Well he's in good shape since like March so he may be burning himself out at some point!

He's gonna get the Green Hushovd style!

 

[De Snelle Duif]

He's gonna get the Green Hushovd style!

Sagan vs. Bouhanni vs. Hushovd battle for hilly stage points would be epic!

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Vuillermoz first over Aspin with 1:30 to peloton.

Don't think he will go to to tour, so he can take some risks on the descent.

Would be one hell of a solo win if he makes it to the end.

He's ready for the frozen north.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Roche going berserk and wins solo.
Valverde and Mick somewhat behind.

 

[phanatic]

Nico wins. Piti and Rogers in a group 40 seconds back. Bertie's team is looking strong.

edit: dazed and confused beat me to it.

 

[ILovecycling]

Roche has won?

Omg I was so stupid.

 

[murali]

the official twitter says

Le groupe Valverde-Rogers-Elissonde-Kudus termine à une trentaine de secondes de Roche ! #RDS2014


trentine means 30 right?

 

[ciranda]

Second group w Valverde, someone from Big Mat, Elissonde, Kudus, Boswell I guess and Rogers with supertight skinsuit the way he likes it.

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Signs of life from Boswell then - will help him get a deal somewhere next year

That's Siutsou in the pink climber's jersey isn't it?

He signed a three year deal with Sky, so he has a contract with them for 2015.

 

[MBotero]

Not looking good for Valverde,i was expecting more from him.Right now it looks like Nibali will get at least the 3rd place in july.

 

[ciranda]

That's Siutsou in the pink climber's jersey isn't it?

Yes, should be Siutsou. Boswell was eighth yesterday and just looking at the picture I thought it could be a best young rider jersey.

 

[Hugo87]

Wow a Portuguese team (Radio-Popular ONDA Boavista) doing a race in France, Frederico Figueiredo is a real talent rider, if he manage to keep form from Castilla y Leon, he could fight for top-10/15, though not sure if is a protected rider in this race with Rui Sousa and Daniel Silva in.

Frederico 14th on the queen stage and he's 15th on the GC, not bad with this kind of competition.

 

[Liquigas]

Not looking good for Valverde,i was expecting more from him.Right now it looks like Nibali will get at least the 3rd place in july.

He hasn't raced since LBL, almost 2 months ago. Give him a break.

 

[murali]

procyclingstats says 45 seconds. CQ ranking says 40 seconds.

cant figure out which is correct.

 

[Parrulo]

Frederico 14th on the queen stage and he's 15th on the GC, not bad with this kind of competition.

Very good result i must say. Let's not forget portuguese teams do very little racing before the Volta season starts so he doesn't have much competitive rythm.

You heard it here first, Frederico to win the volta by 5 minutes

 

[Jspear]

procyclingstats says 45 seconds. CQ ranking says 40 seconds.

cant figure out which is correct.

Steephill also says 45 seconds....
Anyone have a link to highlights?

 

[jaylew]

Yes, should be Siutsou. Boswell was eighth yesterday and just looking at the picture I thought it could be a best young rider jersey.

Still, a good result today for Boswell as he was 9th today.
