Nono = Demare right? OK, where does the nickname come from?

I'm guessing it's his response after winning Milan-San Remo. Arnaud, did you grab onto a team car on the hill? Response: "No..no"

NoNo.

 

[movingtarget]

I think Demare could win this. Not beaten far by Kittel a few days ago.

 

[SHAD0W93]

Come on Cav!

Re: Tour de France 2017 stage 4: Mondorf-les-Bains-Vittel 20

My take goes for Taylor Phinney and dat 5K sprint :geek:

 

[saneguy]

Kittel should take this one again I think.

No chance for echelons today? What's the wind direction?

 

[Lance Armstrong]

35km to go - 1.9 kilometre-long climb at 7.4%

FDJ, Bora, Sunweb could be interested. Slim chance - but it's not impossible to drop Kittel & Cav.

Seems like the chances are none. Looks like a calm day.

Last few kms in Vittel as with most towns / cities a couple of interesting pinch points.

Vittel looks a beautiful place.

I don't think it's enough to drop Kittel in that way he wouldn't be able get back. It could serve to tire Kittel at most, if he needed to chase.

Btw, if the BOTD is already caught, sagan could go for the 4cat point to earn RP jersey, it's the only he's haven't already earned in TDF

That would be awesome. I want to see Sagan in that Jersey. I am very curious how much afford he would give to defend it in stage 5.

(Ar)Naud is pronounced no in french so here's your explanation

 

[Brullnux]

Cavendish seems ultra pessimistic about his chances today

 

[Eagle]

Van Keirsbulck solo break, thankfully we have it all live

 

[MartinGT]

Re:

Loooooooooong day for him

 

[Lance Armstrong]

It had to be expected with that shitty stage design.

I feel worse for the commentators

Poor GVK

Re:

What did he say?
(BTW that could mean he is feeling good. it's a tactic often used by him, such as at MSR when he won and other times)

I reckon 1.9 km @ 7.4% is a mistake from ASO. That would likely be a Cat 3 and this is a Cat 4. Looks more like 1.9 km @ 5.4% to me on google earth and a very steady drag unfortunately
