2019 Tour de France, stage 2: Bruxelles - Brussel 27,6 km TT

[TourOfSardinia]

No that was Wout Poels:
Moscon was well surprised when the guy from the RAI told him if Ineos win today
he'll be in yellow.

Was Moscon dropped just before the finish?

It was Kwiatkowski I think, unless Moscon was dropped earlier

Yeah, Kwia did a big turn and then dropped back

Think he dropped before Poels.

FDJ looking good.

Re: Re:

Ineos will shoot off all our marks (mostly mine), but we'll see about the rest of the teams.

Mostly yours I think, because the organizers thought they could possibly beat 58 km/h this TTT. Is not going to happen. Couple of hilly bits that really hurt + some headwind in the second part.

Still inside percents of 55 though, and it's not the average score of all teams.

The Danish commentators will also be surprised as they declared Bernal the virtual yellow...

How hard is it to read the rules?

 

[Hayabusa]

Arkea came across the line with only 4.

 

[Poursuivant]

Astana 19” down at second check

 

[Laplaz]

FDJ gained time, from 8 seconds to 7

 

[Rollthedice]

Don't think Ineos will be even close to winning.

 

[Poursuivant]

Fdj still only 7” down, good day for Pinot

This is superb

Astana only 20 seconds down on Ineos at the finish. A bit surprising -- good for Fuglsang.

 

[Rollthedice]

Movistar bad at first checkpoint, AG2R level.

 

[Escarabajo]

Movistar bad at half point.
Maybe a bad selection for the TTT.

I'm getting that impression as well..

Re:

I agree looking at the teams behind them and the times we are seeing so far 5/6th place might be about right

 

[Rollthedice]

One FdJ down in the end, 10 sec worse than Ineos. Good result.

 

[Hayabusa]

Ouch. Hope the FDJ rider is okay

 

[Salvarani]

If Movistar can keep this under 40 seconds. I would say it is okay.

 

[KZD]

What a great time for Groupama.

Great performance by FDJ. I guess someone will beat Ineo if FDJ comes this close, or did I completely underestimate them

Pinot only loses 11 seconds to the Evil Empire at the finish!
