Re:

Romain Bardet to be sole leader in the next days, because it's June. #TheCostaPattern

Yeah, I believe that he dropped out of the race during the Dauphine last year.

Yes, but it's not a pattern yet.

 

[BalearicBeats]

I fear that Marcato has left it too late this year! His strongest competitor will be Kreder or Swift I think. Not many random names yet this year, but then again the Chinese races are always late

If B stands for Brenton, then Jones and Domagalski are both out in the last two days thanks to the Tour de Korea.

 

[TMP402]

And indeed Herrada!

It is indeed. Francesco Chicchi is another rider to have dropped out since the last update.

Kelderman out!

Has the prologue finished yet?

Damn sorry - PCS have the stage results up as if the stage has finished, but only 104 finishers, so I guess not yet.

Still some 60 riders to go.

No worries, I was just wondering myself. Though in fact I think his time has just been bested.

Poor Wilco

 

[Alexandre B.]

I feel sad for Bardet.

Re:

Me too. That should have been his for the taking.

 

[valentius borealis]

I might have a bit of work on my hands. I'm not sure if it's particularly common for a rider to hit the 20 mark in June.

It's almost a pity that Bardet will inevitably win some stage of something. He could otherwise be on course for a crushingly huge record.

What a strange thing to say!

5 out of 9 possible top tens in this Dauphiné. Well done Bardet.

You could argue that the entire concept of this thread is kinda strange. Considering how we talk about a rider losing when he finally wins.

 

[TMP402]

Richeze out!

Re: The Amazing Race to Most Top10 Without a Win - 2016 Edit

Who is the ultimate winner of this competition? The one who has the most top10 without a win, or the one who comes 2nd in this?

 

[RedheadDane]

Now that's... a very good question!

 

[TMP402]

There's a point I'd like to make about that: while we don't count .2 results, I imagine a rider who takes lots of .1+ top 10s but also takes some wins at .2, probably doesn't consider his season a failure, so the true "winner" in my mind shouldn't have any .2 wins - which would exclude dudes like Baptiste Planckaert.

 

[BalearicBeats]

The right/wrong Kreder won today at ZLM so Raymond is still in for the win!
