Pure Savage Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Do you think that in the Tinkoff bus they have by mistake kept the same game plan pinned to the wall of the bus? Peter get in the break Peter sprint for top 5 spot. Peter bike change at 25km to go, do not hit the moto bikeIf I was Sagan, I would have raised my hand in the bus and been, "Uh, Oleg, I think you cray!"

'Dale Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 It's a steadily rising uphill drag today but it's not entirely straight forward - there is scope for a shake-up on the Col de Manse. Going up the category 2 climb won't be too much of a challenge but the descent into Gap will be fast and furious. It's where Andy Schleck pretty much lost the 2011 Tour and where Alberto Contador crashed trying to put time into Chris Froome in 2013. It looks like it will be dry today but it's technical in parts and, with nerves high, some may be caught out.
'Dale Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 We have an intermediate sprint on the menu today after 86.5 kilometres. Will we see the bunch trying to keep things together until then? Here are how things are looking in the race for the green jersey: 1 Peter Sagan (Tinkoff-Saxo) 360 pts2 André Greipel (Lotto Soudal) 316 3 John Degenkolb (Giant-Alpecin) 264 4 Mark Cavendish (Etixx - Quick-Step) 192 5 Bryan Coquard (Europcar) 122
'Dale Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Tony Gallopin is one of the riders out front. He's ninth on GC at 8:24 minutes back, so the peloton may be reluctant to let this group off the leash.
'Dale Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 The escape group has split and there are now 12 riders out front. They are: Andriy Grivko (Astana), Christophe Riblon (AG2R), Peter Sagan (Tinkoff-Saxo) Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal), Simon Geschke, Marco Haller (Katusha), Bob Jungels (Trek), Nelson Oliveira (Lampre-Merida), Ruben Plaza Molina (Lampre-Merida), Daniel Navarro (Cofidis), Pierrick Fedrigo (Bretagne-Seche-Environnement), Serge Pauwels (MTN-Qhubeka)
'Dale Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Behind the lead group there is a group of 16 Michele Scarponi (Astana), Imanol Erviti (Movistar), Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Soudal), Adam Hansen (Lotto-Soudal), Michal Golas (Eitxx-QuickStep), Matteo Trentin (Etixx-QuickStep), Thomas Voeckler (Europcar), Laurent Didier (Trek), Markel irizar (Trek), Pippo Pozzato (Lampre-Merida), Luis Angel Mate (Cofidis), Jan Barta (Bora-Argon), Pierre-Luc Perichon (Bretagne-Seche Environnement), and Edvald Boasson-Hagen (MTN).
'Dale Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Hehehe Racing dynamics: That second group had about half a minute on the bunch, but Gallopin's presence can't have been welcome in the breaks this morning. The Frenchman is dropping back to the peloton.
