Re: 2016 TdF, Stage 2: Saint-Lô → Cherbourg-en-Cotentin (183

Lol, commentators so bad they thought time gap was 1 minute until he got caught

I thought so too. The tv never indicated at all where Cavendish is, until just moments before Stuyvens was caught.

There's always something about Porte.

Damn, Contador is done .

Can see Bertie calling it a day tonight.

What a finish. Alaphillipe looks gutted he got pipped by PS.

 

[saganftw]

45 seconds. That's a gap, but he's not out of contention.

 

[Irondan]

Oh Bertie! At least he's still riding... :sad:

 

[DFA123]

Alaphilippe comfortably outsprinting Valverde. Has the baton passed?

Damn, Contador is done .

 

[CheckMyPecs]

So who wins the Tour, Froome or Quintana?

 

[trevim]

Contador had blood in his shoulder? Is that from yesterday?

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Happy for Peter, but too bad the crashes has now cost Alberto almost a minute :/

Also gutted for Jasper - that was soooo close . .

 

[Irondan]

Allaphillipe is an animal!

What a dramatic finish! poor Stuyven. Sagan beating the two Balas. Game over for Alberto...

Re:

One has done the classics and the Giro, the other has not.
It's unbelievable that Valverde managed a top 3.

 

[Punkan]

Peter the Great! What a rider.

Dunno what your'e watching, but Cavendish was clearly dropped a while before. Furthermore, why on earth would you believe that the time suddenly went up significantly to the speeding peleton up hill?

Re:

I thought so to. But it must be from today, since yesterday he crashed on the other side.

 

[vedrafjord]

BMC should hang their head in shame, for multiple reasons.

 

[Flamin]

Sagan _O_

If only Stuyven had one other decent rider with him...

Sure, I'm not having a go at Valverde, but Alaphilippe's sprinting is on a different level now I think. Stage wasn't hard enough for Bala - Sagan was still too fresh.

 

[SeriousSam]

Great victory for Sagan. Should be the Tinkof leader going forward, Contador is done.

 

[Irondan]

Wow, the overhead shot really shows how Sagan toyed with Allaphillipe. Chapau

 

[Beech Mtn]

Now's the time for Alberto to either abandon and go to the Vuelta instead, or say in an interview that he wants his whole team to support Peter 100%
