Kelderman in the Tour?

 

[Earns1985]

Early crash… Kruijswijk, Cras and Combaud have abandoned. Classic Kruijswijk

PCS writes that also Rodriguez was in that crash. Hopefully he is at least fine, it´s his first race since his last injury..

Kelderman one step closer to going to the Tour now.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Kelderman in the Tour?

Kelderman will have to survive 9 days in le Suiisse to make le tour. Maybe they are forced to draft in Roglic or Valter

Kelderman in the Tour?

By this rate Roglic will have to ride the Tour.

 

[Rackham]

By this rate Roglic will have to ride the Tour.

It was always possible. 4 weeks is a long, long time in modern pro cycling considering the attrition rate.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

By this rate Roglic will have to ride the Tour.

Or they'll have to draft in Gloag less than 24 hours before the race again.

 

[Netserk]

Early crash… Kruijswijk, Cras and Combaud have abandoned. Classic Kruijswijk

Only Benoot and Valter left for Jumbo come the mountains.

 

[Samamba]

strong break again. Not sure who's going to control this one.

Visma seem to be running low on climbers, luckily their new signing is in great shape and seems to be really keen on doing the tour.

They still have kelderman an vallter. To me, it's a bit strange Kruijswijk instead of kelderman in the tour. Kelderman can give more guarantees to Vingegaard than Kruijswijk.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Campenaerts must've seen Healy's hood position at the Giro and decided to go even more extreme. I don't know what's stranger out of this and Herregodts looking like he was riding a track bike yesterday.

I believe Campanaerts was the pioneer of aero positions.

Campenaerts has been riding like this for years. Herregodts even said he's the reason he and a lot of other riders are doing it.

Kelderman is guaranteed to do one thing alright.

Oh absolutely, he's always been an aero obsessive. I was just joking about the fact that Healy seems to have gone even further with his hood position recently.

 

[Samamba]

Who's riding so hard in the peloton. Gap went down to 55 seconds.

Interesting, I would've expected them to not care that much honestly. Laporte got his stage, and it isn't easy to control a strong break on this parcours. But looks like QS is helping for Vernon. Probably the only sprinter who can survive that final maybe.

I also think their tactics make very little sense (especially after Kruijswijk's DNF), but if it works for them & they get another stage... it is what it is.

 

[Valv.Piti]

This is a preparation race. Tomorrow is a flat day, and then you have a TT. Van Baarle probably even wants to sit on the front and get some good grunt work in before le Tour.
