[Potomac]

Coquard is making a great run.

 

[RedheadDane]

Coquard is making a great run.

What are his chances in Limousin?

[RedheadDane]

I'm disappointed by Coquard! That's two races in a row with no top-10s for him...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I'm disappointed by Coquard! That's two races in a row with no top-10s for him...

He's getting too coqy, because he knows he has a huge lead. Matthews might be coming for him, so he can't slack off for the rest of the season.

 

[shalgo]

He's getting too coqy, because he knows he has a huge lead. Matthews might be coming for him, so he can't slack off for the rest of the season.

Indeed, with no Canadian races again this year Matthews has a much smaller chance of elimination.

 

[yaco]

Matthews could win this if Bike Exchange continuing their tactic of Mezgec leading out Matthews who struggles to hold his wheel.

 

[Bonimenier]

I'm disappointed by Coquard! That's two races in a row with no top-10s for him...

Just consolidating his lead. He doesn't want to risk winning by accident.

 

[RedheadDane]

Just consolidating his lead. He doesn't want to risk winning by accident.

And look how well that went! Matthews is breathing down his neck... sometimes, if you wanna win big, you gotta risk being willing to lose big... not one single top-10 the entire race. Does he know how important this is?

[Andy262]

Kristoff OUT.

Coquard and Matthews to duke this out!

 

[Norbea]

Kristoff OUT.

That took unusually long

 

[SafeBet]

Teunissen is coming back strong. I wouldn't underestimate him.

[dusty red roads]

Matthews has to win something this year, so why not this if nothing else!!!

 

[RedheadDane]

Trentin out!

Matthews - otoh - is still going strong!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Coquard couldn't handle the pressure, and if Cofidis keeps Viviani, he won't even have a chance of winning this competition next year.

[Anderis]

Almeida would be on something like 33 right now if he didn't start winning suddenly.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Mørkøv just hasn't taken this competition seriously. He'd have pissed it if he didn't sit up.

 

[Leinster]

Almeida would be on something like 33 right now if he didn't start winning suddenly.

I’ve genuinely never been so disappointed when a rider I liked won a race, as I am each time Almeida wins this season.


Heck, even when riders I don’t like win, I’m less annoyed.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

What are the rules in case of a tie? Fewest race days?

If Coquard finishes in the top 10 in Paris-Tours (though I doubt he will), he'll also reach 22.

He just did, so he’s at 21?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

No, he finished in the top 10 in Paris-Bourges. Paris-Tours is on Sunday.
