The entire middle half of this Tour might as well be one big transfer.transfer stage on Saturday is a crime
With the uphill neutralised start and the descent soon after km 0, I think you had to be in a good position to follow the first attack.They really should but I'm already surprised they all let go so early. Could be that they are all already thinking about tomorrow, in the end it is probably the better opportunity.
Its not the better opportunity if everybody thinks like that at all.They really should but I'm already surprised they all let go so early. Could be that they are all already thinking about tomorrow, in the end it is probably the better opportunity.
AG2R, Bahrain, Movistar, Israel obviously won't control. Having sprinterteams doesn't mean they will do any work. They also shouldn't as chances of them winning are really small anyways.Jayco will ride for Matthews as its probably too hard for Groenewegen. Add Alpecin, while AG2R have options . Then you have Bahrain for Bauhaus, IPt, then you have Movistar for Aranbaru.
The Limoges finale was significantly harder than this one. Given that it doesn't look like they're racing the earlier parts, even Cavendish has a shot here.AG2R, Bahrain, Movistar, Israel obviously won't control.

Also Groenewegen probably has a better shot here than Matthews. Groenewegen was pretty good in Limoges last year, that was pretty similar.
It is the better opportunity if everyone thinks like that, because today has ceased to be an opportunity altogether because everyone thinks like that.Its not the better opportunity if everybody thinks like that at all.

Plus it's a cross/headwind sprint. A good leadout can set up e.g. Groenewegen really well here.The Limoges finale was significantly harder than this one. Given that it doesn't look like they're racing the earlier parts, even Cavendish has a shot here.
I don't think you can conclude that before the hills.It is the better opportunity if everyone thinks like that, because today has ceased to be an opportunity altogether because everyone thinks like that.
Was just gonna say. Long day.Looks miserable out there in the rain.
Amateur hour from the sprint teams, they dont deserve to win lmao.Really a mistake here from the sprinter teams to keep it relatively close
