Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 17:12:35 CEST After that brief moment of panic for Quick-Step Floors, they've regrouped and have six riders together. Gaviria and Declercq have been dropped. GPS still says that they're in with a shout of the victory.
Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 17:14:09 CEST This is the top 10 as it stands with five teams still to finish. 1 BMC Racing Team 0:38:462 Team Sky 0:38:503 Mitchelton-Scott 0:38:554 Team Sunweb 0:38:585 EF Education First-Drapac p/b Cannondale 0:39:216 Katusha-Alpecin 0:39:397 Movistar Team 0:39:408 Bahrain-Merida 0:39:529 AG2R La Mondiale 0:40:0110 Team LottoNl-Jumbo 0:40:02
Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 17:15:10 CEST On the same short rise that Quick-Step had their issues, Peter Sagan is struggling. Bora-Hansgrohe sat up a little bit to let the yellow jersey catch back up.
Gen Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 QS came apart totally and now have it back together and back on the pace. How the hell........They are special that way.. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 17:17:08 CEST Trek-Segafredo sit just out side of the top 10 with their time after giving away 1:16. Further back up the course, Quick-Step Floors shed Richeze to leave them with five. They can only afford to lose one more rider.
Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 17:18:45 CEST BMC Racing are watching nervously in the hot seat. Team manager Jim Ochowicz is there and they can see Julian Alaphilippe make a mistake and he has to chase back on. GPS says the gap is around four to five seconds in BMC's favour. It's going to be very close.
HappyMartin Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Astana did OK. I thought they had totally blown it.
Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 17:20:11 CEST Quick-Step Floors hit the second intermediate and Lampaert is bouncing around a little bit, he's in pain. Terpstra is looking solid at the front as they stop the clock six seconds down on BMC Racing.
Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Respect! 17:21:45 CEST Taylor Phinney spoke to NBC Sports after EF Education First's run. His teammate Lawson Craddock is suffering with a broken scapula but held on until the final three kilometres of the time trial. "He was struggling a lot with the corners when we did the recon because he couldn’t get out of the saddle. To do a TTT at that speed and be able to hang on and push through, he’s shown us all a lot of character. He had a rough year last year, and a lot of teams wrote him off, and he’s worked really hard to come back especially to this race. "This sport tests you in really difficult ways, and to crash like that on the first stage and then push through shows that he really wants it. It gives us a lot of motivation to push through any pain we might be having."
Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 17:23:25 CEST Astana finishes 51 seconds back on BMC Racing. Not great news for Jakob Fuglsang.

Bonus Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 17:25:46 CEST Burghardt goes bang for Bora-Hansgrohe at the second check as does Peter Sagan. He'll be waving goodbye to the yellow jersey.
