Re: Re:

Nikias Arndt will be the last leadout man for Bol btw. That's what the team said at least (Kragh - Matthews - Arndt - Bol is the order they want to go for)

It will be interesting to see how Bol does. He has probably been the most successful “minor” or “up and coming” sprinter recently, so he deserves a shot against the big boys. It’s not as if Matthews has a chance in a real bunch sprint.

definitely. Bahrain may also go for Cortina instead of Colbrelli by the way (to whom applies the same, basically)

Colbrelli is sprinting really really well in that Tour. Doubt Cortina could have done the same.

Quintana crashed - Porte down too

Re:

Also Terpstra...Niki's season has been pretty ***.

 

[Finn84]

Doesn't look good for Terpstra.

Why are we no longer seeing attacks from the peloton on the final 2-3 kilometers? In the 1990's, the flat stages always had a potential element of entertainment with guys like Ekimov and Skibby trying to surprise the bunch. Now, it's mainly the danger of crashes that makes things "interesting".

 

[Simurgh]

Landa with Nairo too I think

 

[ppanther92]

Didn't seem too bad though (apart from Terpstra, where it looks like a fractured collarbone).

Guessing DD is not riding for Nizzolo today

 

[spalco]

***'s sake, now Quintana too?

Re:

Already back, quick on the bike and with no visible wound. Could have been worse.

Re:

Team's not with Quintana, that's telling how cohesive is Movistar

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Trek has had a bad couple of stages......

 

[Finn84]

Terpstra abandons.

Re:

After Porte has come through stage 9, the race is telling him to gtfo

 

[Broccolidwarf]

When Asgreen renews his contract, it should be based on number of kilometers spent at the front of the peloton

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Break rider: "Who is pulling the peloton?"
DS: "Asgreen, De Gent & Martin"
Break rider: "FML"

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Astana has finally learned the lesson - about damn time - now they need to show they can sustain it till 3 k, like Ineos will - Houle has his work cut out for him

They'll probably be all over the place within 5 km's.

 

[glassmoon]

CCC guy lol

 

[Finn84]

Talking about flat stage finishes, is Cancellara (2007) the most recent rider who won like explained?

 

[Danskebjerge]

Another push!

 

[hammerthaim]

Underhand for sure.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

De Gendt is the new De Gendt?

Just saying

Re:

Whats up with this this tour?
First Landa's tour ruined, now Ewans stage probably ruined.
