Mntboy Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 Grey skies and low cloudredolent of Jacques Brel hangover the Tour de France oncemore, but the rain looks to beholding off for the time being. - CN commentary. I only know who Brel is because of my mom's love of the music of Laurika Rauch who did an album full of his songs. So the mood's a bit glum, apparently. Sent from my GT-S6790 using Tapatalk

tombeej Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 OK so my prediction of a super fast start (with lots of attacks) was completely wrong . I hope I'm not going to end up 0 - 2 with my Quick-Step win prediction.They will be thinking they 'lost' the first stage, so they'll be extra motivated for todays win. Julian Alaphilippe... Petr Vakoc... Dan Martin.... Let's see if they can beat Sagan, Valverde or GVA in a head-to-head hill sprint. Or maybe someone sneaks away from an attack at the bottom of the climb while all the big names watch each other.... (Spartacus).
Eugene Oppelt Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 Dan The Man gunning for GCMay aim to use his explosiveness to get a grip on yellowLet's see.... The last 30 mins is gone be intense ????
Bonus Posted July 3, 2016 Author Posted July 3, 2016 I quite like the Sky kit. Perhaps I should get myself a fourth Jersey - in case the washing machine ever breaks ;-)
Eugene Oppelt Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 35km remaining from 182km The break's lead drops inside the four-minute mark. The race is back on wet roads again, even if more rain is holding off for the time being.
Eugene Oppelt Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 IAM Cycling and Direct Energie are leading the peloton, but delegations from Movistar - supporting Quintana for GC and Valverde for the stage win - and Tinkoff - supporting Contador for GC and Sagan for the stage win - are moving up just behind them.
tombeej Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 At this rate the winner is going to come from the break. Advantage Stuyven.
Eugene Oppelt Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 17km remaining from 182km The trio of escapees are putting up stout resistance here, and they're still holding a lead of 2:55 over the peloton. They're riding with a considerable degree of belief...
Eugene Oppelt Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 Another mechanical for Gee at a most inopportune time and he is chasing back on through the convoy of team cars, 30 seconds behind the peloton.
Benjamin Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 Can't see the break getting caught from here. Surprising
Eugene Oppelt Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 These narrow twisty turns will favour the break, tombeej #panic_in_peloton
tombeej Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 Jeez, Rohan Dennis has a big motor. His turn on the front was at 70 km/h. Hells bells.
Gen Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 These narrow twisty turns will favour the break, tombeej #panic_in_pelotonJa nee.. they definitely messed this up.
Eugene Oppelt Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 Ian Stannard hits the front of the peloton for Team Sky, with Froome tucked in behind in fourth position.
