If the break gets to 15+ minutes the Wanty guy starts approaching top10, would be fun to see who chases if that happens.

yeah, I just checked, the time cut is likely to be around ~20 minutesMrTea1976 said:search said:They van give Meurisse yellow and he still is unlikely to challenge the Top 10

From what I heard, the peloton is where the time cut is taken from today.

He'd drop them with left leg.dutchdescent said:
Sagan already has a stage win, his green jersey is locked. It's not necessary for him to join the break. Sunweb however has no excuse to get their only guy who can win races in the break.tomorrow said:Salvarani said:Bardamu said:What a complete waste of a team Sunweb is.

Maybe he just missed it.
yup, it's very possible, same for sagan I guess. Why on earth isn't he there that's a mystery, especially if oss and postlberger are there.

They're responsible for his attitude. They're responsible to motivate the team and make the most out of a shitty situation.HelloDolly said:Bardamu said:What a complete waste of a team Sunweb is.

I think its unfair to blame the team for Matthews...His orders would have been 'be in the break'
Since the Tour started Matthews has been out of sorts, disgruntled with his training and totally negative
He was never going to win with that attitude
Other riders lose a leader they adapt but not Matthews
But where is Arnt or Anderson or Haga for the break ?
Roche has been in nearly every break so far ..at least he is trying
I feel for Sunweb losing Dumoulin ...where do they go form here
They're responsible for his attitude. They're responsible to motivate the team and make the most out of a ****** situation.

He gave up for green becuase he wanted to go for breaks and he missed break in only stage which suits him :lol: :lol: Cycling is sometimes strange indeed.
Sunweb get what they deserve. Out of 200 plus race days they only ride for one personHelloDolly said:Scarponi said:Makes zero sense to train Matthews as a mountain domestique to Tom, what stage was he going to light up at the front? He was going to hold on until there was 30-40 riders left
He had plenty time to do sprint training when Dumoulin announced he wasn't doing the Tour
And anyway Matthews training was for rolling terrain....perfect for today
Matthews had the excuses ready early
