[BigC24]

Did France get invaded again?

If that was the case, you wouldn't see a single one

 

[karlboss]

f*** I hate these stages.

 

[dgodave]

OH nice chateau. Looks modest yet elegant, and it almost has a moat.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

2nd hour avg speed: 36,5 km/h

Lets just hope we avoid crashes today.

At middle of the race Sky has all 8 members at front together, i guess they must reestablish Froome's confidence in the team after the blunder 2 days ago

Nothing will happen this stage, it will be a Kittel-Greipel-Cav-Sagan affair

 

[Sophistic82]

With a soft break on a flat stage this is how it normally works.

The leader's team keeps the break at 5 minutes or so for half the stage and then the sprinter teams takes over. Deal making at the breakfast table.

Next two road stages same thing probably.

It will only hurt Sky if the pace is high.

i dont get that argument, the sprinters wouldnt keep the breakaway closer, so the pace would be the same.

Team of the leader takes responsibility. Sky likes to be at the front anyway.

 

[uconnryan]

Greipel sprinting with a 54x11 gear? That's like Cancellara's time trial gear

 

[zombo10]

Cavendish 53-11 for this stage and Greipel 54-11.

 

[zombo10]

Sorry yes 54-11 for Greipl'.

 

[Pulpstar]

What will Kittel use ?

 

[The Principal Sheep]

Intermediate sprint coming up in less than 10km! oh the excitement of it all!

A deep moment of clarity there from Brian, thanks Brian, that must have been tough for you but thanks for sharing.

Unfortunately they were nowhere near on Sunday. I notice this is your first post, if this is the way you wish to carry on you wont be here very long.

Well that's not very welcoming! he's obviously either an enthusiastic Sky fan or suffering from some form of cycling tourettes, either way lets be a bit nicer to Brian. Hi Brian, all are welcome, even Sky fans (be careful in the clinic).

 

[Pulpstar]

Cofidis takes it ! (Sprinting for the cash !)

 

[The Principal Sheep]

Greipel again!

 

[Taxus4a]

Sky has the best budget... the best?... today yes, they has the best riders for GT, but in this Tour the strongest team is Movistar.

They must learn some things about road cycling.
Yesterday JV give then a lesson.

Today is going to be dangerous at the end, very open and strong crosswinds, with some slopes.

 

[More Strides than Rides]

Cav content to win the "pin the tail on Sagan" competition

 

[Pulpstar]

Come stage End Sagan will play 'Pin the tail on the Greipel'. Calling it, now.

My predictions:
5 chateaux (1 with a moat)
2 cathedrals
4 horses spooked by helicopters
7 cattle drinking from streams
zero hilltowns

Anyone shouted bingo yet?
