Re: Re:
Only the last one can be considered really hard. It will all depend how they are ridden and how much advantage he got after stage 5.. As he said - day to day and then he and team will see.Arked said:

Re:
A typical flat stage in Poland. First, an escape and then Sagan wins (since Marcel is not here).
I don't hear the Slovak accent very often (I'm more used to Czechs and Ukranians - and my own ).
Slovak is, I think, the most similar to Polish. I think I did understand what Sagan said, but it took a couple of listens.
I guess he mixed up "otoczenie" - surroundings with "okrążenie" - lap.
Tomorrow is a very fast downhill sprint. He seemed to be joking about where he'll come: "fourth or fifth, at least better than in 2011", when he finished 11th in Katowice.
Against this field, he is the clear favourite.

Re: Re:
The thing is that they probably also think its too hard for him but if there is a little chance its not then Sagan will win so if its 85% chance that the route is too hard for him its still 15% chance its not too hard (or will be ridden slow enough that he can be there) then Sagan would almost surely win the overall in that case and is therefore still the number one favourite, despite him most likely ending well back.

I believe that in the case of equal time, no fractions from time trials, and equal accumulated positions, the next criterion is most recent higher place, so Ewan would start stage 3 in yellow.

Re: Re:
Fair enough. In an event with no time trials (in which case hundreths of a second are taken into account), the tie-breaker is always the total number of stage placings. If that is also a tie, the most recent stage placing will decide.

Re:
6 man teams back in 2013, and mountains before the flat to make the breaks harmless for GC.
Still no chance.
