Re: 2016 Tour de France, Stage 18: Sallanches → Megève (17km
Coppel will not even finish in the top 20. He's in awful shape.The Barb said:

4th in the first time trial just 6 days ago doesn't seem "awful".

Re:
I don't see a problem with that.
As there are posters complaining about the BS that gets posted about him by Contador fans and who like to provide them numbers data and evidence to shake them from their delusional beliefs.
Wish he was in the Tour as well. Would have been much more entertaining for sure.

Make all the jokes you want mate! We all know the truth
When was the last time the last week of a tour was good? Oh yea tour 2011; why was that heh mate? Who made sure andy lost a lot of time at which he was forced to go hard? And who went crazy the next stage?
Contador is the most entertaining rider of this century, together with nibali. Him not being here while there was a chance he was in topshape is a great miss. Make more jokes about it, being in denial is good

36' 47' first time for Bennet. I doubt the principal GC players will be seperated by more than a minute on such a short TT.
Re:
Agreed- the gaps will between the GC guide will be between 0-1minute in my view. Someone needs to be on a really bad day to lose more than 1 minute.

I'll give it a go:
1. Porte
2. Froome +2"
3. Yates +21"
4. Dumoulin +32"
5. Valverde +34"
6. Quintana +48"
7. Mollema +1'02"
8. Kreuziger +1'17'
9. Bardet +1'26"
10. Aru +1'28"
I think there will be 1 or 2 more non-GC guys in the top10 (leaving at least Bardet and Aru around 11-12th place actually) but I can't make my mind up about who can it be. Possibly Izagirre. Maybe Oliveira, Nibali, Kelderman, Thomas but I have a question mark about everyone. It's going to be a surprise and you can't expect a surprise, otherwise it isn't surprise. :surprised:

Re: Re:
It's true that if Contador were here in good shape in which he seemed to be we would have seen a lot better TdF, but he isn't there so it's kind of pointless.
A good Quintana would've been a challenger as well, but he's rubbish. Most likely because of the windy stages.

What is the time cut-off on this stage? Bernie Eisel is 5 minutes down at the moment and the winner's time will be a fair bit quicker than the current leader.

What's the wind like? Gougeard is much faster than I would expect to the first and second checks, but slowed to a crawl on the false flat section

This should be a new classification!

Gougeard's time is starting to look half-decent, nobody has come close yet. On the other hand Kittel only lost 2 minutes on him, which is weird.
