Do you think Jumbo need Van Aert so much in his duties? Will he be Luke Rowe or 2012 EBH for them this year? Drilling flats and early climbs?

This will be Martin.

 

[Earns1985]

This will be Martin.

First one who will lead the peleton will be Martin. No.2 will be van Aert.

Off topic: can you say "I'm underway" in English, intended meaning: I'm on my way?

Break of eight riders have 2.20 over the peloton: 42 ARMIRAIL Bruno, 52 ASGREEN Kasper, 127 SÜTTERLIN Jasha, 146 O'CONNOR Ben, 194 COUSIN Jérôme, 197 SOUPE Geoffrey, 206 SCHÄR Michael, 214 DOUBEY Fabien

Is Schär looking for a new contract?

 

[RedheadDane]

Hopefully the others in the break will fare a bit better than Schär's breakaway companions yesterday did...

Haha, hopefully. Otherwise he's going to have a bad reputation soon...
Yeah, I think he's looking for a new team...

Off topic: can you say "I'm underway" in English, intended meaning: I'm on my way?

I'm not a native speaker but i feel it sounds weird. 'Something' can be underway, 'someone' i don't think so.

Off topic: can you say "I'm underway" in English, intended meaning: I'm on my way?

Aren't you a native speaker? I think in certain cases it could be used, but i feel there is a slightly different connotation. Being on your way has a sense of purpose to it, which i find absent in being underway?

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

When you're underway, you are moving:

Adverb
underway (comparative more underway, superlative most underway)
1. in motion, in progress; being done or carried out; on a journey.

Adverb
underway (comparative more underway, superlative most underway)
1. in motion, in progress; being done or carried out; on a journey.

Doesn't have to signify movement, it can be used for any action in progress, such as "the food is underway" (being prepared)

First one who will lead the peleton will be Martin. No.2 will be van Aert.

It will depend on multiple factors. I actually think it will not happen very often.

I imagine on stages without very big mountains but sophisticated finishes they'll try to keep Van Aert fresh for the final and use some of their weaker climbers earlier instead. Hell, even on pancake flat stages it makes sense to keep Van Aert fresh because his work will be more valuable when the pace rises in the final kilometers.

I wouldn't be surprised if he turns out to be climbing better than Kuss or Gesink early in the race and then he will not even be no.2 to lead the peloton on the hardest stages.

When are we going to start complaining about the JV Choo Choo train? It will be only a matter of time.. Ridiculous how dominant they are. Whole team on the front all day

 

[Jagartrott]

Maybe rewatch Dauphiné as well, winning bunch sprints and literally killing Dumoulin and the rest in the TT.

Lies. He would be in prison now.

I have seen Dumoulin be very much alive!

It's sort of like when the world became Stalin fanboys when it became apparent that he was the only one who could stop Hitler

I did consider to write "well, not literally literally" in a bracket.

 

[Carols]

Wout pulling the bunch wearing Yellow. Talk about a Super domo!

Interesting discussion about Jumbo's kit and how it might clash with the yellow in the Tour. A few years ago they did change their kit a bit, but honestly Roglic's kit looks way too much like the yellow jersey. Higuita too, to a lesser extent.

It will be quite bizarre if Bernal and Roglic are going at it both wearing yellow.
