Re:

When they start playing for the stage win gap will come down even more.

Sky will work no matter what

Re:

Now these groups are so small how much will that little climb affect it

Is it long enough for Kittel to drop ?

Re: Re:

Ye, he got some help. Literally everybody does. It wasn't that scandalous.

DSQ? This stuff is always blown of of proportion.

No but he should get a time penalty of some sort.

Bardet bridged the gap of 30-40s alone in the crosswinds to a Martin led Katusha team going full gas. C'mon, it was bad. I think it was almost as bad as when Nibali was DSQ in the Vuelta.

Re:

Good to see Dan Martin in the front group. He needs a minute at least because of the time trial.

Porte/Contador/Zakarin losing some time makes it more fair.

Gallopin/Martin/Alaphilippe/Henao should be really good on the mur of stage 6. Maybe they have a chance to fight for overall.

You're right, forgot there were still GC teams up front.

Don't be silly. It is rare to have two stages with echelons in a race

Hey, went to the other forum to slag the ES commentators. Disappointed there was no thread.

Bad luck.

yes, Rowe will keep the speed up when they start looking at each other

Re:

*opens tv*

-Hears Portuguese commentator saying that, of the sprinters up front, Coquard is the least likely to win because of the slight uphill.-

*turns off tv*


Any streams?

Ironically, they were right

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Portuguese commentator is a genius.

Team Direct out of Energy

 

[Flamin]

Greipel is a too nice guy. He can win the stage but works for a top-10 for Gallopin.

[infeXio]

Luke Rowe is such a strong rider

Edit: maybe a bit premature haha
