Paris-Nice 2017, 5th-12th March

[Breh]

Port is done for, it seems.

 

[Poursuivant]

Apparently Yates Contador in group 22" behind . I can see it coming back again but there will surely be more fireworks

 

[Poursuivant]

Km 63.5 - The first two parts of the peloton just merged to form a pack of 36 riders. Alberto Contador, Dan Martin and Philippe Gilbert are part of a group lying 35 seconds adrift. Richie Porte is further back.

 

[Netserk]

MAYBE, this could turn out really well for Contador.

Re:

If he gets back to the front then perhaps, it is looking far from ideal at the moment, Porte's GC race being potentially over besides.

Greipel back in group 2 after a flat

This Stage = Everyone for himself.

Re:

he could've done great work in the front.

Re:

Gallopin and Alaphilippe confirmed as the only GC contenders in the first group. Besides them some sprinters (Kittel, Greipel, Kristoff, Demare, Degenkolb) and domestiques

Just seen a photo of a lone Orica couple, 1 of them Yates, but unsure where they are

Edit: Barguil also in 1st group

Yates is being paced by Albasini - Surprising that Orica is struggling so much in the cross winds, seeing they have half their classic's squad at PN.

 

[sQiD]

Porte 3 min behind !!!

 

[DBotero]

Km 70 - 24 riders: Degenkolb, Kristoff, Gallopin, Alaphilippe, Kittel, Roosen, Wynants, Demare, Konovalovas, Molard, Sarreau, Lutsenko, Laporte, Swift, Bennett, Smukulis, Zakarin, Wagner, Henao, Knees, Rowe, Senechal, Soupe and Hardy lead a second groupe including Contador and Dan Martin by 50 seconds.

Re:

He's gaining on Porte but losing to everyone else, Zakarin, Yates, Barguil, Alaphilippe, Gallopin are all ahead of him. No idea where Henao is at the moment.

At the front with Rowe and Knees.

It said Seb Henao on the live ticker, but I see that's incorrect. So it's difficult to see this turn out "really well" for Contador

 

[sQiD]

Only 13 riders now in front ! Degenkolb, Kristoff, Zakarin, Bystrom, Gallopin, Alaphilippe, Kittel, Demare, Laporte, Swift, Bennett, Henao & Rowe. Katusha with 3, Sky & QSF with 2.
So who'll be finish solo ?

Edit : i'm gonna stop posting, it's a meltdown !

[DBotero]

Only 13 riders are left in the lead: Degenkolb, Kristoff, Bystrom, Gallopin, Alaphilippe, Kittel, Demare, Laporte, Swift, Bennett, Zakarin, Henao, Rowe

[inacion]

Another messy stage, echelons party... Looks like some teams doesn't handle very the echelons

 

[Gigs_98]

[rune1107]

Degenkolb in the front, but no Contador. Frustrating..
