'Dale Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 DeMare, yesterday's winner and race leader, is also in the front group What a ride by the FDJ power sprinter
'Dale Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 I agree the win is out of Berto's reach, but watch him try!Here we go!Contador and co are making inroads and the gap between them and the head of the race is coming down towards the one-minute mark.
'Dale Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Richie Porte, however, continues to cede ground, and is now over 4 minutes down.
'Dale Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Simon Yates has come back up to the Contador group and he has teammates with him to join the frantic chase.
'Dale Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 RACE ON ???????????????????????????????????? 55 seconds now for the Contador group. There are still 50-odd riders in there, so they have, in theory, double the firepower of the lead group.
'Dale Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 75km remaining from 192.5kmStill a long way to go here and, with more exposed countryside to come, a lot can still happen.
'Dale Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Both Orica and Trek can cooperate here and reduce Sky and Steppers' advantage
'Dale Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Some of the other big names in the Contador group: Ion Izaguirre (Bahrain-Merida), Simon Yates (Orica-Scott), Dan Martin (Quick-Step), Steven Kruijswijk (LottoNL-Jumbo), Jakob Fuglsang (Astana), Michael Matthews (Sunweb).
'Dale Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 30 secs to the chasers ???????????????????? Remember Berto and other GC contenders are still behind on the GC sheet
'Dale Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 1 Arnaud Demare (Fra) FDJ 3:22:43 2 Julian Alaphilippe (Fra) Quick-Step Floors 3 Alexander Kristoff (Nor) Katusha-Alpecin 0:00:09 4 Philippe Gilbert (Bel) Quick-Step Floors 5 Romain Hardy (Fra) Fortuneo - Vital Concept 6 Daniel Martin (Irl) Quick-Step Floors 7 Tony Gallopin (Fra) Lotto Soudal 8 Marco Haller (Aut) Katusha-Alpecin 9 Sergio Henao (Col) Team Sky 10 Rudy Molard (Fra) FDJ
'Dale Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Dan Martin will be the biggest winner here should the chase succeed ☝????☝????☝????Maybe Gallopin too who has good climbing and TT ability
'Dale Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 The Contador group regains contact with the head of the race. And immediately riders start to ping off in attack.
