Eneco Tour 11 - 18 August 2013 **spoilers**

[VamP]

Jessie Sergant (sp?) has taken 5+ seconds out of Wiggo's time. Some of Wiggo's cornering did look a bit sketchy though.

I didn't see Wiggo's ride but that surprised me.

I didn't see Wiggo's ride but that surprised me.

Me too but he did seem to be turning too early, checking, and re-turning into corners.

 

[smutchin]

Is he still getting to grips with the Bolide? Better now than in the Worlds, I suppose.

It was a short TT with 9 tight corners - I'm not totally surprised the course didn't suit Wiggins given it's stop start nature - I'm happy Chava won too

 

[Strathlubnaig]

Worlds has few corners and nae descents, so Wiggins should cope, just.

Exciting racing today, anyone watching?

Just watched the highlights. Good racing. Nice win for Lopez.

Stannard to make it two in a row for Sky today?

Can Stybar nick the overall?

Slightly odd seeing the cobbles in blazing sunshine.

Nice attack from Stannard - I really like that guy.

 

[smutchin]

Me too. Thought the break was done for but he's breathed new life into it. Really hope he can go all the way.

He'll have to shake off Greipel if he wants to win the stage though.

Greipel managed to stay with him on that little climb, but only just.
Hope Sky let Stannard off the leash next season.

Just turned on. Another exciting race today! Dumoulin has no support up front.

 

[smutchin]

Allez Yogi!

 

[raindog]

Dumoulin has no support up front.

A Dutchman with a French name, what else can we expect?

 

[VamP]

I wonder what OPQS are planning. They have options here!

 

[smutchin]

Great move by Stybar!
