Re:

Just leave it all out there. No strategy, other than to do as much work as they are able to. Be part of something great, even if it makes it hard to win.

 

[Sciatic]

If the chasing group catches Sagan's group, Phinney will attack and the favs will have to decide who is willing to chase.

I thing they will be satisfied with podium. Its obvious Sagan is waiting in them on cobbles. He will attack in the last sectors

 

[Brullnux]

These cobbles are awful for only two stars

I wish I can hear Bonnen commenting this race now.

I don't think there's any way they can win by attacking - no way they have the legs for that. I think the only way would be to completely stop working at some point and hope to beat a tired Sagan in the sprint.

 

[spalco]

At this point even if Terpstra can catch up to Sagan, how can he drop him before the velodrome?

As it stands, they podium, which is huge. Attacks in the last 2k ftw seems to be the option. Still, it's looking good for Sagan now.

Do either of Satan's companions have noteworthy sprint prowess?

I've heard Mephistopheles and Faust are pretty quick over 100m

Haha quality

Sagan would attack them, he's riding smart for once

 

[Velolover2]

Bike problems for Sagan? Lool. Always unlucky.

 

[More Strides than Rides]

Terpstra took 10-15 seconds out of the gap in the 500m stretch

 

[Bot. Sky_Bot]

WTF is he doing?

Re:

Handclocked? Because that GPS is all over the place.

 

[trucido]

Bet the regular coloured bike wouldn't have such a problem.

Re:

Problem is, he seems the only one able to keep that pace.

GPS. From 55-60" range to 45"ish range. Big enough change to not be noise.

 

[Roude Leiw]

Those slow motion pictures look really great

 

[jaylew]

Nice to see Phinney again. It's been awhile

 

[Sestriere]

Dillier has beaten Stuyven in a sprint last year in the Giro..

 

[Valv.Piti]

Sagan is great today. Where has this shape been the whole season?

 

[red_flanders]

He’s got to consider the need to wear these two out pretty soon.

 

[Bardamu]

Terpstra and Vanmarcke will try to make the jump in the coming sectors.

The French love doing that. They can't get enough of it at Roland Garros either
