TdF 2018 stage 3 TTT Cholet 35.5 km

NL Jumbo is losing so much time.

 

[bajbar]

Apparently a mechanical for Roglič... thus the bad time at the first time check... his original bike is on the roof of the car two kilometres ahead of the team...

 

[Red Rick]

Crosswinds

Re:

Who changed the Bahrain flag into Butans'?

It's Brunei's flag, but I wondered that as well. Hoping that they can limit Nibali's time loss. Finishing around Movistar's time would be good.

Yeah but they are still losing time, so it wasn't just a bit of added time thing.

 

[SafeBet]

Sunweb gaining time in the second split?

 

[Red Rick]

Dumoulin flattened that hill

Etixx will win now

 

[woodburn]

Tom driving. Gap down to +13 at second check.

 

[perico]

Tom has picked up the pace

 

[Red Rick]

Lotto NL lost nothing in the last 20km

 

[Lequack]

LottoNL 1:15 at the finish.

 

[woodburn]

Bahrain +21 at first check. Not awful if they can keep that pace.

You could see that Roglič had a different collored bike to the others. Such a shame... they could have done so much better

Yeah they were lucky to avoid the crashes in the first two stages but unlucky here.

Negative split incoming.

 

[Stella0596]

Good performance by Sunweb.

 

[woodburn]

Dumoulin looks like he might be primed for good showing.

He's never backed up a grand tour with another one, lets wait and see.

Katusha down to four with 8k left.

Negative split incoming.

Yeah. Will probably lose around 1.20 at the end.

Didn't say win. But good showing. Perhaps dark horse for top five.

 

[Red Rick]

Nibali isolating himself on the hill

 

[Singer01]

NIbali voodoo on himself, only 4 left with a far bit to go, and already a decent time loss incoming.

 

[MatParker117]

Nibali nuking two teammates there.
