Re: Re:

How big Sagan's fan is Tinkov?
Has Sagan signed for someone, yet?

Nothing official, most likely Bora.

I'm afraid they're low on budget if don't find a co-sponsor.

Re:

Why are half of the posts in this stage thread about someone who's not even taking part?

Have you noticed which thread has easily the most posts in the professional road racing cycling forum?

We're obsessed with the guy

Oh, and since nobody is challenging Chris Froome in the actual race, and some of us want to believe that he can/could be challenged, we therefore speculate about what might have been with a rider who has won all of the grand tours multiple times, and who is particularly strong in mountainous time trials.

Coefficient 7
(An individual time trial stage of quite a unique type)
At Megève, a time delay will be set based on the
fastest time plus 33% of that time.

I saw some drops on the camera but it looks like it already stopped.

What setup will ride Froome?
A tt or road with tri-bars?
And Dumoulin?

 

[Arredondo]

Dawg, watch out for that corner! Watch out!

 

[sir fly]

The corner is really knocking times off.

 

[Red Rick]

Dumoulin will ride the TT bike, open wheels, 39x28 as smalles gear

Re:

He'll be fine. Zakarin will crash for sure.

Coppel goes fastest by 23 seconds over Sicard.

Thanks. That means the current cut-off time is about 42'31".

We already have the lowest time.

He will win the ITT nonetheless

Withdrawals Stage 17:
DNS: CAVENDISH, Mark (Team Dimension Data) - Olympics
DNS: DENNIS, Rohan (BMC Racing Team) - Olympics
DNF: IZAGIRRE, Gorka (Movistar Team) - crash
DNF: BOŽIČ, Borut (Cofidis, Solutions Crédits) - two crashes

Cancellara for the Olympics too I believe

 

[sir fly]

Movi targeting the teams' classification?

 

[Red Rick]

How about we don't play a crash prediction game. Previous posts were deleted, as will new ones

 

[sir fly]

Bakelants is a decent target for Dumoulin, while his scout's up the road.

 

[sir fly]

Really nice top 10 for pursuit.

 

[CheckMyPecs]

Izagirre new best time!

 

[sir fly]

Quintana will do good today.

 

[RattaKuningas]

How is it possible that only one camera is working in event like TdF. Hopefully organisers will fix it.

These gonks on the climb with signs for the TV, complete cretins.
