Saint-Lô - Cherbourg-Octeville, 182 km
That final climb is right in the overlap between two Venn diagram fields: hilly Classics specialistsand yellow jersey contenders.This means the chances of a break sticking are slim, with many teams motivated to control the racing. The more Classics-oriented sprinters such as 2agan and Michael Matthews might fancy their chances.
is michael morkov kill?
>>69194059
Nah he good http://sport.tv2.dk/cykling/2016-07-03-det-er-et-mirakel-moerkoev-stiller-til-start-efter-vanvittigt-styrt
2agan is going to be second on todays stage
Hey guys. I'm back.
Is every flat stage quite tight at the end?
>>69194308
Pe1er will win this stage
>>69194390
Pretty much. Sometimes the break away or a late attack might win, but it's seldom. The peloton is much faster on the flat.
>Sag3n
>>69194481
>Pretty much
Thank you Ireland. I have watched the tour time to time every year but never tried to learn everything about it.
Nice with people like you.
>>69194390
There's two small hills at the end, so there's a chance someone can break away and keep distance. It's not a 100% sprinter stage like yesterday.
>Froome attacks on the last climb with a couple seconds advantage
>Gets yellow and keeps it for the rest of the tour
>Another boring GC battle
>Tfw video feeds don't start until 2:10pm
Goddamnit, I want to get comfy.
>>69195027
Froome needs a mtf to get enough time to hold off the goat herder-ax 3 and psm. The first mountain stage had a descent. This won't be like 2013 or 2015.
Kinda shitty that Contador already looks like he's a goner for the GC with the fall yesterday.
Contador got his excuse in early.
>>69195202
he was never a contender for this tour. it's over for contador.
>>69195435
Maybe, but we'll never know if you were right.
It's a rolf & ritter på tour episode
>>69195435
trips and contador wins this tour
who riblon here?
>>69195535
i think it would be wise for him to just concentrate on the vuelta for the last years of his career.
why don't they start airing the stages on television from the beginning?
>>69195606
>for the last years of his career.
Contador is only 33. He can still beat the dawg and the 58 year old.
What times does the actual broadcast begin?
>Also why would they not broadcast the race when its on?
>>69195722
broadcast begins now.
it's expensive to show the entire stage live. on the important mountain stages they will do it.
>>69195722
14.10 your time.
Too expensive.
>>69194308
We all agree 2agan will finish 2nd, but who will win?
>Valverde
It seems Cancellara really did go and stop everyone after Can'tador fell. Bretty cool guy desu.
>>69195881
Purito
>laura
:3
>>69195751
>>69195752
But isn't the crazy motorcycles out on the route already, the commentators in their booth and the riders on their bike?
>They're throwing Haribo bags in the crowd
We /meme/ now.
>>69195982
the whole stage will be recorded, but to show it live they need to have helicopters and planes in the sky. that's the expensive bit.
may as well save some money during the non-important bits of these stages.
last km
sagan 1st
Richie looks unhealthy
>>69196047
And ASO is really poor.
>>69195982
Isn't the whole stage filmed but just a part broadcasted? No one could get a time slot large enough for the whole stage. Though they sometimes do show an entire stage. Well Eurosport does anyway. But around a stage or two per tour, from what I recall, no more.
>>69196093
He needs work done on his teeth.
>>69195981
>tfw no Laura gf
>>69195881
Hopefully Matthews, OGE's backstage passes are great banter when they win
>>69196107
stop whining. airing entire stages like these is absolutely ridiculous.
>tfw you were hungover and not paying much too much attention when building your Scorito team and you accidentally only have 1 person it who can compete for the white jersey
pls don't fail me Barquil
Also I hope for classic VroomVroom and 2agan today, that'll get me a lot of points
Anyone else here playing in this or something like it?
>>69196057
I fucking swear, after he won in Murrika what, a year or two ago Sagan was a different person. He can hang in there on the mountains with most of the peloton except the mountain specialists. He keeps impressing me with every competition really.
>Dat big screen in the background
>They're riding through the rain right now.
>second day
>more than a single mountain for single points
No more meme polka dot jersey holders.
>Voss in the escape again
noice
this patronising of dimension data is getting on my nerves. their final 3 riders yesterday were eisel, boasson hagen, cavendish. they're not some poor 3rd world team that struggled to get enough money to take a 15 day bus trip from africa.
Is Greg riding that bike with the hidden motor he was showing off before? Because it sure looks similar to that one. Though you can't really blame him considering his age.
if there will be rain in the pyrenees froome may lose the tour.
>>69196269
He's going full tryhard for the mountain jersey
>>69196286
But who, in their "sane" mind is patronizing them? They got fucking Cavendish, they are a fucking UCI World Tour team.
>>69196202
> after he won in Murrika what, a year or two ago
Well, considering he still has his stripes...
typical Manx weather for Cav's day in yellow
brb, gotta take a shit, won't take 2 minutes
Friendly reminder that Etix-Quickstep will likely fold after 2017.
>>69196286
This team is a joke. They have 2 guys from Eritrea thats it. One white guy from south africa, not like there have been plenty of south africans already at the tour.
That little guy from columbia is more 3rd world then this whole team
>>69196437
bring back mapei.
>>69196330
Why did he fall off the escape for a bit? BOA also has Beneddeti there, did Voss just have mechanical trouble or something?
>>69196378
>2 minutes
anyone care to explain this to someone new to /tdf/?
>>69196334
People (cycling journalists) calling it a fairytale and all that shit.
What that team does for cycling in Africa is admirable, but Mark fucking Cavendish winning a stage while being led out by EBH is not an underdog tale. It's been annoying me all year. I'm over it now.
What's the best thing about the TdF for /sp/

I wouldn't be so sure. He was one of the last ones to leave the crash site. For now let's waif for refreshes. They're slowing down the peloton again anyway.

«We were close to the barriers but I’m sure I had enough space to pass on the right, he said on his team’s website. Suddenly, I was unbalanced. I’m not absolutely sure but I think I was hit by an object held by a spectator.»

Have a sign with '/TdF/' on it so we can spot you.
>>69197265
Lucky bastard. I say wait until the last 10-15 km or so then go. You'll just make the finish and 2agan grabbing second.

>>69197175
Super banged up, but nothing broken
Clearly struggling with his legs. Hopefully there'll be some grupetto he can ride to the finish line
>>69197265
I went to the Tour a few times too, as they pass near to my location (Pyreneas). But I prefer to be comfy in front of my TV desu, you can see the whole stage.

I was wondering, your broadcasts show some french landscapes sometimes or you’re only seeing the race? Because damn, my country is fucking gorgeous outside Paris.
When itv coverage start?
>>69197516
Yes, it does. I masturbate to the small towns with /comfy/ cafés and bars.
>>69197516
I'm pretty sure everyone has the same broadcast, just different commentators.
At least I know that's the case here, we just get the images provided by you guys, with our own commentators talking over it.
But you still see some clearly french elements in the overlays and stuff
>>69197516
We all get the same pictures
>it's a no landscapes because no helicopters stage
Is it the rain?
>>69196546
Combination of landscape, memes and suffering. I love the mountains when the tension builds and you can see somebody crack.

thank mr skeltal
>>69197516
The broadcast is managed by the ASO(TdF organisers), and sent to all broadcasting channels. Some broadcasters channels further edit by having ads or doing their own repeats, but generally everyone has the same images but with different commentators. The French influence has a tendency to pop up whenever a French guy is doing well during a stage, where sometimes they get disproportionate attention, at the expense of more interesting parts of the race.

> it's a rolf sorensen talking about his bathroom breaks episode
>>69197668
Oh OK, nice. I thought foreign channels might be able to cut off the landscapes or stuff like that. And yes, you’re right, but when the things become serious they’re generally showing all the favorites, not only the French guys.
2agan had a close shave today. Almost didn't recognize him without his beard.
