Gen Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Superb initiative by the UCI Was Vos that approached them for it.. glad it worked out.. they should let the ladies race ahead of the men more often. Infrastructure already there.. roads already closes TV coverage already there.
'Dale Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Love him or loathe him, he is a character! How dare he show such disrespect to the maillot jaune!!! Nibs like thinks:"dude, wtf, my new fresh bartape....!"
Slowbee Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 I wonder, I know its the "rules" and some time ago it was an 8 second gap - but imagine a 1 second gap between 1st and 2nd ... the temptation on that last day to just go .....

GC riders won't attack each other, it's a gentleman's agreement. Except of course if the last day is a TT.
Slowbee Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 I know about the gentleman's agreement - but the temptation to stuff the agreement, if there is only one second between 1st and 2nd .....
'Dale Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Ag2r-La Mondiale is also celebrating winning the team classification by posing together for photos.
'Dale Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 !!! The Lotto Belisol riders are also celebrating after the team announced that Soudal will step as the team's new second title sponsor.

But I get you. Imagine a young rider like Pinot doing it. He will of course get sorted out pretty quickly once caught again.
andydude Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Apparently the whole Astana team rocked up at the start with yellow bibs, but ASO sent them to change causing them to miss the start!
'Dale Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Apparently the whole Astana team rocked up at the start with yellow bibs, but ASO sent them to change causing them to miss the start! I think that is not allowed because they weren't best team, right?
'Dale Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 The average speed for the first hour of racing was 32.2km/h. It's going to get much faster very soon.
'Dale Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 The crowds are gathering in the centre of Paris as the kilometres tick down.
andydude Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 I think that is not allowed because they weren't best team, right?Only the yellow (or other shirt winner) can do it. Nibali is riding with yellow bib. Not sure where exactly it is in the rules.
