Great job Cav!
Contador is the Greatest0 -

Maybe, but Boonen & Cancellara really only had a fortnight each year when they clashed, while Cavendish & Kittel have possibilities all year round.Rick Chasey wrote:You get the feeling Cav Kittel is going to turn into Boonen Cancellara.Twitter: @RichN950 -

For sure, but a bit like that fortnight we only really care about the Tour.
Cav is like Boonen - started earlier and has already has a monster year.
Kittel has come in a bit later, but is probably a fraction better when they're both 100% - so like Cancellara.
Meh, I thought it was a fun comment.0 -
In a way they're worse than Boonen/Cancellara. I think they've only properly sprinted against each other once since Paris 2013.Rick Chasey wrote:RichN95 wrote:

Andrea Peron is riding!... he must be getting on a tad
quick google
same name different guy"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0 -

So, Sagan wins the ITT as well. Only 10 km, but still. Pretty poor startlist for a HC race... Means the GC all comes down to one climb, today. Henao, Alaphillippe, Gesink, Zubeldia, Kennaugh well placed.0

Storming ride by Alaphilippe too (third).
Great job by Sagan and my man Alaphilippe. Solid rode by Tao in 17th. Gesink up there too - been a bit consistent of late, hopefully coming good.Contador is the Greatest0 -
Sagan looked so powerful on that TT bike I thought he was going to rip the cranks off it.0
-
Really hope those wins have broken the seal for Sagan... Can't think of a rider who's style exemplifies "torque" better (Cav following wheels in the last 5km is pretty close). A joy to watch...0

Have we ever seen Sagan have to defend one a high mountain? I hope he really does try.0

He was in the scottish commonwealth squad...so obviously has a west highland terrier... ergo is scottish0 -
Big effort by Boswell but Henao now goes on the attack with just over 5km to go.0
-
Alaphilippe looking good for the overall now, distancing Henao. He already has 10s on him in the GC.0
-
Alaphillipe drops Henao with under 4km left.0
-
Come on Julian!
Great climbing by Sagan too.0 -
Henao gaining now.0
-
Just over 2km to go now. Still close to call.0
-
Alaphillipe gets a second wind and extends his lead.
Edit - No time gaps but Henao is around 20s behind and Sagan is still in with a shout of a podium place at least.0 -
Great effort from Sagan! Only around 2s down on GC.0
-
-
Alaphillipe takes the stage. Fantasic set up for tomorrow with Sagan only 2sec behind in the GC and time bonuses on offer!0
