Okay, well that was a pure sprint, nothing tricky, nothing fancy, and he is faster than Goss and Greipel. I think its time to start giving him 81ish sprint, 83ish accel.
Ignoring every other sprint were he failed to podium.
He's won 3 stages...don't know which tour you're watching...certainly no one is even close on the uphill stuff (hell he actually put a gap on one of his sprints). Of the 3 other stages he came in 6th, 5th and got caught in a crash. That's not a bad list.
And hence he has a great hill stat.
Exactly. In the flat stages he got 6th and 5th, meaning an 81 SP is too high. Stick with 78-9. Espeecially is Goss stays at 78.
I would say 80 HIL and 80 SP, deadly combination for these uphill sprints.
But hey, we have a special thread for these discussions

Lol, someone seems to be very angry and I have to admit, its very mature of you with that last sentence I have no idea how old you have to be in 8th grade but I have 10 GCSE's and 4 A-Levels (people who know the English education system will understand), so I seem to have quite a good intelligence, its just people who decide to spout off rubbish and blame people who were not at fault who are stupid and act without thinking like you did in calling out both BMC and Sky.
Discussion so far:
1. I post my opinion
2. You call me stupid
3. I explain my opinion
4. You call me stupid for the second time, disregarding my explaination
5. I re-explain my opinion and appeal to your behaviour
6. herp derp still stupid
Appearantly, all those A-levels and GSCE's didn't include any education in the principles of a basic discussion. I don't care if you're a troll or just an idiot. Call me immature I don't care, you're acting like a cunt and you know it. Good day.

80 sprint, 80 hill, and 84 acc for me. Plus Greipel is hurt.

Poels, Astarloza, Danielson and Vigano are the 4 abandons. Everyone else has finished.

Gutted.
Sh*tty day. You know Gesink will eventually end up in a pile-up crash. But Poels, Mollema and Kruijswijk as well??
No luck at all. Ever. |

I'm happy to go on vacation tomorrow, knowing that I don't have to watch the Tour from now on. 
Year after year I have high hopes for this race, and year after year my hopes end in crashes.
This.
When you have about 20 potential Top 5 riders, and then 15 of them end up in crashes. It basically paints the GC picture for the next 2 weeks.
Green jersey is going to be boring now too, because Sagan is just too good.

From Inner Ring: Voeckler says race radios caused the crash. Without knowing that Cancellara tells French TV he needs the radios for safety.
David Millar:
"Oh sweet jesus that was scary. Approx 70km/h pile up, like a tidal wave of debris smashing towards us, could do nothing but brake and pray.
Knee caps smashed, chainring in chest, thigh + ankle bruised. Didn't even notice this scratch...

If only TV didn't take ad breaks there would be no crashes...
Hope as many as possible can get back on tomorrow. |

I feel really bad for the Dutch fans. And valv too. Hesjedal was my 2nd choice to win this year behind Cadel, so I'm pretty gutted he crashed. Also wanted to see how Poels would go but no. Crashes are shit.

Was wondering on Poels for the white jersey, such a shame for so many. |

Ya I'm the immature one when you call me a C***, and for the principles of basic discussion, I don't think using swear words are actively encouraged unlike me who has been relatively civil with you. I'm giving my opinion on your opinion and I think its stupid. End of.
P.S: Might want to learn some basic manners too |

Yep I was really looking forward how all those young dutch guys will do in the tour - it sucks that all of them at least lost time today or are injured |

I might be acting stupid here, but why don't guys like Gesink, Hesjedal get up the front and leave the domestiques to fill up the back?
