Yeah, Kwito, Moscon and Thomas will dominate this race I think.Alexandre B. said:This will be a long week for non-Sky sympathetics. Again.
Well it was Kwiatkowski birthday yesterday.Eyeballs Out said:For Kwiatkowski, Thomas is the gift that keeps on giving
I felt it coming too.Cance > TheRest said:It's funny (not that Thomas crashed). I was just thinking of Thomas crashing, right before it happened, because he looked like he was taking the curves way too agressively
What about Tao? He's going well too. It's also a sign ahead of the TTT that Thomas' time was one second off the worst time for Sky, and it was still a decent time.Valv.Piti said:Yeah, Kwito, Moscon and Thomas will dominate this race I think.Alexandre B. said:This will be a long week for non-Sky sympathetics.

Well he only lost two more seconds in the last part, so I'd say he's still going well for now.yaco said:Thomas' crash could have repercussions for Sky's GC ambitions if he doesn't recover from injuries - Sky may lose some of their advantage in the TTT and Thomas may not be in form for the testing last four stages - This parcour is too difficult for Kwiatkovski.
Yeah but he was still on an adrelline rush.

Yeah, maybe, but remember last year's Giro? Great in the TT after the fall, but injuries aren't so simple and so he retired.Vasilis said:Well he only lost two more seconds in the last part, so I'd say he's still going well for now.yaco said:Thomas' crash could have repercussions for Sky's GC ambitions if he doesn't recover from injuries - Sky may lose some of their advantage in the TTT and Thomas may not be in form for the testing last four stages - This parcour is too difficult for Kwiatkovski.
I agree, but that's why I said "for now".Valv.Piti said:Yeah, maybe, but remember last year's Giro?

I hope he recovers.
