Bissegger abandons and how long before Lenny Martinez follows suit?
Hope Ben OConnor is ok. Looked a nasty crashOne of the better first stages I'd say. Good start to the race.
Looked like he won in second gear.Once that group got away it was always going to be Philipsen
It would have been more interesting if Pogacar had been in the second group.One of the better first stages I'd say. Good start to the race.
Aye but this TdF is all about two riders re GC to be fair and they finished togetherIt would have been more interesting if Pogacar had been in the second group.
Unfortunately hes already taken time on Remco
Visma spokesman said Simon Yates had a mechanical and was cooked trying to get back on in the blustery conditions.Just watched the last 10k as I can't watch live. I see the Yates twins lost a lot of time - deliberately? A few other names did the same - looking to be let go in a break for attempted stage wins I assume.
Simon Yates is supporting Vinnegaard not Pog but I get your point.I guess they didn't want to risk sending anyone back to help him. He'll now be able to conserve his energy and be there for Pog in the mountain stages.
It does. Adds to the jeopardy but we do t want accidents.Looks treacherously wet.
Thanks. Very good. Just watched the stage today. Some punchy hills near the end. You can see why this may be a GC day with MvDP - a classics stageRecommend following Amy’s Cycling Adventures on YouTube. She is doing a vlog of her challenge to ride every stage of the tour a few days before the actual race. It's a great way to understand the profile of each stage and entertaining following her.
