:surprised: please no

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Re: Re:

Anyone but Demare please.

Why?

I don't like him as a rider. Since March 2016, when he set the record on Cipressa.

Re:

Nairo down

Nairo back up.

 

[Laplaz]

Hopefully no consequences for Nairito

 

[SKSemtex]

Oss should have gone for a break as well.

Re:

Well the last time he fell seemingly without consequences he was immediately 5% less good. (Giro 2017). So I fear we won't see much fireworks from him tomorrow

 

[Captain Serious]

Did I just see a dog run across the road near the breakaway guys?

 

[skippo12]

GC guys will feel this stage tomorrow...high pace and no rest at all. Could be a difference maker.

Oh no don't tell me that Dawg got in the break!

 

[shalgo]

There are some good rouleurs in this break. It is not surprising that the sprinters' teams don't want to let them get a large gap.

Even though the pace is quite high, I guess most riders don't have it that hard.

Btw, are Stuyven and Vanmarcke still in between the break and the peloton?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Seriously, how hard can it be to make the GPS timing work? They've used the technology for years, yet it's still all over the place. If it's really that hard, just do it the old-fashioned way instead.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Hoping for one of the Bora big lumps to do a Postlberger at the end. I suspect that UAE or FDJ would have some difficulties bringing a powerful late attack back.

One of the B's will take it, Burghardt or Bodnar

It would be a good revenge for Bodnar after last year's Pau stage.

Why is Froome riding behind Thomas? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Thomas probably feels safer in front than behind :lol:

Re:

Sky often ride with their leader second from the back. I think the idea is to keep his rear wheel away from inattentive riders from other teams.

 

[Dr. Watson]

does anyone know who is that guest commentator with Hatch on ES right now?

Re:

Think it was Nico Roche

thanks!

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Dan Martin playing the anchor.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Kelly regrets mentioning Tobias Ludvigsson halfway through saying his name.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Surprising that Bora have taken over the front. Presumably Sagan has decided to sprint

 

[dgodave]

dam lot of elbows
