Re: Re:
On Saturday the cat. 1 climb before the last 10k of false flat would be a cat. 2 in Giro, it's 11k at 6.4 average. Don't think anything can happen.Kafviar said:
Stages like that are always pretty fun early in the race, should be a decent stage at least. Well, we will at least watch real racing compared to the next few days
Navardaskus (sp?) for the win from a breakaway of seven or eight riders.
That guy is long overdue for a big win. Plus, quick step have bigger fish to fry; katusha no like kristoff; and dimension data no longer have a reason to exist. They might as well join the touring groups that follow Le Tour and give sightseeing tips to foreigners. I'd love to see Bouhannni (sp?) get a win, but he seems cursed.

Oops, sorry. Now I know why the guy was laughing when I threw down 50 bux on Navardauskas. I wonder if I can get my money back.

Re: Re:
Yeah but some cat 1s could feasibly be cat 1s in the Giro (Joux Plane). This is barely a cat 1. I've seen comparable climbs as Cat 3 or unclassified in the Giro.swissfr said:
it's hard to find a reason to watch before the first 200km...
Kittel ftw

Bouhanni to win and do what Demare did on stage 4 to Bouhanni to Demare. Then Bouhanni to get relegated and Demare to win.
Demare to win fair and square, many posters bite their laptop in anger while Nacer punches his handlebars and whines that a pigeon dumped in his eye in the final kilometer (many pigeons in Troyes, believe me)

I think it's possible Demare could win again. Maybe Bouhanni figures more now with Sagan and Cav gone.
Re:
Greipel.
Kittel is more likely to prevail in the situation of an outright head-to-head match-up, but Greipel is more likely to be well-positioned for a winning sprint in the first place.

If I were Sagan I'd be at every single stage finish stealing the spotlight. Shades on.
That'd be the greatest troll of the century.

The lead-in to the finish in the arrival city looks not too bad. There is a hard-left 90-degree turn at about 2 kilometers out. And then curiously, a round-about circile, to pass through at about 200 meters from the finish line. Seems tactically very important to get around that semicircle before anyone else
Re:
With this round-about circle, this would be another Sagan podium stage.
