nochain Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Well in the absence of Sagan .... Sorry forgot Sagan can do Anything..climb with Froome...beat Cancelara in a TT and outsprint anybody..????????Reality is he has never beaten any of the top guys in the real flat fast stuff!Problem here is with Cav gone..He was not really in it this year anyway, Gorilla is getting old and no Caleb here we basically only have the best of the rest trying to take on the real deal.
Pure Savage Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Also in the four-rider attack are Manuele Mori (UAE Emirates), Maxime Bouet (Team Fortuneo - Oscaro) and Yohann Gène (Direct Energie). Dylan van Baarle is there for Cannondale-Drapac
Pure Savage Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Lets hope its a day for the break, would be special to have a Cannondale win on the 7/7/17

I noticed he launched but ran out of temp quite quickly.
Plentipotential Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Kitten in a league of his own!!Other guys can't even call what they do sprinting with the way he came from the back and just passed them with ease... That was very impressive.
The Bull Shark Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Break will definitely not survive today. Sprinter's teams are not about to give away a freebie today.
@grootlem Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Huge action coming 40km from the end today in crosswinds. Gutter racing can be hell. Stressing for Meintjes who is not good in this type of racing. The Belgium and Dutch are best in this so expect.Lotto's and Quickstep to hurt the others. A GC rider or 2 could lose big today. Also dangerous wrt crashes.

Also dangerous wrt crashes.Whether predictions don't look too hectic w.r.t. the windspeeds. Where is the chatter coming from regarding crosswinds?
Vetplant Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 Cool, good to know. Weather predictions are known to be inaccurate, thus a first-hand feedback from the route is very reliable. Bring on the action
The Bull Shark Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 I checked WindGuru for wind prediction. Some other sources of information seems to underquote the wind speed quite often.
