Should Politt work? On the one hand, his contribution could put him well up the road. On the other hand, Gilbert has plenty of incentive to work and therefore give Politt a free ride.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Gotta love Soler!

Great racing right now! Go Oli and Wout.

Drucker sent up to be an anchor on the Gilbert group. Good to see BMC be a little proactive...

 

[DFA123]

Burghardt looking strong today, I wonder if he'll be give a free role.

 

[Saint Unix]

Gilby caught.

 

[Flamin]

Styby!!!

 

[noviceaussie]

And Stybar gone!

 

[Bot. Sky_Bot]

Stybar ..

QS bad tactics today.. already wasting two leaders.

 

[Velolover2]

Stybar attacks.

Making Sagan and GVA use their doms and so tired that they can't follow Terpstra when he launch his final attack.

 

[DFA123]

Nice move from Gilbert. He's forced several domestiques to put in big digs, largely by riding on the back of an attack by Teunisen. While his team-mates got a free ride for 20km.

YEah, they must trust terpstra a lot.

 

[Bot. Sky_Bot]

And finally would be.. Terpstra

 

[PremierAndrew]

Gilbert didnt make a big effort in that break, he probably used up less energy than the likes of GVA when he was catching up earlier in the race

Re:

I think Terpstra is the main leader today.

 

[Der Effe]

Expected a lot from Démare, but boy he is bad today.

 

[Gigs_98]

I have the feeling this break could have been more successful but Gilbert wasn't 100% committed. He probably knew that move was the correct thing to do for the team but it hurt his own chance of winning

Re:

They're doing it because they can. They still have more potential winners left than all the other teams.

Yep, no way that was an all-in attack by Gilbert. He didn't even take a turn to establish the original gap.

Re:

Yeah right

 

[Frankschleck]

So we all agree. right? Lars Bak is the favorite now.

 

[therhodeo]

Gilbert will be fine just sitting in now

GVA was doing nothing except having lunch when he was behind before
