gummibear Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 Our spot for today and my direction board that's going home with us [emoji3][emoji15][emoji6]
Pure Savage Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 I walked the race/ track and it was extremely wet on the day. I'm surprised not more riders came off, some of those corners were fairly hectic.Watching the spectators videos do you then only realize just how fast the guys were flying in the wet. The cameras on the moto's do not do it justice.
Long Wheel Base Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 DSTV mobile app for the win. WALKA broken so this must suffice.177.2km to go. break have 1m44s
Pure Savage Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 Instead of a like button, I wish there was a jealous button. Would click that multiple times.
Velouria Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 Very worrying, Astana was slacking, did not get the stage win. I think we should take into account that the majority of riders falling were from dryer regions, Spain, Australia etc, and the winner grew up in Wales, known for their long hot summers. Sometimes the conditions just are in your favour. Geraint lives in Monaco. Chris's youth is well documented, and didn't involve living or riding in Wales. So what's the story with this photo? German rain is different, and the Swiss speak German, and BMC is Swiss, therefore those that have no German connection all fell over in the German rain?
Caerus Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 100%. It was the same when I walked the F1 track in Monte Carlo, unless you seeing it live you can't get a real feel for what they are experiencing. I take my hat off to all the riders that day.Watching the spectators videos do you then only realize just how fast the guys were flying in the wet. The cameras on the moto's do not do it justice.

Velouria Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 Bell Pottinger is that you? Yup (well spotted) - we've been tasked with trying to make cycling more believable now...

I was talking about stage 1 where 2 spaniards went home. I don't think Gee grew up and learnt to ride in Monaco. BMC caused the above crash and knocked over the rest of the okes. You can see that team sky have been training their riders on how to fall, look at both Froome and Thomas perfectly braced and in the same position. Thats a real marginal gain that AG2R, BMC and FDJ have missed.
Gen Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 They are keeping a close eye on the break away, only once have I seen it go over than 2min. .and it was very brief.. peloton not taking chances today.. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Personally I'd have suspected faulty glue.....
gummibear Posted July 3, 2017 Posted July 3, 2017 Headwind is blowing at around 35km/h where we sitting. Sun is out and roads dry[emoji106]

What's funnier is that that corner has Bostik Adhesives sponsor
