Well I don't think they will make the finish ."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

It's a pain in the arse. With ITV on a break every 5 minutes, it means I have to suffer Kirby from time to time.
As I suggested earlier. Bora and Sunweb controlling the gap."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -

Bunch being killjoys and keeping the break on a very short leash indeed. Interested to see if WVA tries anything, a few bonifications/a small gap and he's in yellow. Obviously that would still be a pretty tough task0

Could well backfire after the sprint. By then they will be lucky to be 40s ahead and in bridgeable range.
46kph average is ridiculous."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -

Yes Swifty warned that that would be the case if they got too close, looks to be fine now around 2 mins.
Bunch looking very relaxed to say they're only a couple of mins from the sprint, as Matt and Ben head through the feed zone0 -

I think he has looked a bit sluggish in sprints so far this tour as a whole. Could see him doing another 2015 and winning green without any stages0 -
If I finally get to do the planned holiday to the Italian lakes next year I think I might book a couple of nights stopover in this area, very pretty.0

I'm not sure "sluggish" is quite the right word... I think in the past he's made up for slightly poor positioning by forcing a way through somehow, but is maybe a little reluctant to do so this year - knowing he needs to finish the race to take the record 7th green jersey.
He was a tyre away from the 1st stage and a it boxed in yesterday, on a finish that favoured the pure sprinters.
He's not out of the top 5 on an individual stage yet.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -

I would agree that we're not seeing prime Sagan so far though. He seems to be a little lacking in top end without performing any better on climbs. Pretty high bar though...0 -
Some very nice scenery indeed today! Such a picturesque part of the world. Bunch looking very relaxed, think I might pop out for a short spin while there's nothing occurring0
