2015 (Zeeland) and 2016 (even on way to the Ventoux) had echelons too.

I know, we had 2-3 stages with echelons and the famous stage 11. Stage I started to like Froome.
It looks like that was another great day of racing in Belgium! Shame I missed the stage though. Congrats to Kristoff and Phil looks much better for the overall.

not much turbo I suppose

He just missed the split when echelons happened,Irondan said:

You can clearly see Gilbert enjoying riding at the moment and he does not preserve his strength looking for a real workout whenever he has the opportunity. Today he takes his turns with ease and is most likely on an even better level come Sunday in RVV.

Impossible to close a gap on your own. But the sad thing was, Kittel and a teammate bridged when the gap was still only 100 m - he should've been there but also missed that second chance. Good lesson for him.TourOfSardinia said:He just missed the split when echelons happened,Irondan said:

Re: Re:
Completely right with your post - Though Orica went into the race with only 6 riders and Juul-Jensen DNF stage 1 and Keukeliere DNS stage 2. So Orica had 4 riders - Tough to compete with Etix' 8 riders - Predicted yesterday this may happen.
