Eugene Oppelt Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Five riders are clear of the newly formed peloton by around 25 seconds. They are Bystrom, Gallopin, Wynants, Sarreau and Siskevicius. Gilbert is trying to bridge the gap.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 The GC riders behind will be somewhat worried about Gallopin being in that group. The Frenchman is a serious threat if they make some good time on them.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 41km remaining from 192.5km Sareau has suffered a puncture and lost contact with the leaders. Now just 5 riders up front.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 The riders are heading through some wide open countryside and can see Gilbert up the road but he's making time on them and they string into a long line as they try to chase him down. 36 seconds now for the Belgian champion.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Awesome attack from the Belgian champ Pain etched across his face ????
Cav' Posted March 6, 2017 Author Posted March 6, 2017 Would be great if ol' long forgotten Gilbert can get another WT win.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Wynants chased And then waved the white flag Gilbert reaching for stage glory with 15 kms to go 45 secs advantage
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Would be great if ol' long forgotten Gilbert can get another WT win.YikesHe went long-range And the pack of wolves is chasing hard His enemy now are the crosswinds ????????
Cav' Posted March 6, 2017 Author Posted March 6, 2017 YikesHe went long-range And the pack of wolves is chasing hard His enemy now are the crosswinds [emoji51][emoji51]Some seriously *** weather that side.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Some seriously *** weather that side.Makes for good viewing as I sip on my ginger tea on my fluffy coach ????
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Race situation This is a very determined effort from Gilbert and he's doing well to hold off the peloton to a certain extent. Quick-Step Floors also have Kittel in the peloton so they've got two very good cards to play at the moment. Kittel will have a very relaxed finish if Gilbert can keep this going. It's still 44 seconds now as Katusha lend FDJ a hand.
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Still windy out there How many matches does Gilbert have ????
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Headwind knocking back the Belgian champ Not looking good Especially as there's cooperation in the chase
Eugene Oppelt Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Eina effort there by GilbertThe headwinds....
