Bling is pulling Sagan here. If he could manage some proper points from finish I will fall in love with him. But maybe he will help Barguil later.

Why is Sky closing in on the break? Thought they want to lose the jersey.
Buchmann and Latour are threats
Threats for what?

Agree, should let them go. If they are threat to Sky, they are threat to the other GC teams.
Or maybe Sky have a plan with Landa, Henao being 2 minutes up...
Lets see.

Do you mean Sutterlin (the German champion) or GvA? Sagan went home a few days ago.

If the gaps shown by the organisation are correct it seems like the selection from the break wasn't decisive.

He means scoring green jersey points in the mountains.

Demare at 17 minutes...


If the time limit is just over 30 minutes, then he is doomed. Still the two toughest climbs of the day to come.
FWIW, Phil/Paul just said it would be 45...

Where can you see time gaps of the gruppeto?

Unless I'm mistaken they claimed there's 20 seconds between the front of the race and the chasers.

edit: 1 minute again now, so maybe I was wrong.

Yep. I meant it that way :)

I hope that's not true. Pathetic time limit.

The time limit should sort the wheat from the chaff, and in this case Demare is too weak to be a part of the race. Go home, Demare.
