Vermote to win again! otherwise Sergent

 

[RedheadDane]

GEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ! Those are some crazy climbs! 😱

Then you look at the elevation...🙄

 

[El Pistolero]

The last stage should be good. If Cavendish wants to be a legitimate contender for MSR he should be able to hang on there.

Even if Cav wants to win MSR, he definately doesn't want to be a legitimate contender.

 

[TeoSheva]

any news on the chrono?

OPQS twitter :
Jungels is the new provisional race leader, besting Devenyns by 1 second with a time of 8'27"

Even if Cav wants to win MSR, he definately doesn't want to be a legitimate contender.

Then why did he throw a hissy fit in Milan-San Remo 2009 when Boonen said he wasn't one?
