Between Yates, Zakarin and Fuglsang (throw Quintana in there but I never expected much) I don't know who I am more disappointed by.

 

The Movistar 'trident' or DD for letting Omar F leave the team a bit back. On DD, is EVB at this years race? Serious Q.

What a hectic first 100 km's of racing! Break after break being pulled back by the peleton. Going to be a lot of sore bodies spread over the Col de Menté and Col du Portillon later this afternoon.

I'm banking on a Pierre Latour win today.... Or Yates because I dropped him from my fantasy team.

 

I think Demare is tickets. 

 

Paris is starting to look like a very lonely sprint for Sagan (provided he makes it!)

He just lost the intermediate sprint!

 

But in the race? Nah... he is AT the race

Maybe a silly question...

But, at what point does a break become a split peloton?

30 seconds?
