[Aravis]

106 miles and back in time for the stage.

 

[Shadow]

Sounds quite plausible.

Agreed, quite plausible.
Crazy start line? Crazy short stage?
Anything is possible, including not much change on GC.

It is such an unknown quantity, I hope it works to a degree after all the speculation - one thing I do know for sure is I wont be disturbed over the next 3 hours!

 

[Bollo]

David Millar has just described the grid start as a "long lunch decision".

 

[smutchin]

And they're off!

Bernal straight to the front of the peloton.

Most interesting move is Geschke going on the attack.

 

[FishFright]

Well that was pointless, unsurprisingly

 

[User6179]

Well that was pointless!, surprisingly

 

[roadrash]

well didn't that start really make a difference , sky all together after 20 seconds,..... utter bolox.

 

[Beebo]

Well that was pointless, unsurprisingly

What a waste of time. They all looked very bored and then just rolled off.

 

[Crackle]

The stage is still going to be interesting though, never mind the barmy start

 

[smutchin]

Most interesting move is Geschke going on the attack.

...or it would have been if he'd persisted with it for more than a few seconds.

 

[smutchin]

Soler and Valverde in the break.

Is Kangert going for solo glory or setting something up for Fuglsang?

 

[Crackle]

Have Sunweb fired someone up the road? If so, we could see Dumoulin try an attack or it could just be a defensive thing if Froome goes long.

Yeah, Geschke is up there. I thought he'd let himself drift back to the peloton after the initial attacks but he's listed in the break on the live tracker.
