dsw Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Tomorrow Mountain time Based on what happened today and also taking into consideration his current form I will not be surprised if Henao moves into yellow tomorrow.
'Dale Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 "I had a small idea about trying something, but it all depended on how I felt and the conditions. It got to the moment and I said to myself 'why not? I haven't got anything to lose so if I get caught I get caught'. So I tried, and I'm just happy it worked out..." Yates
Gen Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Will try catch the repeat later.. can only PVR one channel at a time and Sagan got preference over in Italy[emoji6] Hubby watched and has basically given me a km by km race report. But want to see it with my own eyes[emoji39]
Rocket-Boy Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I really like Alaphilippe, he has so much potential for the future.Seems like a fun kid too.

Wonder if quick step will have the youngster ride for Martin? Not sure if 1:40 is enough for the youngster over contador. Sergio is looking good thanks a lot to his team mates.

'Dale Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Alberto Contador has made a career out of pick-pocketing his rivals. Through tactical guile, unrivaled panache, and pure ambition, the 34-year-old pistolero has more than a few times upended the script and came up spades when logic would say ride for the podium. In fact, when you look at Contador’s grand tour record, he’s never finished on a podium that wasn’t the top step. In 16 grand tour starts (not counting his Tour debut in 2005 with 31st, and the, eh-hem, 2010-11 parenthesis), he’s either won, or finished fourth or fifth in the ones he finished. No seconds, no thirds. It’s a remarkable record that reveals how Contador is a rare rider who will throw caution to the wind, and actually risk all to attack to win.So as Paris-Nice digs across the unpredictable terrain of Provence and the Maritime Alps packed with 15 rated climbs in the next three stages, does Contador have one more raid up his sleeve?

GrumpyOldGuy Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Today didn't really suit 'Berto but tomorrow should. I dont think he is in top form but I am pretty sure he wont be sunning himself at the back either and a stage win would be good for the morale. I expect him to attack. That said, I enjoyed the way Yates took the bull by the horns and just rode off, no one was prepared to chase in earnest and he won convincingly.
