GO VAN AVERMAET certainly deserves a first win this season with all his agressiveness. So how did this small group form

Lots and lots of attacks.

Van avermaet is a much more proven sprinter but dont discount gilbert out of the sprint. Remember he beat tom in paris tours 2009

The finish line seems pretty steep to me (at least steep enough for Gilbert to say bye bye if he hasn't lost them yet).

 

[dlwssonic]

**** i guess i missed the exciting and important part of todays stage. GVA for the stage and overall.

Greg isn't sprinting as well as he use to.

oops sorry didnt look at the profile thought it was flat.

I suspect Gilbert of deliberately throwing away power to make the race a little bit more interesting, but even then, it's not

And nice to see good old Bert in great shape again, after 2 knee surgeries last year.

 

[auscyclefan94]

My feed is so ****. Can anyone else help me with theirs?

No, it's a pure Gilbert finish...

No, it's a pure Gilbert finish...

then i guess gva doesnt get his win.

 

[Flamin]

Finish is 600m @ 8-10%

wrong thread... delete...

 

[auscyclefan94]

then i guess gva doesnt get his win.

Look at the upside, he is likely to finish on the podium in his home tour.

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

He did win the uphill bonus sprint against Gilbert, last round

Gilbert has just been a beast all season so far. If he has this form in July I can see him being a major headache for the sprinter's teams.

the finale is another kettle of fish.

He and Canc dividing the sprint stages

 

[Jamsque]

GVA is very very well placed here.

 

[Jamsque]

Too easy for Phil in the end.

 

[auscyclefan94]

GVA is very very well placed here.

GVA just got beaten. Still a nice result for him.

 

[dlwssonic]

not bad sprint by gva in the end no one expected him to beat gilbert in an uphill sprint anyway

 

[Moondance]

Gilbert destroys as expected.

GVA was nowhere.
