Will Lotto Soudal be any better than Etixx at managing a lead group with numerical superiority?

Re:

They'll stay clear. Stage win for Kristoff, Bak will win the overall.

Not so sure about Bak, he is working a lot.

They're not likely to close a '43 gap on a group with 3 lotto's and 2 katusha's + devolder. So the winner is in front. Stage win Kristoff. Overall, hard to say, Kristoff is not bad at short ITT's either

As is the norm

2 of them were in the earlier break so can't be too fresh. Kristoff having a teammate is very handy.

 

[BigMac]

They have tailwind, right? Doesn't help the chase at all.

Sure, but he should be able to hang on and he has a decent ITT. Surely Devolder is the favorite for the GC, but I think that Bak might create an upset. Oh and Bak did pick up a few bonus seconds earlier on.

 

[TMP402]

the gap has remained at 40-45 seconds for 10km.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The boys in the chase group are relying too much on "weaker" teams mates.

I'm thinking Kristoff can win the overall if doesn't withdraw. He will probably take the win today and can also pick up bonus seconds tomorrow and the tt is not too long.

After all this years I still don't understand Lampre's tactics. If they have any at all.

Yep.
Especially now that they have options.

 

[DBotero]

Sir at the front,but way too late

 

[Pricey_sky]

Wiggins and Durbo having to work now

 

[TMP402]

At least Wiggins is doing something for a change this season

 

[BigMac]

If they cannot reach the first group, let at least the gap come down a bit more, so the race keeps it's interest,

 

[Jspear]

Kristoff wins!

 

[TMP402]

Boring win for Kristoff.

 

[Pricey_sky]

Kristoff easy, peloton lost 33s

 

[SafeBet]

Untouchable.

 

[Jspear]

the peloton was 3-4 seconds down.

 

[Bushman]

Great ride from Küng.

 

[DBotero]

No challenge for Kristoff.

 

[luckyboy]

Devolder didn't try anything at all?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Nice race, solid win for Kristoff.
