tombeej Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Imagine if Sagan had a team built around him. Where he has guys to do the work chasing down breaks, getting him into position while he sits in the wheels for a change. What Degenkolb and Kristoff and the Quickstep and Sky boys have. How many victories would he have already this year? The only other 'lone ranger' who's had to do everything on his own is Spartacus. But that's why he's called Spartacus after all. Nuff said.

rock Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Sagan moveds to the wrong team, any team with a big name GC rider isnt going to work, no matter how many other guys they have, the priority of the team will always be GC. Like Cav at Sky. Sagan needs to be on a Belgian team.Â
Thor Buttox Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 When is this rest day gonna end Not too soon... Froomey needs the rest, I fear. Quinverde, the Shark of Sudden Recoveries, and many others are going to blitz him again and again...
TALUS Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Thank heavens this rest day nonsense is nearly over!!
BeegMig Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Thank heavens this rest day nonsense is nearly over!!Let them "rest", the better their'e "charged" the better the show will be.

TALUS Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Aye.. and I have to remember to set the pvr.. damn school term has started back to activities[emoji24]Freaking reality in all it's daily little crisis. Books, lunch, sport, projects etc.
HappyMartin Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Where is MTN sitting in the team classification?Second by about 21 minutes. Movie star in the lead. Tinkoff third. Amazing showing
GrantRH Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Second by about 21 minutes. Movie star in the lead. Tinkoff third. Amazing showingI thought I read that on the website but was reading it incorrectly. Bloody unbelievable! So proud of those boys and it seems like they have the respect of the peloton for all the hard yards they are putting in.
nochain Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I thought I read that on the website but was reading it incorrectly. Bloody unbelievable! So proud of those boys and it seems like they have the respect of the peloton for all the hard yards they are putting in.So we need Jacques,Louis and Daniel to ride as high up as possible in the mountain stages and EBH,Serge,Stephan and Rynardt to ride high up on the other stages.It is still a possibility because Movistar is focused on GC so they will not waste energy trying to get riders well placed on each stage.
'Dale Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 The fight for podium is gonna be intense TVG would wanna really hang onMovistar would wanna get Nairo into yellow and maybe Valverde on the podium as wellFroome Dawg just need to stay on his bike and avoid one bad day in the saddle to take the maillot jaune home as he is looking rock solid.Maybe Berto can surge too and influence the podiumIt is also possible that G can get close.So many permutations General classification after stage 16  1 Christopher Froome (GBr) Team Sky 64:47:162 Nairo Quintana (Col) Movistar Team 0:03:103 Tejay Van Garderen (USA) BMC Racing Team 0:03:324 Alejandro Valverde (Spa) Movistar Team 0:04:025 Alberto Contador (Spa) Tinkoff-Saxo 0:04:236 Geraint Thomas (GBr) Team Sky 0:05:327 Robert Gesink (Ned) Team LottoNL-Jumbo 0:06:238 Vincenzo Nibali (Ita) Astana Pro Team 0:07:499 Bauke Mollema (Ned) Trek Factory Racing 0:08:5310 Warren Barguil (Fra) Team Giant-Alpecin 0:11:03
Cav' Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Rest Day done, now a few questions for what is to come:1: Is it race over for first? Can anyone catch up with Chris Froome being so far ahead?2: Froome and Quintana look like sure bids for the final podium, yet TJ might be the one that can be displaced off third, what will the final podium look like?3: Who has been most impressive the second week?4: Biggest disappointment so far?5: Sky has seemed more than willing to let the break battle it out for the stage win, will the favourites even battle it out for the stage once in the Alps?6: KOM is still wide open, who will win it?Â
