Wez-O Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Unlikely.It's a sprinters' feast today.Too flat I reckon.A potential snooze fest... Apart from the beautiful French countryside and coastline which is always a treat.
T-Bob Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Just saw the average yesterday was a new tour record. 57.8kph for the stage. Â Nice.
andydude Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 So Daryl needs to finish at the same/similar time as the winners and 10 places ahead of Gerrans to snatch the yellow jersey.Any chance of this happening, taking into account the fact that generally in a sprint finish Daryl should fare better against Cav & Greipel than Gerrans... How does the new positioning system work? It was always that if you're ahead in position and just finish in the same bunch (even last) you keep your position.
'Dale Posted July 3, 2013 Author Posted July 3, 2013  A potential snooze fest... Apart from the beautiful French countryside and coastline which is always a treat. The last 20 kms are always intense.Don't blink.Watch out for Lotto's speed train.
Gnarly Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Its hot today! Someone call the SPCA, looks like she is strangling a frog.

dracs Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) How does the new positioning system work? It was always that if you're ahead in position and just finish in the same bunch (even last) you keep your position.If on the same time, count back determines position by adding the sum of finishing positions on all stages. At the moment Daryl is 41 and Gerrans 32Â Daryl - 11+8+22 = 41Gerrans - 15+16+1 = 32 Edited July 3, 2013 by dracs andydude 1
'Dale Posted July 3, 2013 Author Posted July 3, 2013 If on the same time, count back determines position but adding the sum of finishing positions on all stages. At the moment Daryl is about 42 and Gerrans 32 I think Aaaah, the SUM of total finishes.Subtle.Thanx, dracs.
Meezo Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 If on the same time, count back determines position by adding the sum of finishing positions on all stages. At the moment Daryl is 41 and Gerrans 32 Daryl - 11+8+22 = 41Gerrans - 15+16+1 = 32 More confused now thanks? What's the numbers? Their finishing position?
Wez-O Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 More confused now thanks? What's the numbers? Their finishing position?Basically all you need to know is that to take yellow, Daryl must finish 10 places ahead of Gerrans today Meezo 1
Meezo Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Basically all you need to know is that to take yellow, Daryl must finish 10 places ahead of Gerrans today  Great!!! What time racing starts?
dracs Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 More confused now thanks? What's the numbers? Their finishing position?yes! Its not that complicated - time rules, and if riders can't be separated on time then the sum of their finishing positions on stages separates them.

dracs Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) Great!!! What time racing starts?they're already about 45k's in I think. Last I heard a break was away with a decent gap. of over 10 minutes Edited July 3, 2013 by dracs
dracs Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 yea what the heck did he think...yes yes I know i couldnt have gone for 1st and so, but ending SO far back when he was leading the sprint out.... I was like Ja but he's all about the team - I don't think he had much left after his lead out sprint, but at that point he maybe forgot about the subsequent yellow possibilities... sure he could have pushed on just a little after Gerrans kicked
gadget Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Read that Cav's got flu and is on antibiotics....I also once saw Lance Armstrong looking sick an it ended up in "The Look".
