I'm pretty sure he said Contador and Flecha are doing some stuff/commentary.I think Wiggins is due back later on.

Love JA Flecha, his recons are ace.

I'm on the beer/having an important business meeting this afternoon so will miss what should be an exciting stage

What says the CC massive? Loads of breakaway guys will be eying this one. Will the GC guys let Alaphallipe into the break (in which case he is one of the favourites)?

I refer the honourable gentleman to the answer I gave earlier.
And stop calling me massive. I'm simply carrying a few pounds overwight.

There not likely to let Allaphillipe go,also QS aren't likely to want anyone else take the jersey !
So I don't see it being a breakaway /GC.More Sagan,Van Aert sort of finish.
Highlights for me this week...work !

You're probably right but Wellens, TdG, Cummings etc are 11 mins down so aren't a threat to yellow.

Over Wight. You're a blimp?

Breakaway. ITV4 reckon Cummins is getting over something, so unlikely to figure. Wellens is a safe bet to be in the breakaway, dunno who else.

You're probably right but Wellens, TdG, Cummings etc are 11 mins down so aren't a threat to yellow.

Your probally right,I'm usually not ! I just think everyone is still edgy,how many chances are there really for stage wins until teams start trying to control this race.
Quick step I think are going to want to hold onto the jersey for as long as they can.I can't see them not trying for today's stage

Sagan by a head, You can't keep a good man down for long!

 

[brommers]

Thought that it would be really good, but at the end of the day it was pretty boring.

 

[Dogtrousers]

Remind me, what is he doing there?

 

[nickyboy]

Thought that it would be really good, but at the end of the day it was pretty boring.

Seems I made the right decision to go to the pub for a "meeting"

 

[steven1988]

The most impressive thing about today is wout van aert being up there again, wonder how he will fair once the ups start

 

[Adam4868]

Expected win by Sagan and he delivered.Tommorows the day to bunk of work.

Pinot either being enigmatic, lacking ambition or playing down the speculation. Take your pick. I can't imagine the other GC contenders saying this...

..."It's not an obsession," Pinot admitted to L'Équipeon the eve of this year's race. "I like my life as it is at the moment. It's the life I dreamt of and if I win the Tour de France, I won't have this life anymore. Do I want to change my life? No."

 

[rich p]

First big test on the hills today.
Hopefully it will be a good scrap and they won't just mark each other.
You can't win it today but you can lose it etc etc.
Bernal, Pinot and YatesA 1,2,3
Maybe.
