Rogers might be use as distraction by Sky on Willunga, he might as well attack first and then see what happens.
They all will have to go full throttle to catch Valverde

EBH and Sky will be pissed they missed on the bonus seconds. Nice win from Freire after his remarks in the interview two days earlier.

Haven't got one bet right yet. FML. I was sure EBH had that stage.

Once again a crazy Ciolek sprint. Why can`t he wait until the other sprinters go?
He could win stages then for sure as he has some crazy acceleration...
As he is more a classic rider than a pure sprinter, I hope he can stay in front tomorrow taking a nice top 10 or even more.

Good stage, I think Ciolek went a bit too early though. Good result him getting second.
Matt Goss finishing 14 minutes behind, bad form?

It seems so. He hasn't been riding well in the previous races.
Great to see Freire win, and great I didn't bet on Greipel, because I'd lose another bet this year.

so, is there going to be a live stream for the Willunga stage, or is it sleepy time?

As far as I understand, it should start streaming in about an hour.

So, the sky commentator said that sky were really keen to win their first race last year, whereas green edge don't seem keen enough. Could this be because they already won the Aussie champs?

Loved it when Chris Boardman starting talking about Jose Joaquin Rojas as a punchy hill climber I swear he was on about Joaquim Rodriguez

Who you guys got for today? I'm going for Valverde, Movistar seem pretty confident in him.
