Re:

Gorilla won a stage in every Tour from 2011-2016. Keeping the streak alive today?

To make it more impressive, he won a stage in every GT in which he participated since 2008.

The peloton looks tense, maybe there actually is a chance for some action.

 

[wouterkaas]

First splits in the peloton are appearing. Tension is rising

Re: Re:

If Matthews had got a top3 in Bergarac, then it might have been close. Kittel Still would have won with Sagan in though, although maybe not if Cav had stayed in.

Yes it would be very tough for Sagan to win this year. Yes, he would probably have more top 3 placements than mathews, but so far, he wouldn't have earned much more points as Mathews in hilly stages, on the contrary, them both would compete for the same points, so neither of them might easilly not have the same amount Matthews has by now.

guess Sagan would have finished in Top5, perhaps in Top3 in most of the pure sprint stages ... Rodez would have been a stage he could have won (instead of Matthews) and guess he could have made some points in LePuy-en-Velay as well ... plus the intermediates (Sagan was never afraid going in a break, even day after day) ... so I am pretty sure he would have fared better than Matthews .... if that would have been enough to neutralize the bunch sprint wins by Kittel is up for debate .... anyway, Sagan is not there, and in the end it's fruitless to discuss the "what could have beens" ....

Kwiatkowski wanted to eat something, but he immediately threw his bag away.

How about a sandwich with...NOPE NOPE NOPE

 

[deValtos]

Haha Kwiatkowski looking over and throwing his musette.

 

[Kwibus]

Looks like nobody wants to try, but its still early and there is a better moment coming.

 

[Vasilis]

Aru all alone

McEwen thinks the only section it can split on is between 18 and 9ks to go.

 

[perico]

Nothing like watching Bertie when he feels good.

It's a block headwind from now till 18km. Then cross to 9km. Then tail to the finish.

You are easily pleased !. Nothing wrong with that though.

 

[HelloDolly]

Surely SKY will want to attack if there is wind as rivals in precarious situation

 

[deValtos]

At this point why are Movistar using the whole team to protect Quintana? Or is that just their way of organising themselves?

 

[sir fly]

How much could be gained in 10 miles, half cross, half tail?
A minute, at most, if the conditions are really favourable, I'd say

What Quik Step riders are there with Dan Martin?
