Re: Re:

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.

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

He means scoring green jersey points in the mountains.

Yep. I meant it that way

Oh, The confusion caused by a missing indefinite article. Back to the race, the next climb is coming up.

With all the action and groups on the road, you'd expect bigger gaps.

Indeed. But you do know it's Burghardt who's German champion, right?

Re: Re:

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...

Heard it was at 50 today.

Being so ambigious about it makes it easier to increase time if required...

Jose de Cauwer said it is 35.

So pick your number

Re:

fdj will miss 3 riders, if they keep waiting for demare :/

they are useless anyway with Demare out of race, Pinot do not need so much team suport to fight stage and rest of team is weak

 

[sir fly]

If I'm right, this is going to be the earliest finish this year.

Re:

Why is Sky closing in on the break? Thought they want to lose the jersey.

I guess they lied...

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Demare now at 15 min - in a bigger group. Miracle.

 

[spalco]

The timing is really confusing again. I'll never understand why it's impossible to put some GPS thingie on the riders to know exactly where everyone is.

Brutal stage. One of the best in years!

Re:

Suicide attack from Talansky. He will not stay away for 55 km.

The time limit is a fixed percentage of the winner's time
Not sure what the percentage is for this stage
It should be in the road book

Commentators constantly calling best placed man in front group as virtual yellow. Buchmann was not 20 seconds ahead of Latour when they awarded the chimeral title to him: Talansky is not 50 seconds ahead of Latour now.

 

[Ricco']

Today's stage is being ridden at an insane pace.

Tomorrow it's going to be even more insane. Sky must be tired tomorrow and the first 91 kilometres will be very difficult to control. High potential for carnage!

 

[Vasilis]

Time limit als depends on the average speed throughout the stage
