peasy23 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Excellent KOM tactics todayYep, thought Dan Martin was going to get caught but he had just enough to hold on. Sore one for Dumoulin losing about a minute after having a puncture. Geraint Thomas up to second after he picked up a couple of bonus seconds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Briggs Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Very long stage tomorrow, 231 km. It should be another Gaviria-Sagan duel but Greipel has a chance. Looking forward to Roubaix on Sunday. The cobbles could have a huge impact on the GC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Brilliant finish by Groenewegen to win the stage. And same again today.Tomorrow's stage could be a cracker on the cobbles, and it's scheduled to be finished before the football kicks off at 4pm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Badly timed crash for Dan Martin, losing more time on GC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Porte's out! Crashed before the pave. Looks like his collarbones gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Porte's out! Crashed before the pave. Looks like his collarbones gone.That's tragic. He looked like being a major threat to Froome, was in fantastic form and obviously had that massive crash last year too. Poor guy can't catch a break. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Never seen a bumpy stage like this before, are they using hybrid bikes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Sensational stage today, one of the best in several years, hats off to ASO for how they've set up this first week of the tour 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Fantastic win for Degenkolb. Pretty emotional considering, the team being nearly wiped out, having been hit whilst out training a year or so ago & his chances of racing agin being predicted as slim to zero. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Briggs Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Roubaix is always carnage. Sorry to see Porte crash out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I'm more disappointed to see Tony Martin out than Porte. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 First mountain stage underway, and we've already had a multiple pile up in the neutral zone with Landa on the deck again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnash Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Fantastic win for Alaphilippe, blowing away the break. And the maillot jaune in the break too, extending his lead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F_T_Y Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Alaphillpipe was terrific right from the start, he was the one trying to get a break formed from the get go. Noble effort from van avermaet, great respect shown to the yellow jersey, could have easily sat out the back and let the sky train pull him along but he went out on the attack and increased his lead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Sometimes it can be very difficult to believe what you are watching. Thomas breaks away from Froome, Bardet, Quintana, Martin etc to catch Neive on the final climb to win the stage and go into yellow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Jo Jo Junior Shabadoo Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 That was brilliant. A beautifully played shimmy. Send the second in command and last team member left with Froome up the road at the end and nobody knows what to do. Don’t remember ever seeing that done before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 There was a wee change to put pressure on Froome there, but - and not for the first time in the last 2 or 3 years at Grand Tours - the other GC Contenders were too busy playing silly burgers yo actually think about working together and doing some damage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
