Eugene Oppelt Posted May 12, 2017 Author Posted May 12, 2017 Stage 7 According to the road book: The final kilometres are fairly complex, as the route runs partly on wide and straight roads, and partly on city roads marked by series of bends and partial narrowings. From 5 to 1.5 km to the finish, the route runs mostly uphill, with a short descent that ends 700 m before the finish. The route climbs slightly in the stage finale, with a few mild bends. The finish line sits on a 100-m long and 7.5-m wide asphalt straight.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 12, 2017 Author Posted May 12, 2017 It's happened again. Just minutes into the stage and three riders have clipped off the front and already established a 1'30 lead over the peloton.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 12, 2017 Author Posted May 12, 2017 On the move we have: Fonzi (Wilier Triestina), Ponzi (CCC) and Kozonchuk (Gazprom). They have two minutes on the peloton already.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 12, 2017 Author Posted May 12, 2017 ⚠️ 185km remaining from 224kmMechanical for Ponzi and that leaves just Kozontchuk and Fonzi out front after 39km of racing. The bunch aren't letting them go above three minutes.
Eugene Oppelt Posted May 12, 2017 Author Posted May 12, 2017 The status quo remains as we see the break toiling to keep their lead intact. The gap holds at 3'50 with 154km to go.
T-Bob Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 Jeez... this stage is hard work for the commentators. 49km to go and they have essentially had a subject bonk.

HappyMartin Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 Insane skills watching the guys in these technical sprint finishes.
HappyMartin Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 That was an incredible sprint by Caleb Ewan. I was sure he had gen too early but he must have memorized that finish.
HappyMartin Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 I'm increasingly impressed by Ryan Gibbons. Always up there. Getting a 6th in that chaos is marvelous.
