Re:

According to Hoffman (Tinkoff DS) the last km is 6%

Thanks, according to Etixx twitter the peloton is splitting up on Mt Hamilton, could be an interesting stage.

Perfect stage for this guy. After what he showed in the Ardennes, he deserves a stage win.

 

[Velolover2]

Cavendish is still in the peloton? They must be riding slow.

 

[Christian]

I think Liggett is pretty proud that he has learned of the existence of Alaphilippe... this is the kind of stuff that makes him an expert

Will Skujins hold on? A lot of downhilling and climbing left, not very much flat.

Don't know. Sky are pulling now and Tinkoff seems confident.

 

[BigMac]

No Tinkoff bothered to come back and help Sagan back into the peloton.

Ruben Guerreiro is good in this sort of finish! (obviously in much lower level races )

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Skujins funny crash

 

[RedheadDane]

Smart place Skujiins choose to crash.

Re:

Skujins puts time on the descent, but I expect him to lose a at least a couple of minutes on the false flat from Smith Creek to Evergreen.

You never know. This terrain between the state park and San José sometimes resembles Alentejo.

Nice to see a technical narrow descent in California for a change

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Skujins will win this. Dont know why Sky is riding so slowly

Quimby Road looks like a nice piece of road!

Don't want to leave themselves short of numbers for the final.

 

[BigMac]

Did Paul just say Skujinš is Swiss? Hope I got that wrong.

Re:

He is going fast but there ar two climb remaining and I think they will chase him.

 

[BigMac]

Now saying it's surprising to see Sagan survive a stage like this? With Cav still in the group? I must be hearing things today.

 

[Banana_Joe]

Skuijins will take this. We will just have to see how much time he can safe....

 

[Velolover2]

I'd be to funny if Skujins managed to win the race overall.

Re:

Would be funny, but well deserved. He was so good in U23 and didn't get a good contract. Hopefully some teams see that they made a misstake.

Re:

He'll be out of the top10 by the end of the week. Great effort nonetheless.

The gap is less that 3 minutes actually...

The gaps on graphics are nothing close to the real ones.
