Rogers is going to have his work cut out later on if this group stays ahead to the finish. There will be lots of attacking in the closing kms. No-one is going to want to leave it to a bunch sprint with Sagan around.
Especially with two etixx in the break.
Team My Man 2018: David gaudu, Pierre Latour, Romain Bardet, Thibaut pinot, Alexandre Geniez, Florian Senechal, Warren Barguil, Benoit Cosnefroy
Brun and Chavanel making an early showing in the Lanterne Rouge competition, rolling along in the Cav group, which is now almost 6mins behind the peloton.
Cycling content: it wasn't Nibali, though the attack was just as undamaging.
“Road racing was over and the UCI had banned my riding positions on the track, so it was like ‘Jings, crivvens, help ma Boab, what do I do now? I know, I’ll go away and be depressed for 10 years’.”
Just caught the very end of Matt Rendell challenging Jalabert. Did Jalabert say anything?
I just watched it on +1. He basically said no comment, then denied he'd ever said anything, accused the press of stirring things up, said he was only a spectator at the Tour and then 'au revoir' when challenged about his own doping.

So either the press talking more shoot or JaJa hasn't got the cajones to back up his his own shoot stirring.

Very definitely the latter. I think they said they'll have the interview on the highlights show along with Jalabert's comments that he denies making (although the article in which he made the exact quote has now been removed from the RTL website)

Cheers. Matt Rendell been posting links on Twitter I believe to some of the RTL stuff. Defo seems to be a concerted effort by some Brit journos to call some of these shoot stirrers out.
Ticker says Sagan had a puncture, but it looked more like a switch for him to a stiffer, sprint friendly bike (Venge?) with the break being caught. TCS have been leading the way in bike switches lately (usually a lighter bike for Contador for an uphill finish) so that's my guess.

Think he invited matt back to his garage party to consume a cocktail of opiates and steroids?

@DrHeadgear
The Vikings are coming!
Two in the break, two in the bus. It's hard to keep track.
Sagan...

He got dropped on the first climb at the start which was raced pretty fast apparently.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Thank you.
Beauties. Taste pretty good too.
Well, it's odd, basically the fame went to his head years ago and as a result he turned himself into right censored .
Let's stick to the stage though eh, last 15k or so to go now.
Just 10km left.
