Contenders back together besides Fuglsang.

You forgot TVG :lol:

 

[SlickMongoose]

Oh, BMC.....

 

[bob.a.feet]

I think a load of Bahrain riders were affected by the big crash

 

[Flamin]

Nairito dropped on the cobbles? He was in the first group after the big crash.

Re:

come on, bury Nairo

Come on bro he was riding so well on a crappy stage for him and only got busted off a puncture =(

Immense work from EF on closing the gap and shepherding Uran back

Re:

What happened to Movistar? They were in the Sky group not so long ago.

Quintana & big cobbles is what happened. He just can't keep up on them.

Re: Re:

Time limit gonna be an issue for Groenewegen?

What’s the classification?

Coefficient 2

Should be fine.

 

[Amazinmets87]

At what point does the breakaway making it become feasible? With a reduced peloton and the increased difficulty of drafting on the cobbles seems 2:00 is a large gap.

Kwiatkowski is really bossing it.

He is amazing.

One of the smartest. World Champion.

Who was it that said we would not see the Sky train....

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Zakarin made it back too

With riders like Sagan and GvA in the Peloton, 2:00 is nowhere near enough you'd think.

Sky letting everyone get back on

Still a long way to go. In 30km if the gap is the same it might start to look possible.

Luke Rowe too

 

[glassmoon]

Any real GC contenders missing yet?

Re:

I think they are much happier with G/Froome/Bernal not losing any time than gain on anyone here

 

[silvergrenade]

Sep doing a fantastic job for Uran.

 

[topt]

Roglic waiting for Kruiswijk, what the hell is Lotto thinking

 

[Poursuivant]

Sky haven’t drilled it when Nibali, NQ, Fuglsang, Dumoulin and Yates have all been off the back, they’ve just rode steady.

 

[Rollthedice]

Nibs got held up by the crash or was distanced ?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Rearguard action by BMC
bravo TJvG

Actually it turns out Dumoulin was never off the back, he was in the 1st selection
