Eugene Oppelt Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 “With regards to the sprint yesterday, unfortunately these things happen in cycling, especially in the chaotic finale of the sprint. But just know there are no hard feelings between Peter and I, we are friends and he came to apologise after and he called me in the evening as well. So that’s the measure of the man he is, and I know he is a great world champion, he is great for the sport and I think we will both be missed on the Tour de France in the final and by our teams.” Cav', on his relationship with Sagan
lechatnoir Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Seems that DD are going backwards quite quickly. Of is it just me that thinks so? I'm hoping that Steve Cummings gets a chance to show off at some stage...
SwissVan Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Seems that DD are going backwards quite quickly. Of is it just me that thinks so? I'm hoping that Steve Cummings gets a chance to show off at some stage...Other than Cav, DD seem to time their sprint efforts km or so to early
The Bull Shark Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Other than Cav, DD seem to time their sprint efforts km or so to early The pure sprinters was always going to win today's sprint, regardless of the timing of BH's acceleration. They just had way too much speed in the last 50 meters. The best option for DD is a group effort in a breakaway group on a day that the peloton will not be interested in chasing them down, like a slightly hilly day after a big mountain stage where the pure sprinters will not have a change to keep up with the pace.
Bonus Posted July 6, 2017 Author Posted July 6, 2017 Would be good to see Steve in a break again. Then he can sail past the others while they fight about who should "lead out" and win another stage :-)
Mongoose! Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Other than Cav, DD seem to time their sprint efforts km or so to earlyLooked more like a lead out... for Cav.... who was not there....haha, maybe they forgot about Cav at that piont

Long Wheel Base Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Other than Cav, DD seem to time their sprint efforts km or so to earlyI have no idea what EBH was thinking there. Only thing I can come up with is he thought the final was more technical and he could pull a bora/lucas Giro stage 1 victory. But kudos for trying as those last few kms where hectic and not for the faint hearted. He may be a bit older than most of the guys but he always gives 101%

He may be a bit older than most of the guys but he always gives 101% Perhaps banking on some confusion or a crash. At least they gave it a shot. I would've expected that they go with Renshaw as their best bet in a sprint.
