Hard to.call .... Points jersey guys mads et al will try and follow if GC contenders try anything... But far from the end .."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.

No info on how technical the descent is"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

Could be the day Remco lets the jersey go.
Sprinters teams aren't necessarily going to chase and no one on GC wants to do that work on the flat
You'd expect Trek to chase a bit as Mads is the best at getting over lumps like that and sprinting0 -
Everyone will want to get in the break.
Last 350m are 5% after a right hand turn.0 -

He could have been bluffing. 😉The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Think QS would love that ..but the mads matts and Magnuses of this world will bring it back is my guess groves is touted to be in with a shottakethehighroad said:Could be the day Remco lets the jersey go.

Break Might be hard to form ... The stiff slow speed final sprint ramp was why I picked Remcokingstongraham said:Everyone will want to get in the break.

GC guys from a reduced bunch are going to have to sprint to close any small splits"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.

I can see trek, jayco and alpecin might want no proper break, but the others?0

I think teams are waiting to see who wants to take on the responsibility... QS are predictably leaving it to others .kingstongraham said:I can see trek, jayco and alpecin might want no proper break, but the others?

With some justification, I think. He takes his right hand off the bars and moves Davide Ballerini right with a push. That caused a ripple effect and led directly to the crash.mididoctors said:Groves is getting the blame on social media for stage 2 crash

Even the GCN team can’t be bothered to talk up the action so far (we may even find Hatch doesn’t brand it one of the greatest races in a generation)0
