Tour de France 2015 - may contain nuts and SPOILERS

[HF2300]

He was in a small group of stragglers with Demare, Sieberg and Farrar, so perhaps not a surprise

...and another 5 KOM points for Rodriguez

Renshaw has abandonned

Just saw this on the Le Tour site. Does this mean our favourite gorilla will win the sprint on sunday as Cav's top lead out man has gone? Or does it mean Cav might go solo relying on his innate racing brain and take the win?

I didn't think it possible but the adverts are getting worse on ITV4 web.

It's only been one stage, but Cav seems to have done better relying on his sprint skills than a formal leadout. Probably depends how Cav feels as well, bearing in mind he's been ill.

Thanks to Jens for that "attacking lunch pad"

Cav is clearly still thinking about Paris, or he'd probably already have quit. And I think Renshaw being out will affect his chances significantly. The finale is a long straight open road, not one of the those tricky technical finishes and so a strong train helps a lot.

Does anybody else think that Froome is looking like he's fighting his bike more than normal? Struggling a bit today?

 

[jarlrmai]

Not really looks like his usual style to me, we'll find out on that HC

 

[coffeejo]

Only seen him in the footage for a few seconds.

Sagan in the grupetto?

Not surprised, he's done 4/4 breakaways. (or is it 3/3?)

I'm not sure there's a suggestion he isn't, or I'm sure we'd have heard - but his chances will depend whether he's fit or not. Assuming he is fit, he's shown in the past he's capable of winning from rival's wheels, so while it might reduce his chances, it's by no means certain.

He's probably just depressed because he heard you don't like him
