And I still expect Contador to be strong in the 3rd week. Question is, how far down will he be at that point?
It's possible, but unlikely. Nibali and Quintana are still in the race though, so no need to panic just yet.Ataraxus said:

Because then they would outsprint him anyway? I didn´t mean literally everyone. Just Dege, Kris and Coq.Flamin said:Z3lvet said:You can´t follow from fifth position and drop everyone.

Else it would make no sense at all for Sagan to let him go.
Very glad for Styby though, great stage win in his first Tour. A shame we didn't get to see his attack. Really lame job from the tv director.
What do you mean, drop everyone? Why would he need to do that?
Re: Re:
From the green points perspective, Sagan did the best he could. Drafting 3-4 other sprinters to Stybar would result in him finishing 4th-5th...Flamin said:Z3lvet said:You can´t follow from fifth position and drop everyone. Not even Sagan can do that.Flamin said:Sagan 2nd again, unbelievable

Re: Re:
Froome will always be a 'terrible bike handler' to some people. Even if he did a wheelie all the way up Alpe D'huez whilst juggling flaming clubs he would still be called a terrible bike handler, by LaFlorecita most likely.

sagan could do with watching this-if you want something badly enough you don't have to rely on others to help you get it.

Maybe Sagan's mistake was that he didn't stay closer to Stybar than he did. It was no shock that Stybar would try something like this.
Re:
+1. Even this weekend looks like it will be likely quite boring. Weather forecast here is very hot - I was looking forward to staying inside and watching hour after hour of TdF on Saturday/Sunday. Not worth it, I'm afraid.

The one thing that I still don't understand, how did Orica avoid a serious injury in today's crash?
Gesink still avoided all mass falls. How is it possible?
Too bad he lost his climbing legs somewhere around 2011

The prix combatif, why wasn't that given to the guy that rode ahead alone until 3 km to go? I thought he did a good job, actually.
Re:
You. God. ... Gesink 12th ... normally 11th if the peloton didn´t gave it away to Stybar...
Gesink (if continuing avoiding crashes) goes close to final T-10 CG

Re: Re:
You jinxed it. He will now fall once per stage until he abandons before the Pyrenees. Either that or I agree it's end times before Paris.

Will Sagan ever win a tdf stage again? I don't particularly like him, in fact I'll actively root against him in most races, but my soft core is beginning to feel sorry for him. Say what you want, but getting the green jersey without a single stage win, has to feel like a hollow victory. And doing it again and again can't make it any better.

Yeah, maybe Sagan should've stayed on Stybar. At least that's an actual thing. But maybe Stybar wouldn't have gone for it with Sagan on his wheel, and Dege would've won handily ahead of Coquard, Sagan a distant fourth after yet another late sprint. Queue the wtf-was-Sagan-doing-boxing-himself-in-behind-Stybar stuffstorm.
Heartbroken for Tony, but great win for Zdenek, perfectly executed attack.

Re: Re:
A bidon was thrown. You can clearly see it being thrown by Nibali at Froome on the coverage. Froome is a gent though so he doesn't want Nibali to get in trouble for it. Should be a DQ.

Re: Re:
Froome had to stop because he had some issues with his wheel. That explains why he finished so far down.
