Well you've got 10 minutes  

 

I guess Sunweb and BMC are going to try and make this absolute hell for Kittel, Groenewegen, Cimolai, Selig, McLay, Degenkolb etc (and Greipel but he's in shit shape anyway). 

 

My hopes for a not so regular sprint just got a bit higher. I'm second in my league and the no. 1 team is going all in on sprinters. I've left out a few.

How exactly does one have an ugly riding style?

You do know that cyclists, runners etc don't all move in the exact same way?

Yes, but that's details. Besides, how can a slightly different style become ugly?

Mollema does not have a 'slightly' different style  

 

He's shaking from left to right more violently than people standing on top of an M10 earthquake

 

 

It's why people call him 'the Dutch Fernando Escartin', another rider who was known for his 'interesting' style (and who came out to congratulate Mollema with showing ugly styles can win  )

Gilbert out of the Tour because of illness, George Bennett dropped and riding with the likes of Cink (one of the 5-10 most invisible riders of the entire Tour), McLay, Pichon and Maté..

Well, if they manage to eliminate Kittel with this pace, then he'll be the winner (despite not being a better sprinter)...

But the green jersey isn't necessarily for the best sprinter  

 

Although I usually prefer the sprinters winning it, so Kittel winning now would be a good change in finally having the best sprinter win the green after quite some years

Best points collector title is pointless. Best sprinter means something.

 

And you realize how childlish and dishonest people get when main tactics of the 2nd best rider is apparently eliminating the leader from the race.
