Frosty Posted July 11, 2019 Share A stage for the sprinters tomorrow, followed by two for the break, before another stage for the sprinters, then a rest day and another sprinter's day out... I don't expect any movement from the GC riders until then. Hopefully Alaphilippe can get the maillot jaune back in this time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselnDust Posted July 11, 2019 Share DED.... Big time gaps! That was a shake up that showed Geraint has Legs!He was sitting on Bernals wheel all day! All it showed is that he is the team leader and No 1 on his back isn't for spek en boen. We'll see how he goes by week 3 ONE, Jewbacca, Pure Savage and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching his positioning in the bunch. Ineos kept him more sheltered while Movistar was pacing. He was behind Bernal all say long while he was often 2nd man. That positioning is telling about ho Ineos regards as the real team leader. But he is looking very sharp for a an who reported to be overweight a month ago and hasn't done any real racing this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted July 12, 2019 Share “The yellow jersey was my childhood dream. Today I made it come true. It’s a beautiful achievement. It’s hard to believe. I was pissed off that I lost the stage win but when I realized that I had the yellow jersey, the feeling of anger passed straight away. It’s wonderful.” Giulio Ciccone Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted July 12, 2019 Share Romain Bardet leaned over his handlebars and stared forlornly at the gravel beneath his front wheel. An AG2R La Mondiale soigneur draped a towel around his neck and then took a step backwards, perhaps wary of intruding on his disappointment. Tim Wellens (Lotto Soudal) offered a consolatory pat on the back as he came past, but Bardet was oblivious, buried in his own distress. Sauce ????

J Wakefield Posted July 12, 2019 Share Was Bernal holding back when Gee went? we will never know .... Brits @ eurosport on the case that said G should be the undisputed leader ... The big mountains will reveal all. No the opposite actually, Thomas was leading him out and he popped and Thomas kept going. This was a talking point last night when I got a run down from a rider post stage on how the day went.

Vetplant Posted July 12, 2019 Share Some surprises for me from the current top 10: -Lots of duo's up there, almost feels like an F1 grid. Modern bike racing means you need to always have two options for GC?1st Ciccone - Trek2nd Appaphillipe DQS3rd Theuns - Bahrain4th Bennet - JV5th Thomas - Ineos6th Bernal - Ineos7th Pinot - FDJ8th Kruiswijk - JV9th Woods - EF10th Uran - EF -Bardet leaking more than a minute on Gee does not bode well for him. -Pinot being the only guy to really match Gee is impressive -4th on the stage(Gee) to 17th(Bennet) separated by only 22 seconds, on such a steep finish, means allot of okes are still in the GC battle. Some just look a little bit more sharp than others. But will it last...? DieselnDust, dsw, Long Wheel Base and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
