Re: Re:

I don't think Sagan will be top 5 by the end of the stage. Movistar, Jumbo, BMC and Etixx will all beat Tinkoff today.

maybe you should watch tinkoff's team, this is not vuelta

Still there are 4-5 teams better for a TTT in this Eneco Tour. But for Sagan the place is not important. Limiting the time loss is all that matters for him today.

Prediction: 1.BMC, 2.Movistar, 3.Lotto-Jumbo.

of course there are 4-5 teams better . but not with 20-25 seconds, at least that's what i hope

Wind must have changed between AG2R and Sky. Last three teams all 30 secs faster as the others

Yes, wow. Must have been a massive change. Just goes to show how some factors are completely unavoidable

 

[PremierAndrew]

And with that TTT goes DD's last chance of remaining in the WT

 

[Billie]

Wind in the first part is getting better and better

They're not even trying. I mean, look at their team here...

Will BMC go under 23minutes?

 

[Netserk]

So far:

Most likely.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Disappointing time by Movistar.

Nope. Great ride by Etixx.

 

[infeXio]

Tinkoff losing a big chunk of time

 

[Billie]

Dennis
Phinney at 16 secs
Terpstra at 21secs
Sagan at 27 secs
Van Emden at 28 secs
GVA at 33 secs

 

[Scarponi]

27 seconds for sagan

 

[Brullnux]

Decent time from Tinkoff. Only 34" down, so Sagan is 27" down. Has a good chance for the win.

 

[Netserk]

Second stage race Sagan will lose this season because of a TTT.

he'll still win. Dennis has no chance surviving geraardsbergen

 

[Vroome.exe]

I really believe etixx would have won it with Boonen.

We'll see.

Biggest danger for Sagan is GVA who can sit on his wheel all day sunday and take those 6 secs on the vesten

Dennis will struggle the more chaotic the race is. I'd say Sagan is the main favourite now, especially with GVA 6seconds behind and no serious threats ahead of him

Re:

In a 1-2 scenario he would have to gap him by 2''. Could happen, but more likely not to.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Four BMC and four Etixx guys in the GC top-10 after five stages seem ridiculous.

Imagine the war on this forum pro Sagan vs pro GVA if it happens and in the end GVA takes the GC win
