[Red Rick]

Yes, until the sprint

Crosswinds on Col de Lusette

Roche also looked good on stage 2 and 4 though.

Greg Van Avermaet in yellow?

Greg Van Avermaet in yellow?

not at the finish I suppose

 

[Mayomaniac]

Finally an interesting breakaway with many strong riders in it?
What are the French PCT teams doing? I get that Arkéa are riding for Nairo and don't really bother with just sending guys into the breakaway to give the sponsors some TV time, but Total Direct Energy and Vital Concept really should have tried to put one into the breakaway, even if it's a rouleur who has no chance to actually win the stage.

 

[Red Rick]

If it stabilizes around 6 minutes, I think it takes another team to do chasin in the last 20-40km before they start climbing. I don't fancy the breakaways chances if they start climbing with less than 4 minutes.

 

[BlueRoads]

6 minutes. That's what happens when DQS does not have the yellow jersey.

 

[sir fly]

Mitchelton may not want to take care of the jersey, but they're here for the stages, and this one must've been on their radar.
Let's see what happens.

 

[spalco]

Yates is not super-likely to keep the jersey even if the break doesn't survive, so I'd say his team is smart not shooting all their powder in the chase. I wouldn't do more than the bare necessity if I was M-S too. The jumbots are still favourites, let them work or take it easy until the climb.

Weird thing is Yates is also their card for the stage win.

I think what they should've done is try to get Nieve in the break.

 

[HelloDolly]

MS can retain yellow by controlling breakaway but not fully chasing it down

Just need to stay 3mins within GVA and 4 with next rider.....can be done

Well, can't have everything. If he's looking at GC it's best not to drop time on other contenders today.

 

[HelloDolly]

Yates will hang on to that jersey as long as he can

 

[fuiers]

I dont really understand the tactics in cycling yet, luckily Wiggins talks to me like I am a golden retriever.

Chaves. I think I had him in the stage predictions for today.

 

[broppo]

I dont think mitchelton scott is strong enough to keep the breakaway in check. Yates will probably lose the yellow jersey.

They just need to get within 3 minutes as someone pointed out earlier, that should still be easily doable if Yates doesn't get dropped.

hmm we will see im also not sure if yates will not lose time to roglic.

Yeah, that's the crux I think.

What secret kind of food did Powless put in his rear pocket....?
The UCI should investigate!



Jokes aside: It's probably a birthday cake!

Too bad it wasn't yesterday that was his birthday. He could've gotten one with candles and everything!

Even cut it and serve on plates.

Sagan transferred to D-QS!

 

[fuiers]

I wonder do Alpecin recruit their riders based on the amount of hair they have. Now its Van Der Poel and before him Kittel. It would be nice to see a rider who is really fighting for his hair.
