What a dumb route

This.

I just saw it and it is really awful!
Just a warm up for the Tour.

Re:

Didn’t get to watch today, but read somewhere Astana was down to 4 pretty early, with only Kangert, Cort and Gatto able to keep up?

They must hope Valgren and Cataldo can help right the TTT ship at the Tour, because otherwise that is a real problem...... the TTT at the Tour is twice as long.

They're riding for Fuglsang. I highly doubt any time they lose in the TTT is going to amount to much in the grand scheme of things.

Would there have been a TTT without one being in TdF? Good for a training camp though!

You would have though that a country with the Alps in it could come up with a better route, but all those Fat Cats in the exclusive Cantons don't want the hoi polloi blocking off the roads and messing up their view!

So, this is a sprint stage? Because it doesn't quite look flat to me. Maybe that's just the profile though.

Re: Re:

This is Team Sky B Team

More like C Team

Maybe it was Sky B Team, maybe Sky C Team. But yes, it was disgusting to see that Movistar was better.
Nevertheless, at TdF TTT the gap should be like at CdD, Sky A Team ca. 1:30 better than Movistar.

Yes, I hope he win it.

It's not for the Mareczkos and Pelucchis of the world but the sprinters present here should be able to cope with the terrain.

Just beating Gaviria in the sprint

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Revenge for ToC

 

[Akuryo]

Gaviria fcked that up by going with 300 to go.

 

[Netserk]

I thought he had lost it when he lost Bling's wheel in the bend. Another long one from Gaviria.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Gaviria clearly the fastest, but launching way too early again

Re:

Clearly and clearly. Sagan didn't get his wheel immediately so it did demand an effort from him too.

Really? Sagan looked faster today.
