Re: Re:

Pozzovivo apparently in so Sky can't softpedal now.

Sorry, Ion it is.

Ion - that would be a free radical

Re:

GVA being true and honest. "This will be my last day in yellow."

Probably.
He said this will probably be....

 

[del1962]

Most dangerous in break is probably Calmejane

 

[Bot. Sky_Bot]

Excellent view!

 

[RedheadDane]

Okay, this is a bit of a silly question, but could Van Vleuten call Matt White and give him a "last minute" opdate on the conditions at the finish?
I mean, it is the technically the same team.

Brave mechanician from Sunweb, working Dumo's brakes while riding.

Personally I think the commissaires need to keep an eye on this kind of thing.

Are teams really just going to let Sky ride like this? They’ll have their whole team at the bottom of the Romme and that will spell trouble!

Or for *** sake. The guy has already been punished, were others who were doing the same weren't. Stop singling the guy out :lol:

Haven't seen a stronger breakaway since... I don't know... some Monument.

 

[b.broadhurst]

Interesting Moscon is working before Castro. Guess he’s feeling the effects of his crash.

No singling out, need to keep an eye on all riders. A brake problem is a great excuse to get a good few pulls, then swap the bike for the final climb.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

maybe he just needs his brake fixed after that early crash. Sjeesh. It's ridiculous to search everything behind everything

There are better climbers in the break.

Not in as a good a GC Position though

 

[Finn84]

Molard is making the first real effort for polka-dots, followed by Taaramäe. Not surprising really since neither team hasn't rider for GC.

 

[Jagartrott]

GVA honouring the jersey - good to see.

 

[wouterkaas]

Am I the only one who thinks that "Croix de Fry" sounds like the local fried snack they would sell near the Croix de Fer?

 

[markene2]

Oil spill on the .hc climb

 

[bob.a.feet]

Ned Boulting just called Froome the modern day cannibal

 

[dgodave]

Fairly ho-hum abbey. Not up to the usual standard.

Re:

Anything big? Where is this being reported?

 

[sir fly]

Resurfaced road... for now.

Re: Re:

I'd expect van Avermaet in the break to try to save the yellow jersey like he did in 2016.

Seems like a good shout to me as it's their most productive hope of getting anything from the stage. Wonder whether we will get an epic Sagan showboating for fun show or if his inability to make the difference on the cobbles shows he needs to recharge the batteries and wait a few days.

One certainty is De Gendt will try to make the move and any climber out of the GC has a big chance to lay the foundations for a polka dot jersey challenge.

The Glieres climb looks really fun for us but may well be too far out on day one for the mountains to spur the peloton into full action.

It would not surprise me to see Sagan in a breakaway going for 20 points. It's just 29km to the sprint.

... just saying
