is he going to continue?

 

Between losing 16min and eina fingers there goes any hope of white jersey points[emoji17]

 

Did you see why he has broken fingers...rode into the back of the BMC car that suddenly stopped

sjoe...would be nice to see a view of that from further away.but i suppose if you're going to motorpace cars in the cavalcade eventually your number will be up.

 

which 2 fingers? with electronic shifting and (give him a) disc brake

No clue.. he says he is fine to continue.. bit of inexperience maybe.. don't draft a team car on the cobbles because they often have to quickly stop..think the BMC car had to stop because of the ambo in front of it?

Don't be surprised if BMC defend that jersey for a few more days.

Struggling to see GvA finishing with the GC guys on the first stage after the rest day. Perhaps Jungles will effectively be in Yellow after the first climb and his team will try to ride for him...

damn

9 guys dropped out in this first week, and I'm sure like me many people had richie on their squad. With Bling out as well, my picks are quite easy. The only other guy to leave that would really affect things is das panzerwagen, but doubt many people would have had him in for week2 anyway

 

 

 

505 guys picked him on the first week which was not for the GC guys, not sure how many more had him on the bench too.

got to feel for the 6 people who have picked him already for week 2

totally agree with you.

but short of options, I'm going to pick him anyway!

 

the one thing GVA did do well, is make sure that teamleader #2, TJ was out of the GC running about 1 hour after his elevation to that status

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]TJ did that all by himself...how many time didn't we see him go down.

No way GVA getting over that stage profile in the lead GC group. 

well one can live in hope.

 

uh mean in 2016 Stage 7, he was in the yellow jersey with a 5 min lead on the GC contenders when this came along

Steve cummings won from the break, GVA took 40 seconds off the GC crowd

until the next day and then this

Only 1 sprint stage in week 2. I can only go down from here

that’s not a Sprint stage it’s a winning long range breakaway stage
