Re: Re:

Is Polanc with the first group of chasers though?

No he is not.

Proof?

Here is the list of chasers on teh Cycling News feed

De Plus, Devenyns, Busato, Sutherland, Van Garderen, Van Rensburg, Rui Costa, Conti.

There is more than one grup of chasers; he is in third, but still has more than 12 minutes on GC
guys

Does anyone know how the supply chain for this info works? If somehow this comes from the race organisation they might be trolling as they do with the GPS

And depend where Polanc really is because graphic is not showing him in first group but would be moronic from DDD having everyone in first group but Polanc

 

[SafeBet]

Polanc is in a group some 20 seconds behind, so he's virtual pink anyway,
Etixx working to protect Jungels white jersey.

I'm 100% sure that the UAE guys in the first chasing group were number 201 and 209, while Polanc is 209

 

[Ikbengodniet]

Polanc back again but group is getting to big and with quickstep riding now gap will decrease quickly I think.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Who said this would be an easy day? Really good transition stage, chapeau.

 

[Akuryo]

I thought the classics are over, why is my team still failing?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

LottoNL showing again that they're the most ridiculous team in the peloton alongside Cannondale.

 

[wolvie15]

What is wrong in teh peloton ? There is only 60 km to go and they are not reacting to the fact that Polanc is the virtual pink jersey wearer ?

I can understand Sunweb not caring if he takes a minute or two on Dumoulin. He will tak it back in teh final TT .

But there are 7 or 8 teams tht should be worried for their GC leader and nothing...

 

[klintE]

Wolvie, gap is going down pretty fast and Pollanc isn't a leader already

Likewise the other teams are confident their GC men can take the time back on stage 18/19/20.

Sbaragli still in the front or not?

Re:

A few teams have taken over. Sunweb seemed content with letting Polanc get the pink jersey. They visibly believe that Dumoulin, and righthly so, would gain back a 2 minutes advantage on the last TT.

When Quicksteps took over, they had a fewwords with the pink jersey. Not kind words i guess.

 

[Akuryo]

Well, QS *** up themselves. Why would they let Polanc get away so much?

Re:

Not

 

[wolvie15]

Looking at who are in front, i would favor Rui Costa to win this stage. If Polanc wasn't there . I don't think they will let Costa steals seconds from his teammate

Re:

I don't get it. And they not alone. Where were Ktusha, Barhein, FDJ , Movistar and all the other teams who have a GC contender ahead of Polanc ?

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Hatch is absolutely obsessed with TJVG

Wont Costa be burned out setting pace for Polanc?

Trying to force Sunseb to burn even more matches. Bluff called.

 

[shalgo]

Teklehaimanot trolling Gaviria.

 

[MikeTichondrius]

Polanc isn't a real GC threat though. I can see the other teams believing they'd get him back tomorrow. Also, Sunweb would be happy to relinquish pink methinks...

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Brutal day for Mohoric.
