This race has been quite fun to watch, being Danish! 
The Tour favourite seems to change by the hour.Vingegaard now the favourite for the Tour.
Yeah doing that now. I usually watch the cobbles as first preference but after yesterday thought I'd give the hilly race a go.You can watch this, and then swap to Kuurne afterwards. Nice of the two races to not be finishing at the same time.
And of course there's also Hagelandt (look in the Women's race thread for a link to the stream).
Vaughters already told usVingegaard now the favourite for the Tour.
If he drops Pogi in Tirreno–Adriatico, I will start to believeVingegaard now the favourite for the Tour.
Looked like cramp.Strong performances by Vingegaard and Ayuso, great breakaway. Congrats to the Dane on his victory, tough luck for Ayuso, who got weaker at the end. Surprisingly Ala was dropped at the end.
I just tend to focus on the race that's closest to the finish.Yeah doing that now. I usually watch the cobbles as first preference but after yesterday thought I'd give the hilly race a go.
We will see, it could be interesting with also Remco here. Jonas & Primoz look like a dream duo to try to topple Pog at the Tour (if not them then who?)It'll be interesting to watch Jonas vs Pogi in T-A.
They really do. Both great climbers, time trialists, very good on hilly terrain, explosive... they can do it all. Just like Pogi, who is just a bit better at all (or some) of those things. It'll be a great Tour hopefully.We will see, it could be interesting with also Remco here. Jonas & Primoz look like a dream duo to try to topple Pog at the Tour (if not them then who?)
Also, Jonas is still early in his career--likely to continue improvement in the coming years.They really do.

He was actually very close to make the split when Alaphilippe attacked with Martin and Cosnefroy.Girmay being 6th here should certainly silence those who say he is only a sprinter.

To be fair, he has been climbing very poorly this year. This is really his first good climbing performance.Girmay being 6th here should certainly silence those who say he is only a sprinter.
His win in Majorca was at least partially down to getting over Batalla in the front, whilst a lot of the other sprinters didn't make it.To be fair, he has been climbing very poorly this year. This is really his first good climbing performance.
I certainly wasn't among those claiming that, but i agree with Hugo Koblet that i expected him to climb even better than he has been doing so far. Always figured him to be more of a Sagan type than a pure sprinter.Girmay being 6th here should certainly silence those who say he is only a sprinter.
