Re:

Sky burning matches too early?

They have learned nothing from RVV, obviously.
Or they want to shed all the ones nursing wounds from yesterday - just because.

Just bumping this

Re: Re:

Completely against narrative, Froome is the only one of the fab four to have ridden Paris-Roubaix apparently.

Didn't Quintana ride this year?

Nah, he rode DDV & E3

Cavendish leading the peloton and working for Martin, an apology for Stage 2?

He's gonna tweet something like "there you *** wankers I worked for Tony for 1 minute today. Happy now?"

 

[Cimber]

looks like an easy sector

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Cobbles ? Bah - way over-rated

Yes, plenty of Euskaltel riders did it as well in the past

Re:

this is easier than the other ones
Armageddon is yet to come

 

[Fight.The.Power]

Next section with 46.5km to go . . .

 

[spalco]

I thought that sector looked fairly hard actually - big stones with big gaps.

Sky should have brought Nieve...

 

[Cimber]

Latest weather reports are that rain will pass by just east of the todays stage. So looks like dry conditions till the end, though there is a low risk of a random shower.

Re:

Did anyone else see Sagan looking around for Alberto and then going back to pick him up?

I saw that... but i thought he was in 3rd position.

Contador puncture !

 

[TMP402]

Did anyone see how any of the GC boys did on that section? All I saw was a lot of Gallopin being dropped.

yep, people apparently dont know what they are talking about (otoh its true that 4 stars secteur is a diff beast )

Oh if you think that was bad you dont watch Paris-Roubaix often (0: It was bad for us mortals, sure , but nothing comapred to the 4 and 3 star sectors that will follow later

 

[Andro]

Looks kind of funny with these long rows of riders taking a piss.

It's a good sign. Cav can be very useful in the battle for positions.

 

[46&twoWheels]

those were not even stones, it looked as flat as a common road...wait for the real clash
(and it was extremely short too)

 

[Cimber]

Flat tire for one of the big 4 on a bad time today might very well cost minutes

Re:

Was he even dropped on the cobbles? seemed to be gapped in the splits before the sector.

Saw Nibali cruising at the front for the whole section, think Froome was close behind but didn't see much else. Think the others are all fine too, it wasn't ridden too hard.

Spots of RAIN!
