[Earns1985]

Schelling wants to wear the mountain jersey tomorrow..

 

[Lequack]

I missed the TDF fans

 

[Broccolidwarf]

7K to the sprint, the break group being that close, things will heat up in the peloton.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Rain drops on the lense…

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Schelling has made the rest of the break look like amateurs.

 

[MartinGT]

Has Froome been dropped yet?

 

[limak_]

They f*ucked up with the green in Colbrelli's shirt, didn't they?

 

[BlueRoads]

Schelling

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Has Froome been dropped yet?

O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,

 

[MartinGT]

So according to Kirby Italy have two national champs riding

 

[BlueRoads]

what did Ewan do to his hair?

Schelling has made the rest of the break look like amateurs.

Like Schelling peas.

 

[bigcog]

Has Froome been dropped yet?

I might be wrong but thought I saw him near the front a few minutes ago.

 

[Armchair cyclist]

So despite his protestations, Ewan does have Green Jersey ambitions

So despite his protestations, Ewan does have Green Jersey ambitions

He literally said he was interested but didn't know if it was possible. He would definitely try to go for it if he does good in the first flat sprints. I have no idea why everyone here was under the impression that he didn't care at all. Obviously todays stage finish is too hard for him so there was no reason not to go win that intermediate.

He didn't protest against at least trying to take green. Stage wins are the prioritize but why not try to go for the green as well

 

[gregrowlerson]

Porte already doing a little domestique work.

 

[Anybody_but..]

O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,

BTW, has the sprat been dropped yet?
Or maybe both of them create gruppetto right now?

Schelling

Love at first sight?

He looks a little like a young Tony Martin, and rides with the flamboyance of Julian Alaphalippe!

 

[MartinGT]

He looks a little like a young Tony Martin, and rides with the flamboyance of Julian Alaphalippe!

He does look like Martin!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Love at first sight?

He looks a little like a young Tony Martin, and rides with the flamboyance of Julian Alaphalippe!

But can he sprint like peak Hodeg?

Don't know why but I have developed a soft spot for him during the spring and that sprint was nice.

 

[sir fly]

They should put as many dots as the points won on the jersey.
... throughout the race.

 

[BlueRoads]

But can he sprint like peak Hodeg?

No!!! Can he smile like him? Probably not. Does he stand up for good things like him against dark forces? Hopefully.
But that's okay. There's only one Hodeg.

Yeah, his sprint against his imaginary competitors, quite amusing
