Cracking ride by the Slovenian Mohuric - gotta get this now

 

[SWSteve]

Looks like it

But at least he has noticed there are no tri bars.

I'm surprised the UCI haven't banned invisible aero bars.

well done mohoric

 

[laurence]

the new Cancellara? that was a stunning ride. what a descender.

 

[VamP]

Great ride by Mohoric. He can't believe it.

 

[rich p]

Superb effort - he looked very Sagan-like!

 

[Stonechat]

Intereseting article in the Times today about Gino Bartali
He won TdF either side of the war and apparently little known fact that he used his celebrity status to get through checkoints on his bike to to deliver messages for the resistance.
Nibalis seems taken by him, he was from Florence
(If I post the link yo cant read as it is subscription service)

i read the book on this, it was very interesting. Bartali seems to have been overlooked due to Coppi, but was an incredible rider, just didn't get to show it due to the war.

After all that, who'd do you reckon for Sunday ?
Gilbert, Sagan, Cancellara ?

Without a team it will be hard for Sagan - Gilbert is my tip.

 

[rich p]

I think Sagan will wing it and win it!

 

[SWSteve]

Sagan wins by bunny hopping the competition when in bunch sprint

You heard it here first

Will Gilbert want another year of being jinxed?

 

[Stonechat]

Think it will be a strong rider still there near the end who goes for it at 1k

 

[Noodley]

I'm going to go with Porte for the win.
