Re: Re:

Stannard leading the peloton for the Yates bros.

The race is still young but aren't Italy supposed to be the ones who lead the chase? I have not seen them all day.

Why Italy? They don't have a big favorite, Nibali is not in top form, and Moscon is hardly a big favorite. France, Spain, UK should be at the front...

And Colombia. Unless their plan is to attack the final climb en masse.

Looks like no coverage in the UK till 1445 now, due to women's football?

It's on the red button - has been all day.

No, it was on the red button until 12:20, and will be on BBC2 later, but now only online or BBC app on Connected TV

Rohan Dennis is dropped. The race is on.

Slovenia of all teams putting on the hurt now. Gap going down very quickly

Dennis dropped. What idiot didn't select Matthews?

Just what I thought when Dennis was dropping.

 

[Climbing]

Yeah that is a serious pace.

It's over for Sagan.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Sagan never really bothered on a route like this, so I don't see the surprise

 

[GuyIncognito]

I eargerly await 10 thousand more deluded posts saying he could totally win Liege if he wanted to

 

[BlackWhiteEagle]

Well that was predictable, but nevertheless it`s gonna be strange to see the rainbow jersey on anyone else than Sagan.

 

[Rollthedice]

Sagan should climb off and start doing selfies and autographs with the crowd.

 

[Poursuivant]

Pace getting tough now...

 

[sir fly]

Seems that Sagan suffered from the Tour much longer than expected.

 

[Climbing]

Group is looking very thin...

Or seeing Sagan in a trade team jersey.

He's national champion.

He's Slovakian champion

It's nothing to do with the Tour.
Short climbs above threshold require a very different skillset to long climbs at threshold
