Re:

Looked like Sagan may have opened up his sprint too early. Nice win for Gaviria. Hodeg looked to have gotten boxed in.

Bennett was their guy today.

Then it makes more sense.

The Cav is dead, long live the Gav.

 

[armchairclimber]

Bummer for Hodge. Matching Gav for pace.

 

[drebelo]

Total mess up from Bora, BAŠKA should just had gone for himself, he was in the perfect position behind sagan.

 

[Keram]

Sagan messed that up perfectly. If it was actual sprint which I doubt it was way too early and if he was supposed to lead out Bennet it was even worse than because he blocked his own sprinter

Are the last 5 already eliminated??

Re:

the time lmiit for stage 1 was 16% (36:49 minutes), so they are all fine

 

[Velolover2]

Can Sagan survive today's stage?

I'd say it's 50/50. The 3 km after the HTF should favor him.

I just saw on Twitter that since he won the first stage of the Tour de San Luis as an un-known track rider in 2015, Gaviria has every year won on his first race day of the year.

That's pretty impressive.

 

[Salvarani]

Sagan should have a pretty good chance at winning the 2nd stage right?

 

[Escarabajo]

Depends on Sagan's form. It might be more for Alla.

That's pretty impressive.

let's settle into "relatively unknown"
Track:
2 gold medals in junior championships
1. gold Omnium world cup
Plus several gold medals in continental and regional games

Road:
- Rode Tour de l'Avenir 2014 and finished second in the point classification
- A couple of gold and silver medals in regional games and continental championships (notably the Panamerican U23 road race where Colombia did 1 to 5 and only 10 riders finished within the time limit)

Yeah, that didn't make much sense. I just wanted to stress that he wasn't very well-known in wider circles (I certainly hadn't heard of him before) at the time.

 

[RedheadDane]

There appears to be a major split in the peloton.
Impressive, considering the fact that the riders haven't even started yet.

The break had a 4m40s lead, about 10 minutes ago.

 

[Velolover2]

Any non-georestricted livestreams? They are getting hard to find.

 

[armchairclimber]

Eurosport have a live feed at the moment.

gap now 3m40s

Tiz-cycling? Or you can try with a free VPN. ProtonVPN is unlimited, but at reduced speed (but i think still fast enough for a low res stream) and another one i sometimes use is Windscribe, it has 10GB free per month.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Gap has been reduced further. It was down to 2m23s with 45k to go.

 

[armchairclimber]

***. Hamish looks a bit of a unit.

 

[Robert5091]

works for me - no commentary though.

Re:

When Evenepoel starts pulling, you know the break is doomed :lol:

 

[Velolover2]

Thanks guys.

Looking forward to a showdown between Sagan and Alaphilippe.
