Re:

Gallopin hasn't missed a single move so far

And he has now counter-attacked.

 

[rune1107]

Gallopin really agressive! 25" gap together with Bystrøm, Wynants, Sarreau and Siskevicius

Re:

Is John D together with Alberto ?

He was in the first group from the start. If he's literally, physically with Alberto, not sure

 

[Velolover2]

If they were smart, they'll try to eliminate Porte from the race.

Full gas from Katusha, Sky, Quick-Step and Trek.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Gallopin will probably snatch 2 or 3 seconds with the next sprint intermédiaire being so close.

Probably 2 with Gilbert being there.

Porte has already eliminated himself, they dont have to try

 

[Poursuivant]

Still no stream? Crazy

 

[DBotero]

Porte at almost 5min.Abandon coming up i think

 

[Akuryo]

New group has already 1:20 ... what is going on today?!

 

[rune1107]

Ok so now the break has got a 1'20" gap on the peloton.

 

[Samamba]

Going to be a bunch sprint. If they don't keep Porte at a distance they're ***.

 

[LaFlorecita]

I take back my words, seems Gogl, Rast and Theuns worked like animals to chase the front group down. But they must have joined the Contador group when others came back because before it was just Pantano with him

 

[rune1107]

Looks like an organized chase in the pack, here on the first live images. Bunch sprint is likely

Re:

To be honest even if they don't push a very high pace it'll take something special for BMC to close 5 minutes (if that gap is correct)

They have to. Let's hope they are not this stupid.

 

[Poursuivant]

Demare and co will chase now.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Bystrøm finally stopping to take turns. What is Gilbert doing?

 

[rune1107]

2 stages - 33 pages of discussion. Almost TDF hype going on in here!

Re:

Giving Dan Martin and Alaphilippe some time to breathe, I guess. His team can rest if he is in front ...

He shouldn't be taking turns though. Enough if he is just sitting in the group

 

[Poursuivant]

Please tell me there can be similar weather tomorrow.

 

[DBotero]

Sky working for?
Maybe they forgot that Swift has changed teams.

In this case it's not really a hype as such, it's rather a reflection of the excitement this two stages already brought.

Local showers around Chablis - so not impossible. Although the wind will not be as powerfull as the first 2 stages..
