2018 Paris-Nice, 4/3-11/3

Re:

So, actually Cousin was the hero since he didn't ride for a secondary placing.

The thing we all criticise people for doing throughout the season.

So that means legendary Simon Gerrans is actually one of the bravest riders of all-times :lol:

Considering today's stage, I think late attacker will take this. Wellens, Luisle, or some team with the numbers.

 

[Charon]

Remenber stage 7 of the 2015 vulta. Maybe Cousin thought about that when he decided not to help politt.

 

[Jagartrott]

So, finally Alaphilippe today?

 

[Alexandre B.]

The peloton took the wrong route earlier in the stage.

Re:

[Samamba]

Wtf is Teuns doing there.

 

[wirral]

Grellier wins today's stage by wheelsucking.

Edit:

By wheelsucking Politt!

 

[fauniera]

Teuns is only 1 minute back in gc.

 

[Laplaz]

The break won't go far with Teuns in it

 

[wirral]

Teuns got the boot from the break.

 

[Kazistuta]

Barbero, De Gendt or Martens should be the best in this type of finish, should it come to that. I'm pretty sure Alaphilippe has something up his sleeve, though, so Quick-Step will help the chase.

Come on Julian, today is your day!

Re:

I hope he doesn't attack too early. UAE DS said that Martin is trying to go for a stage win today.

 

[fauniera]

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Lulu forced bike change

Break at about 30s

 

[can3478]

Dan Martin suffered a mechanical.

 

[Scarponi]

No one is putting a proper attack in

 

[Samamba]

Alaphilippe finally riding tactically or just not good enough?

 

[infeXio]

Poels baaaad crash :-/

 

[Samamba]

Damn that looks bad...

 

[Scarponi]

Woet Poels crashes. That was huge

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Oh no!

 

[perico]

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Poels being Poels. Ouch.
