Ned Boulting just called Froome the modern day cannibal

Because he eats people?

It's Team Sky after all...

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Rowe's going to be on the front for another 40k at this rate. Movistar gonna Movistar.

Re:

Sagan bossing the breaks in the mountains has been missing in my life for too long.

Okay, bossing was a big word. He was a bit more fun in the mountains in his lighter years.

 

[b.broadhurst]

This is crazy. Why are teams letting Sky get their whole team over the first two mountains?

Watch the breakaway, man.

Re:

Most dangerous in break is probably Calmejane

No, it's Van Avermaet...

Plot twist: Van Avermaet has become a mountain goat and will win this race.

Flat stages... boring.
Mountain stages... boring.

Happens every year, and so far only Rowe and Moscon have had to work. 6 fresh guys for the final climbs.

Following the ticker. Wth, GVA still in there? Monster climbing legs from 2016 then.

Re:

Because no-one wants to spend their energy this early in Tour.

But the pace in peloton is ridiculous indeed. I.e. Colbrelli seems to be able to follow with ease.

You mean like Hushovd did some time ago?

 

[wouterkaas]

Something like that yes :lol:

 

[Salvarani]

Puncture can easily happen here on this gravel

 

[bob.a.feet]

I hope this means Alaphilippe is going for polka dot jersey this year

He was Porte's best domestique in the Tour de Suisse. He said he's better than in 2016.

 

[Bolder]

Great TV images at least. Also, it was nice of France to pave the approach road to the gravel section. It does make adifference.

 

[sir fly]

The spectators are awesome!

Aight thanks, didn't see TdS.

 

[fuiers]

That gravel section with added people showcasing period history was awesome dedication. This is Tour at its best.

Re: Re:

Sky's gonna softpedal Croix Fry, break will have 6 minutes, and it's softpedal aaallll the way to the Romme. It's what they always do, and everyone always lets them get away with it

Pretty damn good prediction so far.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Froom puncture?
