This time the jury sure made a quick decision. 
What did he do ? I didnt see the intermediate sprints. Was it deserved they declassified him ?
He closed the door for Sagan. I think it was deserved
Guy moves out of his line a little, making him lose a point or twoand it's deserved.
Guy pushes into someone, actually throwing him from his bike at high speeds and it's the other guys fault.
Btw baseball was it difficult to hit him with the piss when he went by at 50kph?  |

Not really.

EBH just came from x-ray, not wanting to comment on the results and seemed more bothered than he did previously, so might seem like he has to abandon then.
Apparently broken shoulder. |

Completey agree, it's ridicolous. Every rider is different, I guess |

Just caught up with the finish (like I had to do with 4 of the last 5 stages  ) and 
Plus 
Seriously, I was doubting Kittel would even take one stage pre-race, but he's impressive.
For the record, that's 9 stage wins in the last 2.5 GT's for Argos! Anyone care to calculate who / if someone is better?
It's always easy to say what your intention was afterwards, but if that was indeed their strategy, it was perfectly executed. Whoever made that incredibly long acceleration from position 20 with like 1.5k to go to take over when they were down to three men, wow!
For everyone puzzled about using de Kort as last guy (it was the right decision indeed as some pointed out): he's a really really good leadout imo.
Constantly under-rated in many DB's.

Lopez has been rubbish so far though. Been like the first sky rider to drop. Siutsou doesn't look too sharp either. At least we might see some attacks in the alpes if Sky are unable to control much.

Lol, sorry guys about that multi-post, I'm in a train in a region with nearly no connection, and the reply confirmation only came once.
Might happen with this one as well

8 for OPQS, 7 for Katusha and 7 for Movistar are the closest

Kittel will be such a dominant sprinter, that it even scares me  |

Bad for EBH. Good for the race, the less skyborgs the better chance of Froome.exe meltdown. Even tho it's unlikely, you don't need teammates with marginal gains or you can rent one (Movistar) |

Well, I said it would have been wiser to send Danny Pate. Can't recall the last time he crashed out of a race.

Wonder if Contador is now loading up new schematics for a 2012 Vuelta Stage 17 style commando raid on the General Classification. Probably not, and no Tiralongo in the race doesn't help matters. Though I do wonder what favours Contador has up his sleeve to call in from other non-Saxo riders. |

Navarro probably doesn't even need any favours
