Re:

Disappointing break. And Lotto chasing must mean Gallopin is feeling extremely well if they are also willing to give Sagan a tow to potentially points for green.

Apperently gallopin doesn't feel his legs, monstershape.

Surely the Mûr would be ridden slower if the break wins, and thus more likely for Sagan to take the sprint behind. However if the stage win is up for grabs, it could be ridden so hard that Sagan won't top-10.

The breakaway lacks a couple of enthusiasts more.

Yeah but that's still a fairly big risk. It could be ridden hard, but it might as well won't. And I doubt those guys at Lotto have the thinking capacity to come up with a theory like yours

Yeah, I doubt that as well Lotto often chase when they shouldn't.

Didn´t even know that ARD brings TdF again... Only realized now that ESP needs to bring Moto-GP. That one I have in front of my house. They are loud, stinky, and thus ruin my ears, and nature... Really no need to show that crap on TV.

Professional cycling is probably more polluting though.

You should hear the lotto managers talk...they're pretty dumb.

But not my ears.
Really guys you can´t imagine when those crazy sickos think a street is a race track. Just some two weeks ago one of this idiots died driving into a fence, basically in front of my eyes...

Anyway, now ARD is "happy" to talk about their favo theme: The clinic issues of Paolini. Still better than no cycling at all...

You live nearby Sachsenring?

Professional cycling is the most polluting sport in the world

No, normal street between woods and sea. Perfect for those weekend race drivers to test their high speed "skills". I felt sorry for the guy who died when I saw all the different colours of blood coming out of his head and lung, even helped in emergency until ambulance came... But not anymore. I am just sick of them.

Re: Re:

how the general classification would have looked like for the fab 4 if Nibali and Quintana hadn't lost that minute and a half on stage 2...

Froome 0:00
Nibali +10 secs
Quintana +28 secs
Contador +36 secs

And this is what the general classification would look like for the big 4 if Froome had done the ITT one minute faster:

Froome 0:00
Contador + 1 min 36 secs
Nibali + 2 mins 38 secs
Quintana +2 mins 56 secs

This is what the big 4 would look like if it was 2010:

Contador 0:00
Nibali: +2m
Froome: +1hr10m
Quintana (not born yet)

Nibali 0:00
Froome +1hr10m
Quintana (not born yet)
Contador DQ

Your maths is off.

Any more doping talk in the PRR and I start deleting posts.

Something like NBA or MLB where the teams and their staff fly accross the North American continent several times a week and theres hundreds of games in the season. And then in the playoffs you can add the presspack to the equation and they go coast to coast to coast as one team hosts one game, then the other team hosts the other, then back again.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Two wrongs dont make a right Hitch. Btw, I live in Germany, not "gods own country"... No one needs moto racers. Cyclists otoh are quiet, enjoy the trees and landscape, and give a good view when they ride along our street.

 

[reshp1]

So is Saxo going to start making the race hard and drop some sprinters for Sagan before the intermediate sprint or are we going to slow spin all the way in to 15k?

 

[sir fly]

Sagan saving himself for the finish?

Re:

Must be

 

[sir fly]

This is interesting.

 

[Happy dude]

Sprinter breakaway!

 

[Andro]

Pretty interesting situation now. The sprint trains that rode away for the intermediate are now apparently trying to stay away.

17 man group. Rolland is there.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Boom and Kwiat there

 

[Irondan]

Sagan yellow if it sticks

 

[Rollthedice]

An interesting group up the road. Sagan, Greipel, Kwia, Boom and others.
