Gen 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. This just includes the teams that have finished but you can see Van Avermaet will have yellow as things stand while Quintana is now 2:09 back.

Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Sagan is getting ready to roll. Almost certainly his first and last 35km in Yellow . . . .
Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 16:50:22 CEST At the first check, Bahrain-Merida were just 21 seconds back. They're well on their way to the second intermediate. A solid effort from Nibali's team.
Dirt Tracker Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Thomas must be super happy how it's worked out already (and with the cobble ahead) after all his bad luck and Uran has a handy little buffer as well.

Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 16:53:56 CEST Cofidis phoning their team time trial in today and they finish 3:23 back on BMC Racing. They were doing their best to save energy today.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Because he's french and if you're not a sprinter and french then you're a GC contender and then Hinault will come out and scorn you which just makes the fervour more. That said even though Nacer a sprinter anymore you can be allowed to keep him out of the general 'GC'.

Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 16:57:51 CEST Tony Martin leads Katusha-Alpecin through the second intermediate check. They're still 44 seconds down, even with the former time trial world champion. They've got just four men left. They're going to have to lean on Martin a lot here.
