Gen Posted July 8, 2018 Share I don’t know what happened really,” Cavendish told ITV and Cyclingnews at the finish of stage 1.“We [the team – ed.] lost each other really. The wind was playing and was a factor in the end, not enough to split it, but it caused a bit of chaos and we were at the wrong end of that chaos. We were too far back to even do anything. That’s it. We’ll try again.”Quick-Step have dominated the sprints this season, while Sagan has won Paris-Roubaix and a stage at the Tour de Suisse to name but two highlights. The depth of the sprint field is as good as ever this year, with Marcel Kittel and André Greipel also proven winners eager to make their mark. When asked if he had seen enough on stage 1 to determine whether he could be competitive, Cavendish replied: “I don’t know. It’s going to be hard pushed to beat Bora and Quick-Step in any sprints this year. I can’t really say why, but there’s obviously next year.” Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted July 8, 2018 Share The worst part so far of TDF has been the “avid” supporters that are boycotting this year but then spend 95% of their time not watching but tweeting/commenting about not watching it ????????♂️????????♂️????????♂️A phenomenon called The Anti-FanExcessively critical, sceptical, cynical and highly obsessed with the bad, the dubious and the negative aspect of this beautiful sport. Don’t hang out with them. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted July 8, 2018 Share Bardet and Nibs will be relieved that they have tens of seconds on the stronger TT teams like Michelton’, Sky and BMC Movistar is in relative trouble now with their leadership trio. Valverde often struggles at altitudeQuintana has lost a bag of seconds And Landa is often individualistic Bring on Stage 2 ???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred van Vlaanderen Posted July 8, 2018 Share I have dstv but I'm out of the country and it doesn't work outside of SA and I also don't have a VPNI always check on steephill.tv and cyclingfans. Normally loads of links that work and some that don't. Just search on both pages for the various links. http://www.cyclingfans.com/ http://www.steephill.tv/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
