[Moondance]

Romain Feillu FTW.

But why? It's probably the most boring stage in the whole week.

Finish is expected before 3 pm, so that's why probably.

Nice... I wish races would finish sooner like this more often.

Greg Henderson managed to win the first road stage of P-N last year, here's hoping he can repeat.

 

[El Pistolero]

I hope Steegmans.

Although I don't know if he's even riding lol.

Oh well, the greatest one-week stage race has started. And there's a cycling road race going on outside my door right now(amateur level)
Hope they will be done soon as I can't get out right now.

Sagan for the stage and over all winner

Sagan for the stage and over all winner

Yes, plus one.

No, wait, Goss for the stage, Sagan for the overall.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

No, Sagan won't win the overall.

For one, he'll fall through in the only stage with a real climb (either stage 5 or the final stage)
For two, he won't limit the damage in the TT enough. He can do a pretty decent prologue, but that's it... (and there isnt even a prologue here, just that TT)

I really don't see how people think Sagan will be the overall winner. Guess all the hype isn't doing him any good. 3 stage wins, possible, but overall victory, no.

France 3 went live 5 minutes or so ago.
Running late. Lots of wind according to the French commentators.
Harmoan and Kelly now live.

NOS is streaming on their site, probably geo restriction though.
