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

[Pirazziattacks]

Yeesh, even Chavanel's breakaway companions couldn't see the point in staying out there.

 

[sir fly]

Suppose it's easier for a domestic rider to find the point in breakaway.
Tomorrow's time trial probably has an impact, as well.
Even more sedating than yesterday. Hopefully they've learned the lesson.

Majka talking about the wind... I guess he knows more than we do.

 

[hmpower]

Well Done on Dion Smith geting King of the Mountains Jersey!

 

[sir fly]

Any news about Grmay, or he just got bored?

 

[dgodave]

A bug landed on him! Thats pretty exciting.

 

[Stelvio]

This is with about 500 metres to go. Probably not a finish for a long sprint.

The 2k right-hander is more than 90 degrees with (likely) bad visibility. Everyone will want to be in front there.

 

[woodburn]

LLS down. Doesn't look good.

 

[jsem94]

LLS, ouch

 

[spalco]

Uff, gnarly injury.

 

[Laplaz]

Nooo LLS probably won't restart

 

[Rollthedice]

Looks like he's close to DNF.

 

[woodburn]

Abandon LLS. Sucks for him and Astana.

 

[bigcog]

LLS abandon damn ..

 

[markene2]

What happened to LLS?

 

[sir fly]

2 out today.
Dumb.

 

[perico]

Reducing the teams to 8 to prevent crashes has been a total bust so far.

 

[Son of Amsterhammer]

Astana TTT on the ropes

Re:

LLS, ouch

Tried to put upper body pressure and said nfw.. getting in the ambulance.. the guy really looked great at Spanish championships... you just never know!!!!!! those curbs are excellent for not taking out your tire or front suspension of a car but for 700c tires and wheels.. still catastrophic!!!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Bad for Fulgsang

 

[roosters76]

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

 

[MuskyOurSaviour]

Reducing the teams to 8 to prevent crashes has been a total bust so far.

That was never the real reason. It was to make less more exciting less predictable.

 

[Rollthedice]

Yates down.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Adam Yates down
with Jack Bower

 

[SlickMongoose]

Oh Adam.

 

[Finn84]

Dillier also involved.
