Been a bit of a non eventShould stay away unless the favourites decide to race each other. There's some false flat at the ski station then it's 'relatively' easy up to the meteo station.
Spot onLutsenko for me.
Part of the conversation pre TDF was whether Roglic can last 3 weeks.
Feels like he will if it stays like this
Guess part of the issue is SKY are nowhere near where they wanted to be
Made of tough stuff these lads.Cheers.
Ouch! Remember this.
There were three small climbs in the first 25k and Bora just put the hammer down until the sprinters started going out the back. They kept the pressure up with most of the team driving at the front til Bennett was over two and a half minutes back. Obviously a tactic they had decided on overnight and well executed. I very much doubt Sam will get back now so he may as well write today off and conserve his energy.
PS Won't see the end as I'm off for a ride with the better half on the Veloroute (Paris-Mont St Michel) which we can pick up just a kilometre away from the house. Too nice out there to be staying in Tour or not.
