[De Snelle Duif]

Skydive takes another win, now with Palini apparently, so it probably was a bunch sprint.

Skydive takes another win, now with Palini apparently, so it probably was a bunch sprint.

Your original view of Skydive being ultra strong seems spot on.

Stage 5 will start early today and there will be a TTT later in the afternoon:

Mancebo to solo from 75km out.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Stage 5 result:

1.Hutarovitch 2. G?ne 3. De Troyer 4. Hoffman 5. Butler

 

[De Snelle Duif]

So skydive has 3 outta 5. Will they take the TTT? This might be Europcars best chance ever to win a TTT

 

[De Snelle Duif]

The TTT should have finished by now yet I find no results

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Might have abandoned the plan.
Gotta say the organisation stretched things a bit even for non Euros....

Yeah but Wanty's even worse, coming in behind 3 man teams while they have a six man team consisting of all moderate to great sprinters for an 8 km TTT, and finishing more than 2 minutes behind.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Apparently the TTT didn't count towards GC, so that might explain some of the results.

Today's menu involves a circuit race around Port-Gentil. Stage 7:

Maybe a monsoon can disrupt Skydive.

 

[De Snelle Duif]

Weird, maybe there was some kind of rain or something like that involved?

I can't see any other way the gaps would be so big on an 8 km circuit. teams like Wanty are almost 10 km slower on average.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Bretagne picks up another win.
Result:
1 Yauheni Hutarovich (Blr) Bretagne - S?ch? Environnement
2 Andrea Palini (Ita) SkyDive Dubai Pro Cycling Team
3 Yohann G?ne (Fra) Team Europcar
4 Meron Teshome Hagos (Eri) Nationalmannschaft Eritrea
5 Nolan Hoffman (RSA) Nationalmannschaft S?dafrika

GC top 5 stays the same.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

These guys rode fast. Really fast.
The same every time. Someone breaks the hour record (multiple), but when it's in Africa no-one gives a damm.....

Since when is this breaking the hour record?

 

[Bushman]

Since when is this breaking the hour record?

Because they rode 53-54 kph in average for 3 hours.

That is actually pretty damn fast.

 

[Netserk]

Because they rode 53-54 kph in average for 3 hours.

That is actually pretty damn fast.

I like how even though the image itself says they did 55.596 kph, you gave it your estimate as well

 

[De Snelle Duif]

Crazy speed, must have had wind in their backs all the time.

 

[jens_attacks]

probably a mistake, someone hyped the ridden kms. it happened before.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Exactly. The distance last year? was 100k in the same race.

Was there also a stream/will there be a stream tomorrow?

Great for Sepulveda to get a win! Im hoping he can do very well in Paris Nice

Here is a video from the race:

Felline looks so alike to Pippo on that podium

 

[DNP-Old]

http://www.streaming-hub.com/lequipe-21-live/ I believe they will show live images of the Drome Classic at 2:30. In other news: Dani Martinez is in the break in Lugano, just 18 years old.
