Dylan Groenewegen had the highest speed in the sprint yesterday, this graph shows how good he actually is....his positioning sucks and he has no serious 'train' whatsoever which meant he was way behind with 500m to go, but in the last 700m he had a consideribly higher speed than Kittel and EBH at every moment, including an average of over 70km/h in the last 500m   (which showed after the finish, when he was absolutely gasping for air like never before)

 

 

 

If he'd ride for a good team and his positioning would get better, he would be quite hard to beat. 

 

 

 

I hope you know that that's nonsense?

It's hard to believe that someone who apparently watches all stages in full could be so clueless ...

What a stage yesterday....Manuele Mori screaming in pain, Robert Gesink DNF again with bad luck (when in great shape, this sucks so bad), Thomas out, one of Froome's main contenders out with Richie Porte after that horrible crash...Majka likely to be out or at least not in contention for a top-10 anymore..

 

The most annoying is Demare's day: he had to let go after literally around 200m and with his illness it was very clear that he would not make the time limit, no chance. Yet FDJ let Delage and Konovalovas ride with him all day, and Guarnieri later joined them, resulting in all four of them being out and FDJ losing half their team because of such a stupid decision..

Oh and Barguil thinking he won, only to discover it was actually Uran who won the sprint (which is quite impressive since Uran only had two gears left: small and big  )

Majka is out.

Like they predicted on TV here: without Peter, Juraj would have a very hard time getting to the finish..

And that's 4 for Kittel, on to stage 11

Lotto-Soudal and Katusha doing all kinds of work in the lead all day today, fantastic work for yet another 3rd or 4th place or something for Greipel and Kristoff. Apparently all sprint teams want Kittel to win again.
