kosmonooit Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Mm not sure hey... Ashley does looks a bit smaller than Van Vleuten though... but looks can be deceiving on the bike. cf http://teamhitecproducts.no/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/20140301_3007.jpg Not sure of their height but look about the same build to me And not to take anything away from Ashley good result .. but this Annemiek is a true phenomenon, on another level as the Ninja would say.
J Wakefield Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Would these guys not have been better off on a aero frame road bike with TT bars and disc wheel. Looks like it'll come down to that hill for the winner today.This course suits Froomy very well. Don't blame Tony for all the complaining about this course. I thought of that also but then you lose on the flats with a none TT set up and climb with a heavier bike when you meant to be making up time? Seems like a no win to me but I may be wrong.

Seems like a no win to me but I may be wrong.You going to lose in a bike change. Going to lose on the climb on a TT bike Going to lose with a road bike/TT set. Just to find the sweet-spot with the least loss.. Let's see what the top guys decide
HappyMartin Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 The increasing rain is going to hurt the top guys that are starting at the end of the field.
gummibear Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Wow what a ride by Tommy[emoji15][emoji15]
Jewbacca Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Nice little Pink and Rainbow jersey double this year... What a champ Bring on Sunday... yoh!
gummibear Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Geez how's that tackle by the security staff [emoji3][emoji3]
Vetplant Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Loved the shoulder charge of the police on that red runner! I would be happy to watch the Sky train going through France if their police would execute such brilliant tackles live on TV! PS. Tommy D you beauty! I really hope he targets Le Tour in 2018.

Jurgens Smit Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 PS. Tommy D you beauty! I really hope he targets Le Tour in 2018. Sky going to have their work cut out for them come TDF. Especially if Porte can get into his level of form again.. Just imagine, Froome vs Tom D vs Porte vs Whomever else looks good at the time.
