The 2nd Tour De Yorkshire (2.1) 29/04 - 1/05/16

[shalgo]

Are the time bonuses 8-4-2? If so, since there are only three seconds separating everyone in the lead group, doesn't that mean that if they stay away and finish as a group, then whoever wins the sprint takes the GC?

 

[Bushman]

What a brave ride by Arndt, trying to close the gap on his own now

 

[johnymax]

Wow Kruijswijk. Is he too good too soon or will he kill it in the Giro? Imagine him in the 3rd week if his form progresses as it usually does.

Turgis can come second

 

[luckyboy]

bonus is 10-6-4

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Forget about the bonus seconds. Yates is going to win this solo.

Ah, okay--I thought there was a graphic a little while ago showing that there was only a three second gap among the riders in the lead group, but perhaps that did not take into account bonus seconds today.

 

[classicomano]

Arndt finally stepping up. He'll probably "die" trying but its a good sign.

 

[del1962]

Arndt looks done

 

[TMP402]

Does that alter who the best sprinter is if we add Turgis and Voeckler?

 

[TomLPC]

Yates looks good for this, had a toke of Simons puffer thing in the feed zone

 

[TMP402]

Yates Stannarding the chase.

 

[del1962]

Go Nico

 

[del1962]

Turgis in the grass

 

[Beacon Hill]

Roche vs Voeckler will be an interesting sprint.

 

[TMP402]

Who knew Voeckler was a Scarborough specialist.

 

[luckyboy]

Last year in Scarborough Voeckler lost the sprint to a Sky rider with a Cofidis rider coming third...

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Great stage! They should turn this race into a one day race instead.

 

[Brullnux]

You are kidding. My stream dies with 500m to go.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Roche.

 

[Hayabusa]

Great stage, pity about the winner but that's racing.

 

[carolina]

roche really messed that up...

Start it in Tom Simpson's birthplace and make it his memorial race.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Oh my god wat an idiot Roche. He was sleeping

 

[DBotero]

Lol Roche Nice race.
