Gen Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 I have this love hate relationship with the TTT.. I love watching it but don't like how it plays such a big role in GC. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
Gen Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Okay Not too bad from Bardet...that is manageable gap to Froome Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 16:25:07 CESTAG2R La Mondiale pass a couple of riders from the UAE Team. They're getting a bit ragged, though, with just five riders left. Romain Bardet is hanging on the back as they hit the final kilometre. 16:24:21 CESTTeam LottoNL-Jumbo have lost 43 seconds at the intermediate. That's a lot of time lost for Steven Kruijswijk and Primoz Roglic.
Pure Savage Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 So it looks like Porte and Froome are back with the rest of the GC boys as Movistar and AG2r lose a minute.
Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 16:27:53 CEST That's eight teams finished now. Here are the standings. 1 BMC Racing Team 0:38:462 Team Sky 0:38:503 Mitchelton-Scott 0:38:554 EF Education First-Drapac p/b Cannondale 0:39:215 Movistar Team 0:39:406 AG2R La Mondiale 0:40:017 UAE Team Emirates 0:40:258 Groupama-FDJ 0:40:28
'Dale Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 The margins between the top 3 over 30+ kms Insanely close Wow 1 BMC Racing 00:38:462 Team Sky 00:38:503 Mitchelton-Scott 00:38:55
Gen Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 ???? sunweb losing time early. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 4th this year (1 less rider per team remember)Sent from my SM-G950F using TapatalkYes of course. Doh.
HappyMartin Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Had my doubts about the route this year bust it’s kind of taking shape. When we hit the hilly bits some GC guys are going to be some time back and will be forced to ride aggressively. That could make it very interesting.
Gen Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Let is see if Nibali will be a real GC contender or going for stage wins [emoji39] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
Dirt Tracker Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 This TTT is a great addition in some ways as it's shaking the standings this early in the race with the cobbles still to come. Down side is it is putting a few favourites to the sword very early in the race. Quintana's race is going from bad to worse. Wonder what soundbite we will get from Landa today squeezing lemon into the Colombians GC paper cut.
Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 16:31:12 CEST Team Sunweb pass through the first intermediate check 15 seconds slower than BMC Racing with a time of 14:28. BMC said that they went out slower to have the energy for the final section, can Sunweb make up time in the next section too?
Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 16:33:33 CEST Bahrain-Merida are out on course and taking on that early sharp rise. Vincenzo Nibali has been working on his time trialling and he will want to lose as little time as possible here.
