsing at the finish lol

So the eastern gusts in the crosswinds?
Will they invite Olga's boy's to the party?
He pretends to be too fancy for the brothers.
Etixx holds the Warsaw pact.

Just keep the Orica team bus out of the way.

Re:

Why would you need a "natural break" half an hour into a four hour stage?

because every human being should pee every 2 hours at least. they've been on the bike like what? one and a half :facepalm:

Re:

All this hype about Dimension Data and the greatly enhanced information available to us: is there some race tracker data stream available, or just the live status page at letour.fr ?

Based on Dimension Data's twitter, they are still testing it.

 

[sir fly]

The team navigators should lead the fleet on the edge of a cloud.
This is a stage for precise measuring. You don't want more bad weather than you can handle.

They're just practicing for when the climbers really take the p!ss out of the race in the mountains.
