Always wonder what causes Joe Dombrowski to finish so far off the top riders. Tirreno should be perfect for him, and at Astana he has the freedom he needs.

He seems to be weaker than some time ago. On paper he should be on a level with teammates de la Cruz, or Lutsenko, but Dombrowski mostly finishes behind these two, at least.

If Gaudu starts climbing as well as those three consistently, we can book in a 2KM TT up Mur de Bretagne.

And that would be a prologue.
Unless it's on a later stage, I guess. Having the prologue 14 days into the race would be a bit weird.
However, having a 2KM TT 14 days into the race would also be a bit weird.

Death, Taxus and you mentioning some random rider whose performances no one else has even registered. We certainly are living in the golden age of cycling forums!

Bad luck for Keldermann (yet again). Did he crash himself or did Michael Woods cross his wheel?

I think he was looking to his left and didn't noticed Woods crossing in front of him who may have touched him.

What amazed me was his lack of urgency and getting on his bike and get back in the group. He really looked like a "for **** sake, again? Even in this team?"

Roglic was super strong today though, and he gets to win T-A which is an important race missing. Imagine if he hadn't *** Paris-Nice and Dauphine up.

Roglič has already won all of the mentioned races in the past. Catalunya and Swiss are the two left.

Congratulations to Primož Roglič for achieving a hat-trick.

This was the stage i was worried about the most. Seeing on how Roglič managed it left me reassured he is on the right track. Lot of different terrain and a lot of wins for Rogla on this race. His team offering superb support. Hopefully tomorrow another win for van Aert.

P.S. When Rogla was on the podium today. I feel that it was not fair to not give him the white jersey too. This discrimination needs to stop ASAP.

Btw, the whole Astana team has become invisible these days.

He was looking to his left and faded to the right into Woods path. Most guys' tendency is to vary their line the direction they look and pro know how to be neutral. This looked to be too neutral. Pretty "no fault" outcome.

All I know is the driving laws that got me in trouble one time would consider it Kelderman’s fault even though it’s clearly moot at best.

Let Roglic close the gap. Then, after that, another thing he could have done better, was: let Roglic close the gap. Then, he could continue to let Roglic close the gap. And after that, he could not close the gap himself, but get in Roglic' wheel and let him close the gap. Lots of things he could have done differently.

Surprised I'm the only one laughing at this hilarious post.

I can see them including this along with a 20 kms hilly ITT with the headline; "TWO opportunities for time trialists to win back time against the climbers on this balanced route."

MvdP seems to be pretty unhappy about his shape, and normally the prefered way for him to improve is hard racing. Wouldn't be surprised to see him in the breakaway today.

...and if Wout van Aert follows suit, it could actually be quite a fun stage. The first half of it is fairly tough.

Yup. MVP is clearly not in top shape but he's aiming to peak for Roubaix and Flandres (clash with Teddy Merckx incoming). He still has time to do it.

Sanremo is much easier than any of these hilly stages though. He can still be up there on being MvdP.
