2019 Tour de France, stage 1: Bruxelles > Brussel, 194,5 km

[Simurgh]

Cobbles and crosswind action?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Peloton in 3 parts, but it will come back together, there is not enough wind

 

[barmaher]

Surely it will come back together, but it would be great if it didn't.

 

[Laplaz]

Dan Martin far back

 

[Poursuivant]

D Martin well back

Re:

Why is Bora pushing hard? Just Testing If gaps might Open Up?

Intermediate sprint coming up and put a few others on to the back foot so they can’t contest it.

Choo choo, here come the Asgreen/Lampart train

Odd all the DQ riders rode back to the peloton without Viviani

Miquided ....Vivani can win more stages while Mas GC ????

DQ having lots of mechanical

So I see Mas had to make a bike change. Was he walking a bit gingerly? Didn't crash, did he?

Mas' GC would be destroyed if the front group went home alone, Viviani will have plenty of opportunities.

:lol:

The mere mention of echelons cracks me up, well done they're so rare these days.

Maybe the boys are just practicing for tomorrow's TTT?

Nice to see so many people waiting on the road everywhere on the stage. Belgium's support for cycling is really impressive.

Nothing, it's a sprint stage after all. For Wiggo, Nibali is the classiest rider in the world.

 

[KZD]

Groenewegen is my bet for today

Mas' GC would be destroyed if the front group went home alone, Viviani will have plenty of opportunities.

The point still stands ...Yellow and a stage for Vivani will be worth more than a anything MAS can do
Plus Mas would not be destroyed by staying by himself in front goroup
