Wow can't believe Talansky made it. Really thought he was going to abandon, amazing fight to pull through.
RIP Exxon Duke, David Veilleux, Double Feature, and Monster Energy |

that guy talking to Talansky when he was about to retire did a great job.

It might be too hard for Cannondale, but definately not for Sagan.
I will bet my brain and say Gallopin.

Thanks. Unfortunately he wasn't available on the Fantasy Betting, and "Another Rider" at 1,80 was simply too low for me to play.
Tony Gallopin seems very very strong at the moment, and I don't think he is done just yet. Tomorrow is decent for him aswell, although I doubt he can win that one. There will be another stage that suits him very well though - You can probably figure it out yourselves.

Based on today I would say Degenkolb will win tomorrow if he has the same legs. Tomorrow is easier than today so he should win it. |

I agree. But I think it might be interesting for Kristoff aswell. He saved himself well today, knowing he couldn't win anyway. Julien Simon was close to making it today and he will also be a top 5 bet aswell as Coquard who wasn't far behind either (He was in the Costa group I think).

What happend to Costa today, is he ill??? If not i hope he finally forget about winning Gt´s and goes for Stage hunting and 1 week Stage races again. Its painfull to see him only fighting for a top 5 - 10 place only.
Costa has acute bronchitis.. resuilt of the transition from cold to hot weather.
I feared this might happen. Costa has never ridden 3 weeks for himself. And while he was strong in the 3rd week last year, he could take 'days off' and rest in the grupetto. When you have to ride for GC every day however, it takes a huge toll on your body and a lot of riders get ill or injured as a result. Only the ones with the best recovery are able to withstand that. For example, Quintana being unfit in the first 2 weeks of the Giro, but still being able to limit the damage and destroy the last week.
Costa isn't able to limit anything i'm afraid |

LOL, dont worry, we know you supported Tony before it was cool. 
Really great all-around rider with some guts to attack, he is saving the Tour for TREK.
Sagan once again suffers because of his team being shite for worlds best race, again forced to control things. This time he played that better, as he was not pulling nonstop, but it failed in the end. Imagine him in OPQS or Orica, team that can actually control the stage in later parts.

Well actually Gallopin has already won Clasica San Sebastian you know He was already considered a fantastic (multi)talent.
He's good on almost every terrain. |
