[Lequack]

Do we know how many stages will be shown live?

I think half of them, so 4. Not sure which ones.

 

[Lequack]

Also the DSM devo team is sick.

That's not what I thought the tweet would be about when I first read your post. I thought you were saying they look impressive.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Beat it, pops.

Just downloaded the app. Here it says that stage 1,4,6 and 8 will have live coverage.

Edit: starts two hours from now, 12 noon Kigali time.

[DJ Sprtsch]

Quality footage, but the lack of live race timings ruins it somewhat.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Crash by a Quickstepper, but it wasnt Lecerf.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

In fact Lecerf single handedly pulled the last couple of kms and managed to get best time by more than 30s.

 

[Samamba]

Expected winner.

Also one of the only teams with full TT kit there.

I don't see anyone able to beat Lecerf this week if QS is able to keep control, which won't be easy. Maybe Latour but Total looks horrible this year. Total probably has to play their numbers. They're almost the only teams here with multiple pro's.

The stage did not count towards the GC.

The stage did not count towards the GC.

I know that?

 

[Taxus4a]

It is a pity for Froome the time doesnt counts dor GC...anyway I dont think all the teams crossed the line with 5 riders...so we dont know now the real clasifica, but It doesnt matter...Anyway I think a rider of Soudal will be in yellow.

Yeah a real pitty, finishing more than 5 minutes down.

Froome is retired.

But but but I heard he changed his position on the bike!?!?

It's just getting painful. Some riders suffer from "one year to many". Froome will suffer from "half a decade too many"

Until he wins the Tour with 43 years.

Froome might be a case of someone regretting not retiring in a world where star athletes commonly retire too soon

He's catching €5.5 million a year for cycling around the globe. I very much doubt he has any regrets.

 

[scribers]

They should rebrand israel pt as Haarlem globetrotters and make this their thing

Possible if somehow he gets dropped on stage 1 and the entire peloton rides of a cliff...

We've had over 300 GT's, someone is gonna do a Bradbury sooner or later.
