Re:

Millar's team has just been repeated on ITV4. Full team was Indurain, Hinault, Ullrich, Anquetil, Cavendish, Sagan, Bartali, Garin and Froome.

No Bananito?

All commentators are saying Kittel is favorite to win but first 60 kms are very hilly.
I think, he will be already 4-5 mins down when peleton start descent. If QS can get him back then he might win.

Re:

It would make most sense for Indurain to be the leader of Millar's team and Froome being domestique (although Froome shouldn't even be in the team).

But then it wouldn't be Millar's team anymore :razz:

He should have just left Froome out from the start.

Some TV problems because of the wind at the finish line.

3 man break at the moment, this surely won't be the final group

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Sporza saying some of the barriers in Romans-sur-Isère got blown over by the wind. Reports of 70km/h wind gusts in the valley outside Romans-sur-Isère!

Re:

It could be. I can't see many teams willing to put riders in the break if it's so windy. Every GC team in the top 10 will want support, and every sprinter's team too.

ECHELONS!!!!!!

Re: Re:

Anyone see David Millar's TDF Dream Team yesterday? He had Indurain, Hinault, and Ullrich as domestiques for Froome.

Ullrich and Indurain would indeed fit in perfectly with the Sky train. Hinault I wouldn't trust so much.

Millar said the same about Hinault.

I thought the same, but when you actually listen to his reasonings, it actually makes sense, kind of.

I can see Matthews blowing himself up, trying to blow Kittel up.

Sky bringing a big group back, Martin marking Mathews

Re:

Sky bringing a big group back

Because Dan Martin tried to bridge.

Re: Re:

Martin is marking Matthews knowing that Sky will react.

 

[TomLPC]

Great move by Dan Martin

 

[Samamba]

De Gendt still not going to win Supercombatif

 

[Eagle]

Kittel dropped, Matthews goes again

 

[Samamba]

Is Bennett dropped?

 

[Eagle]

3 teammates with Kittel, Quickstep leading the peloton aswell

 

[Samamba]

Matthews is great this Tour!

 

[TourOfSardinia]

great stage to watch from the start, today

Re:

Waste of resources for Dan, although I guess Kittel could be in danger of getting cut, if dropped this early?

 

[MartinGT]

QS dropping their own man using Martin to shut the break down.
