Re:

This TTT doesn't even favour Sky as it's probably too flat. If they're already going to ride minutes into half the field right here, I have no idea what kind of carnage they'll do in the Tour..

This is why the smaller team size isn't a huge impact to them. It actually might help since they'll be stronger throughout the race and other teams won't have ability to match up if they have any trouble.

 

[Breh]

No way they'll put a minute into a team with Porte, TVG, GVA, Kung, Schar, De Marchi,...

This is just Messi and Ronaldo playing some sunday league football and the course suits them perfectly.

 

[GraftPunk]

Good run by BMC

 

[Breh]

Impressive stuff from the Belgian Lottery.

 

[woodburn]

Powless finish with Lotto's group?

The team with Moscon, Kwiatkowski, Van Baarle and Castroviejo in it can smash any course. It's only matter of good day and smooth team work.

team time trials are a cancer

 

[Samamba]

Ridiculous.

 

[Bot. Sky_Bot]

Excellent!

 

[Jagartrott]

The Empire and their stormtroopers. I hope Roubaix stage delivers, otherwise it's going to be a very, very long Tour.

 

[Alexandre B.]

I guess Thomas, Kwiatkowski and Moscon will also be among the eight best climbers in the race, right?

Kwiatek, Moscon, Rowe, Baarle , Thomas and Froome ride away from peleton?

Considering form he is coming from, Tao should make it 4 out of 8. Only Moscon will be questionable cause they might use him to chase earlier

 

[Arked]

I don't know about Moscon but Kwiatkowski and Thomas can very well be there with the best. Why not? I would even expect it from them.

Sky wreaking carnage and destruction . . . like medieval berserkers sparing nothing and no one in their path . . . homes burning, limbs lopped off, crushed opposing forces and more -- women, children, farm animals. All annihilated with extreme prejudice.

[wouterkaas]

Sky top 4 now

 

[alspacka]

I still doubt sky will dominate a race with 4 consecutive MTFs without Froome & Bernal.

 

[silvergrenade]

Pretty cool to see Team Sky do well in a TTT for once.

 

[Salvarani]

So boring

 

[sir fly]

Thought it would be tighter at the finish, but Sky just got faster and faster.
They look good for the overall, too, considering their GC choice won't be thinking about July the way other leaders will.

 

[Robert5091]

Well... that gives an idea of what will happen at TdF (and that's without Dawg)

Beware Geraint Thomas the mountain goat.
