Long Wheel Base Posted July 18, 2019 Share By way of chit chat - are these guys on 25c or 30c tyres, 23c ? Or will it differ from day to day ?I highly doubt they on 23c tyres. Min 25c. Had there been cobbles maybe 30c. I think Tony Martins go to width is 26c/28c(I remember reading that in an article about his TT bike when he was still part of the wolfpack so not sure he runs that on the road bike). It also would depend how wide the rim is and if the bike can take something as wide as 30c. I know some teams even go as far as removing the width from the tyre so we/opposition can't see it.

Vetplant Posted July 18, 2019 Share 3 epic days with an ITT thrown in the middle.... Ineos' tactics will be interesting with G and Bernal Neck and NeckThe next 4 days will go a long way in separating the Contenders from the Pretenders. Looking forward to some excitement.

Gen Posted July 18, 2019 Share 3 epic days with an ITT thrown in the middle.... Ineos' tactics will be interesting with G and Bernal Neck and NeckSpoiler alert. Ineos will ride tempo..tempo will be too high for anyone else to even try and attack.. ITT will determine Ineos leader Rinse and repeat[emoji1787] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetplant Posted July 18, 2019 Share Spoiler alert. Ineos will ride tempo..tempo will be too high for anyone else to even try and attack.. ITT will determine Ineos leader Rinse and repeat[emoji1787]Hopefully the guys like EF and Astana will know they can't just follow wheels for a podium finish, and they then play it aggressively somewhere during the next 3 mountain stages.

More likely action from Alaphilippe for the bonus seconds than anyone else if there are still bonus seconds left.[emoji2368] If Nibs it up for it I reckon he may sneak away for the stage win.[emoji1696] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetplant Posted July 18, 2019 Share Wellens and De Gent will both go for the break today!!!Either one of them needs to start some proper work if the PolkaDot is their true aspirations. And today has allot of points on offer to build a lead. Would love to see DeGendt take the Polka to Paris, thoroughly deserving rider. Break could be a mix of Green and Polka points chasers....
