Tour de France 2017 stage 3: Verviers - Longwy 212,5 km

Lance predicts Sagan think I agree with him unless someone gets away in the last kilometers

Obviously this stage looks good for PS, but I voted for Kittle because I want his good TT to pay off.

 

[deValtos]

Kittel doesn't need to win, just stay with the group and then he's got a bigger chance tomorrow.

Colbrelli was really strong today, went way to early and still finished 5th, this kind of final should be great for him.
Sagan was rather poor today, so I don't know if he'll win it. Quickstep has multiple options, Gilbert, Stybar and even Trentin is flying right now, it should be too hard for Kittel. Nacer has done well on harder stages, this one could suit him pretty well.

 

[Frankschleck]

could a break make it?

 

[klintE]

Swift or Ulissi

 

[LaFlorecita]

Colbrelli Matthews Swift top 3

 

[Valv.Piti]

Makes me sad that Valverde isn't in this race anymore. Decent stage I guess, its about embracing those stages that aren't bound to end in a mass sprint.

Sagan easily. His two biggest competitors last year on a pretty equal finish where Bala and Ala. Matthews can maybe do something tho..

No way, unfortunately he is not at the level he was before the crash

Dan Martin ftw
Hoping for any favorite late break to spark the final...

Assuming the break doesn't take it. GVA will.

Sagan was imperious all of last year though, and he hasn't looked the same this year. Even today he looked poor, not just because mistimed his sprint - Colbrelli started even earlier but still beat him. He came 3rd in the first sprint of last year, not 10th.

 

[Kwibus]

It all depends on how hard they ride the climb, specially the first part.

Wow, his hair has gotten really grey!

 

[Akuryo]

From the given options I would say Gilbert but after the TT I wouldn't be surprised if his teammate, Matteo Trentin, would take it! He seems to be in great shape right now.

 

[jaylew]

Sagan
Bling
GVA

In some order

 

[Shardi]

It's Phil-time

 

[markene2]

Lutsenko will attack this bike race

 

[Robert5091]

Would be nice to see a GC contender try to claw back some seconds, but .... "Home boy" Gilbert to reprise Flanders win with a 50 km solo effort

Re: Re:

Demare won a similar stage at PN. He should handle the finish.

Much different circumstances in PN, and both the competition and the finish is way tougher tomorrow

Different finish here too, as tough a competition as tomorrow. Same result.
