Is it the new Cannondale TT bike?EF back to astonishing TT form from early 2019.
Scully had only one top100 result this season so far.
For Rutsch it's first top10 as a pro.
What happened to Chaves? I know he sucks at TT but not this much. I didn't watch so I am not sure if he had a problem.
Thanks.
i think eurosport favours Roland GarrosAre British Eurosport covering this race live at all? Only thing on their schedule seems to be an hour at about 7/8pm once a day. Can't see anything in the live hours at all

I only think it's available live through ES player/GCN Race Pass.
Ya, I've ES player and I can't see it live on that at all. I can get it not on TV cos of Roland Garros but was surprised it wasn't on the player.
I'm in Ireland so will have UK Eurosport so anyone else seeing it there?
Sivakov was riding very carefully. The roads were wet and I don't blame him for being extra cautious.In the U23's Sivakov and Leknessund were top-tier ITT'ers. Here they get slapped around by half the peloton. WTF. Before joining DSM, Leknessund beat Foss a few times and managed 13th in the WCC ITT, and won the U23 EU champs ahead of Bissegger. What is DSM doing with these kids? Van Wilder is losing his ability to climb, Leknessund can't TT anymore. I think they're sapping these guys' powers to infuse Benoot!

I have now checked the GCN schedules and th erace is listed on the UK one, but not on the one for Ireland, so I assume it's the same for ES player.
LoL.One week stage races aren't his speciality, and there are 2 TT's which doesn't play in his cards either, so I'm not certain he is a clear favourite. If you just look at Ineos, it might suit Dennis a lot more.
Where did Dumoulin and TDF suddenly come from?LoL.
Carapaz better than Dumoulin is funny but not so important. Nowadays Dumo is so ridiculous that has no impact onTdF.

What are you talking about? Dumo just came back to riding again after some time.LoL.

Cattaneo the best TTer among Lefevere's sheep herd.
DSM is just a terrible, terrible org. I really dislike that team and all their stupid rules - they treat their riders like robots.In the U23's Sivakov and Leknessund were top-tier ITT'ers.

No way Alaphippe contest GC. Maybe until Ventoux, heck maybe until the Pyrenees, but I cannot see a world where Alaf is top-5, barely top 10 even. And thats probably not worth it compared to the stages he could get.My money is on Vansevenant pulling an upset in this race.
I think he will do a top 10 - maybe even top 5 - and get a late selection for the Tour, despite being a rookie.
If Alaphilippe is doing GC at the Tour, they are short on climbers.

Its all Red Ricks fault If he didn't love the tennis so much we might get coverage. At least this year French Open didn't clash and cut into the Giro coverage.i think eurosport favours Roland Garros
