Pedersen, Stuyven or Theuns to get 5th?

Andersen said "99% for Pedersen" the other day

...but apparently they are going for Stuyven now

Makes sense with Stuyven. I think Trek will go for Mads Pedersen on stage 10. It's completely flat and later in in the race. That suits him better.

Reliable source?

 

[armchairclimber]

Schachattack.

 

[tobydawq]

Reliable source?

Yes, he is, and his source is Pedersen's text message diary with TV2's Rasmus Staghøj.

Any chance for the break here?
Stage 6 is a tough one after all.

Nah. Sprinter teams didn't have to work yesterday, they don't have to work tomorrow. Should be easy to control with much of the route being slightly downhill and gradually uphill in the finale.

Crazier things have happend, but I'd wager below average even for a stage of this type, so nearly no chance.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

The first difficulty for the break is finding someone to go in it. Schar and Grellier maybe

 

[Cookster15]

Ewan I suppose. Uphill. In good form. etc.

 

[LeChuck]

Can Coquard do something today ?

 

[RedheadDane]

Nooobody wanna go.

 

[Faserr]

Will there be a rider who wants to go in the break today? They have to pay him a lot of money.

They did not pay enough

 

[Vino's Mum]

Perfect stage for Démare.




Oh, hang on...

 

[Broccolidwarf]

It would seem that when De Gendt, Asgreen and Martin are the first 3 in the peloton, nobody really wants to ride in a break........ I understand them

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Haha, and then Asgreen goes himself

I will bet you after the stage he will be like "it got too boring".

 

[RedheadDane]

So Asgreen just gotta do the breakawaying himself...
And De Gendt too.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

PLEASE Jumbo, let Martin go too - those 3 in a break would be hilarious, the peloton would not see them again until Paris!

 

[sir fly]

Nooobody wanna go.

Heard ya!

 

[Broccolidwarf]

De Gendt don't wanna work, break over in 30 seconds

 

[sir fly]

The intermediate is ts the reason.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

The intermediate is ts the reason.

Not for ALL the teams

 

[sir fly]

Not for ALL the teams

Not all are in for it, but all have agreed, it seems.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

So I guess I'll turn the TV back on in 3 hours

 

[RedheadDane]

Pöstlberger(?) so bored he decides to ride one-legged?
