TdF 2018 stage 2: Mouilleron > La Roche-Sur-Yon 182,5 km

[Sestriere]

There was a BM rider on the ground who seemed to be in pain. Anyone know who that was?

I think it was Haussler.

 

[70kmph]

Sagan in yellow

 

[Unchained]

Greipel just announced his retirement!!

 

[sir fly]

Big blow for Gaviria in the Points competition. I think it might be one of his goals for this race.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Crockett has gotten substantially faster in sprints this year.

@Guyincognito, yes it was John D, but seeing that he was quickly losing the wheel of Demare, Sagan needed to respond and get on Demare's wheel.
To win a bunch sprint you need to be ruthless and decisive. Today was no exception

Wut? You mean from cycling?

 

[sprints n stones]

Kittel will not win this stage

Should have followed heart not head
Still sure you're not disappointed with result!

Re: Re:

Why on earth is Sagan showing off his shape? Gaviria looks much smarter "not contesting" the intermediate.

He's not going to win a stage like this anyway.

You were saying?

No, from bocce ball. His playing mate was a real ass, so he decided to quit playing

Green is half way home.

Feel so sorry for him. Just managed to get back into top shape after few years of injuries. Hope nothing serious, but he looked like in serious pain.

 

[SKSemtex]

Can Sagan refuse the yellow tomorrow? That could be fan.

Plus Nibali needs him

Chapeau Sagan - nearly Colbrelli.
Was waiting for Valverde to sprint past everyone Someone wrote about that turn with 2 km to go ...

He cannot refuse green if he leads the competition.

He really needs a change of luck.

 

[Rollthedice]

Tomorrow Thomas in yellow.

 

[movingtarget]

Astana already down one rider. Won't help them in the TTT.

Having a barbecue with Kittel

 

[Valv.Piti]

Meh, that was a disappointing sprint. Gaviria, Kittel, Cav and Groenewegen MIA. Nice sprint by Sagan, but when a stage only can offer a sprint and its not even a decent one, its problematic.

 

[yaco]

It was a tougher finish than indicated on the profile and perfectly suited Sagan's characteristics - Matthews would have done well if wasn't brought down in the crash.

 

[Salvarani]

LSS gone... thats a big blow for Fuglsang. Tomorrow and continuing.
