Not a huge fan of the new Green Jersey.

[–] Krob 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same it's not recognizable enough, prefer the bright green.

[–] drudoo 3 points 1 year ago

Exactly. The new color just blends in with the other riders. The special jerseys should be bright and noticeable.

Seems like I am the only one who likes that darker green. But I sad, that bors hans grohe can't continue to wear their jerseys of the first stage because of that.

spoilers such a great finish, on first look I thought Philipsen was pushing Van Aert into the barriers, but on the replay it looks like the finish does have a turn and he was just taking the fastest line (while also giving enough space not to cause a wreck). Van Aert can't catch a break this TdF.

Also, hell ya Powless

I won't be able to watch much of it today, but I'm thinking Philipsen will take this one. Interested to see how Cav will preform.

Maybe I'm biased, but I'm hoping Caleb's got a win in him today.

[–] xohshoo 1 points 1 year ago

Not a bad result for him

Incredible leadout by MvdP!

[–] Krob 2 points 1 year ago

Perfect timing from the alpecin team, just in front at the right time.

This stage can go either way, depending on how hard they ride it. I'm thinking Philipsen or Mads Pedersen. If it's a bit slower I think Groenewegen and Jakobsen are faster, but it depends on whether or not Jakobsen can stick to Mørkøv's wheel or not.

I'm a bit confused - I didn't see Victor Lafay do anything remarkable today. Is he done?

EDIT: Just noticed he won the intermediate bunch sprint from the peloton. My faith is restored.

I am also going with philipsen. He is very strong, but it's always hard to tell who has the legs and also a good bit of luck on that day
