Etoile de Besseges 2.1 5.2 - 9.2

[Dazed and Confused]

Gallopin not good enough, 5th on stage. The Swede still leads stage and GC.
Could be a nice big win for him.

Arthur Vichot (FDJ.fr) en 15'52''

Not enough to beat Ludvigsson GC wise.

DEGENKOLB John GER GIANT - SHIMANO 15:58

From my limited math capability, this is still not enough to beat the Swede.

Solid ride by Benoit Jarrier 16'13''

Yeah baby! Young Ludvigsson takes the stage and GC.

Future of swedish cycling!

Coppel lives.

Pretty impressive ride from Degenkolb considering that climb to the finish.

2. Jérôme Coppel (Cofidis) à 4"

3. John Degenkolb (Giant-Shimano) à 5"

Legendary Giant domination all over the place.

Legendary Giant domination all over the place.

2 riders in top ten is domination?

 

[jens_attacks]

seems like even shimano decided that they don't want to be dropped on the first hill no more and put it on a higher gear. the arms race goes universal

500 watts. can't wait for le tour.
froome will need pantani speed to go away. sounds like fun !

 

[Pentacycle]

6.65W/kg is quite impressive for a 15 minutes TT, but I'm afraid it won't win le Tour.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

jens_attacks, don't forget Shimano already had Tom Dumoulin, Warren Barguil etc last year so they didn't get dropped easily on hills anymore

2 riders in top ten is domination?

If it were Colombians it would've been!

 

[coimbrawu]

So what about Coquard's future? He beats Bouhanni and Degenkolb in the race. Considering his weight (about 63kg? He was 58kg in London 2012 and should increase some kilos two years later), he is really fast!

he is still 58 kg/s that's why he's so good in climbs
