Sagan would have won this if he hadn't had his mechanical

 

[huge]

Froome 0:00
Contador +8 secs
Nibali +1' 20
Quintana +1' 38

What goes around, comes around!
Quite interesting to see how Nibali and Quintana will now react, starting from tomorrow on the Mur and Tue on the cobbles. And don't forget that today Nibali spent definitely more energy than both Froome and Contador.

cancellara could even hold yellow tomorrow because the riders behind him aren't the strongest climbers for the mur de huy

Dumoulin will take yellow tomorrow.

Was there a gap between Froome and Contador at the end ? Looked like it but only saw the top 10 results.

Re:

HTC train coming for the final 10k.....

Called it.

Maybe not 10k but HTC superb in the last km......

Big mistake from Cav - too focused on the sprint and completely forgot about making sure Tony got Yellow

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Nice for Fabian, though
now he'll feel empowered again
to neutralise the odd stage.

Re:

Poor from Cav to sit up, but then he was not helped by Renshaws crazy decision to hit the front far too early. He gave Greipel a perfect lead out

That's no problem with Renshaw. All eyes were watching Cav that moment. He just needed to wait 50m more.

 

[the sceptic]

did anyone benefit more from weak sprinting fields than Cav? What a fraud.

 

[Guybrush]

Cavs teammates faces be like

 

[deValtos]

Apparently Contador 4 seconds behind Froome on the stage.

 

[trevim]

Nice to see Cancellara back in yellow

Dumoulin has a good chance, crossing my fingers for him.

quintana could be over 3 minutes behind the other contenders easily after only 4 stages

lol cav hahahahaha

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Rarer sight these days

 

[Cance > TheRest]

lol @ Eurosport reporters. The straight finishing stretch perhaps not ideal for Cav...

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

The new forum keeps failing......what the heck will happen when this race really gets going?

Awesome stage, Happy to see Fabu in Yellow again. Not happy for Nibali or Nairito, but that's bike racing lads!

Re:

They don't seems to realize Cav f*cked Martin over either…

 

[Punkan]

Dumoulin need to take 6s on Canc on Huy to get yellow. Not a given he will do that.

 

[Happy dude]

Wow.... I've never been so annoyed at a bike race

Quickstep have 6 riders

Soudal have 3

Why did they not lead out properly

Why did renshaw go early

Why did Cavendish go early

And WHY! Did he sit up. That is just not fair on TM who works so hard for him all the time.

I hope he apologises

When is the next sprint stage?....

I think Sky are prepared, although Froome/Thomas are probably too far back even if they did get an advantage.

Off-topic but why in the hell has Cancellara never even ridden LBL (or Lombardia)? He could have been able to win all five monuments but now is probably past it.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

BS Cavendish. He is not only a dirty sprinter (this fact we know all), but it is not the first time he gave up a sprint when he is not able to win... Personally I never liked him. So I hope he will just have a bad Tour.... Oh, and that he spoiled the yellow for his team-mate Martin is unacceptable. What a arrogant me-me-me hack... Hope he gets isolated within the team at least from now on.

yep, and considering he didnt plan to attack from 2nd week (imo) he is not in a good position at all, he has to hope that Froome and AC will lose time on Tuesday not him.
