EF going strong as expected.

Funny that E'sport was saying about how open the race is yesterday - good ride by FDJ though.

Quickstep looked really in control, looking really good for them I think, but generally it seems like this will be really close.

Re: Re:

So, did Ineos do this on purpose? The wind may play in their favour a little bit - but they have no time splits to compare to. Ineos favourites according to the bookies, but I'd say Jumbo and DQS.

Also, I don't get why Michelton is considered 3rd favourite. They have both Yates' and Haig, that three guys that are of little use in a TTT. It's all about Watts and big guys, guys that weigh 55-65 kg are just not helping the rest.

Maybe because they destroyed the opposition in Tirreno-Adriatico with Adam the day before Simon Yates won a flat TT in Paris-Nice.

Just maybe.

Perhaps next time you can formulate your posts in a less patronizing manner. I was right. The Yates' were luggage.

Morkov already gone from QS train before 1st time check.

Re:

Tour is Over ?

Yes unfortunately, the only thing that hasn't been decided is Geraint or Bernal.

Nibali looks strong. Good TTT by TBM

Stop that thinking before it disappoints you

 

[bambino]

This is either EF or Ineos for the win.

Edit. Not EF...

They've lost 2 guys in first 15km though. That does not help.

Groenewegen´s Tour already over?

 

[jaylew]

Jumbo might just spare us Moscon being in yellow.

 

[Carols]

Come On Jumbo!!!

 

[glassmoon]

LOL

Re: Re:

Pinot did better.

Yes, you wouldn't really expect that by looking at their riders. Perhaps Caruso and Mohoric crashing yesterday slowed them down a bit.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Jumbo-Visma will prevent the bully Moscon tu take yellow, I hope.

 

[jaylew]

Damn. Please do this, Jumbo.

 

[glassmoon]

Jumbo to save the day.

Praying for Jumbo, the last hope.
