Gen 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?A big gap that.. they may make up some time but I don't think too much.

Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 16:36:05 CEST Five teams left to start with Trek-Segafredo next off the ramp. They're down on rider already after Tsgabu Grmay crashed out over the weekend.
Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 16:37:46 CEST Geraint Thomas was in with a shout of yellow if Sky had won today. This is what he said after finishing his effort earlier. "Altogether we rode well, especially with - there was a lot going on there, even though there weren’t many corners, there was changes in direction with the wind, climbs and descents and everything. I think we rode decent," said Thomas. "There are always changes in direction, and it was a bit gusty. Obviously it’s not just one gradient, either. You’re having to really change your turns depending on where you are on the course. It certainly favours the teams that can ride well technically, and that are quite even as well. It was decent for us, but it’s a bit frustrating because I felt like I could have had a bit more in the tank by the end. Every TTT I’ve done, we’ve always been there or thereabouts. Obviously there have been a few in the Grand Tours where we’ve been a bit less than you’d expect, but in the Tour we’ve always been top three."

Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 16:41:03 CEST Astana set off. They are also a rider down after Luis Leon Sanchez suffered a horrible crash that left him with a broken elbow and four broken ribs.
Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Have a feeling the tv graphics may have gone loco . . .
Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 16:45:32 CEST Team Sunweb has made up two seconds between the two checks but they are still 13 seconds behind BMC Racing at the moment.

@grootlem Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Boom BMC and my man Van Avermaet could be in yellow
Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 16:46:22 CEST LottoNL-Jumbo have lost 1:15 on the line and that is a big blow for their GC challenge.
Dirt Tracker Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 6:44:00 CESTMy colleague Laura has been pounding the calculator and pulled together this look at the GC.
