Re:

Can Froome crash at the same corner he did in April?

Man, that's some poor form from you.

 

[TMP402]

Sky leading out from pretty far...

 

[TommyGun]

Will Sky actually drive a train up to the top of Huy?

 

[burning]

Sky down to 3 men already, bet that Froome will start Huy at a bad position.

Re:

Kwiatkowski pulling himself, not a single Etixx jersey in front of him.

Said himself that he is not in shape and wont be looking for individual wins unless he feels great one day. So working for Tony, at least thats what it seems.

Jens needs to work more on his English pronunciation. Very technically proficient nonetheless.

Probably just trying to keep the Dawg out of trouble.

Re: Re:

Valgren thinks that Sagan have a better chance winning than Contador today.

I'm picking Sagan as well.

Interesting. I must say that i've been impressed that he always seems to at the front on the steep hills, but i've not seen him be able to accelerate when they big guys go. He usually sits up and do his own tempo.

I recall a couple of years ago while riding for Liquigas/Cannondale, along with Nibali, at Tirreno-Adriatico that he was quite impressive on a stage that had a fairly steep climb to the finish. Controversy insued when he actually took the stage win after a failed Nibali attack that Sagan, if my memory serves me, led Nibali's rivals past him in his successful effort to win the stage. He attempted to make up for his mistake in the following stages though, but the display of climbing strength on a relatively short/steep, winding climb was quite impressive.

It’s a different Sagan. I also remember Sagan climb a long hill with 10” to Cunego, catching him the descent and beating him at the Tour de Suisse.

Do you watch cycling during the year? Because Sagan just won the Tour of California and did a great tour of suisse. Yesterday he saved contador, worked, had a flat tire, came back and was inches away of beating greipel on a flat sprint finish.

Someone will go up the Cherave and it will destroy the peloton

 

[Christian]

It will be interesting to see whether Bardet can show anything up the Mur

And on another site he says he's in better shape and smarter than last year.

So what? AFAIK the Mur de Huy is not exactly a flat sprint finish...

 

[pedromiguelmartins]

Etix trying to drop Tony as soon as they can.

So maybe Sagan is in his best shape ever. In that case, he might win.

 

[woodburn]

Too bad Cav isn't around to lead out Tony going up the Mur.

loooool Froome
