well Froome attacked him in the finish, when he saw that Sagan wanted to give the stage win to Bodnar, Froome tried it, ofc it´s understandable because there bonifications seconds, but whe Sagan noticed Froomes attempt, he immediately brought him to his senses :d

 

 

That thing after 45 seconds? That's not an attack from Froome, just spending his last energy to gain some more seconds and be ahead of Bodnar :d 

 

Anyway, great win from Sagan of course, now let's see tomorrow to see if Froome didn't go to far today :p

unfotunately tomorrows stage is shortened, but logical and right because apparently there very bad wind conditions in Mont Ventoux expected tomorrow. the finish will be 6 km below of the Mont Ventoux at Chalet-Reynard.

 

Mountain passes & hills 1

 

 

ofc such a pity, because Mont Ventoux is defiitely something special .

The best mountain in the Tour de France is gone tomorrow :(

 

Chalet Reynard is not that safe from the wind by the way, depending on the wind direction of course. If it comes from out of the open (from the red arrow), I guess it will be very stormy at the new finish line:

Tonight's two guests in the Belgian late night Tour de France talkshow: "Froome jumped behind Sagan because he knew Sagan is the best rider in this Tour" and "Sagan is not riding this Tour de France, he's riding his own competition right now." :d

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
