If that works for Bouhanni it's worth of red bib.

Re: Re:

Prudhomme designed this year's route to give a pure sprinter like Kittel/Cav a chance to compete for Green with the more versatile guys like Sagan/Matthews and it is working as planned.

Sagan would have destroyed kittel. He can sprint in flat stages and do top3, matthews isn't capable of doing top10

Matthews in flat sprint stages in this years tour:
Liége - 9th (Sagan 10th)
Vittel - 7th
Troyes - 7th
Nuits-Saint-Georges - 3rd
Bergarac - 14th
Pau - 4th
six bunch sprints, five times in the top 10

So i'll change my post to top5
He has one

It's not Mistral today, it's Marin.

Perhaps he was too busy watching Kittel not reach the time limit today.

Re:

50 iirc
EDIT: it's 30 apparently.

 

[FjPavels]

Re:

From letour.com (racecenter): "Michael Matthews is 79 points down on Marcel Kittel in the points competition. He eyes a total of 50 points today: 20 are awarded to the winner of the intermediate sprint with 43.5km to go and 30 to the stage winner at Romans-sur-Isère as this is a coeff. 2 stage."

 

[Son of Amsterhammer]

Re:

30 for win
20 for intermediate

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.

Is the wind gone? Or that the pace is too low?

Re:

[deValtos]

The first chance to break things up is at 37.5km to go, open and cross. Get ready.
