They're so much fun to ride and way more controlled than you'd think. So easy to jump around on too. I miss the bmx I had in uni for knocking about on, bloody thieves :(

Yeah it was dull as poo poo the last time I watched it but maybe Sagan will do a rad wheelie or possibly an endo

I don't think Sagan will get destroyed but I doubt he'll be in the top 5-10.

He's apparently starting way in the back due to not having any uci mtb race points. No real chance at the holeshot.

Decent length for a TTT today. Could see some really big time gaps.

Did anyone think Sagan wouldn't charge his way straight to the front and then find some way to fail?

Sagan was probably just sent on a suicide mission to bust the race up for Kohlrabi.

Its been more the Moviestar train tbh

But yeah Quintana just died in the last 100m whilst his team sailed on by

Froome did the usual plugging away at a constant speed then oh poo poo he's caught up and passed everyone without an obvious attack

There was a lovely zoomed out shot of moviestar destroying everyone out in their own, and then just at the edge of the screen was a rider catching and you just loving knew it was going to be him

If they keep making him chase it down himself they might burn him out. I'd expect Sky dudes to start killing themselves to avoid it though.
