Landis was on Zipps however! ps. she got Luxembourg wrong, they have won not 4 but 5 TDFs(name 2 for a smartie prize), but hey what would a Yates know about this race anyway?

Shebeen Posted July 16 Share looks like Girmay is cool to race on. could make the green jersey interesting, but his lead of 32 points means philipsen would need to do some proper mountain attacking to gain sprint bonus Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eurosport Robbie afterwards drew lines on the screen showing how everyone moved over to the barrier. But ja nee, I don't know no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexterdent Posted July 17 Share So as far as I understand the rules (which might not be a lot), lane deviation is usually only punished if it causes danger to another rider. So you can deviate as much as you want as long as you are lucky/good enough not to have someone close behind you. 2.3.036 Sprints Riders shall be strictly forbidden to deviate from the lane they selected when launching into the sprint and, in so doing, endangering others.

Vetplant Posted July 17 Share Surely the Breakaway will be given this stage, as long as it doesn't contain any GC top10 threats... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altitude to low for Jonas to "try" an attack and Pogacar will probably only defend. The sprinters wont be interested, so yeah, probably a break away stage.

UAE said they would sit on the wheels from now on and watch the race and don't want to risk anything. Therefore I think they'll chase the break all day for a Pogačar stage win.
