Another one for the sprinters, I'm thinking Philipsen wil get this one again. Though I'm hoping Cav will get his win nice and early in the tour and goes on a Cav winning streak.

I want Pedersen to boss them all ๐
Man, van der Poel is the dream lead out!
He really is incredible. Those two are going to be hard to beat.
Just watched the highlights, it's incredible indeed that was some pull he gave.
Prudhomme disagrees
It's kind of bogus you can be the "enforcer", breaking all the rules, get relegated, and your team still gets the win. Everything outside of the push was awesome though.
Seeing that great leadout by alpechin yesterday, I can't see any team beating Phillipsen today, even with the easier run in to a drag race, he's looking strong. Incoming Wout handlebar pound.
Caleb or Cav, come on.
Cav or Bini
Seems like Bini has the same problem as Caleb, that being positioning... Granted it's Binis first Tour
Pretty exciting finish. Weird road surface issues.
Stage one: Lafay escapes with Pog and Ving on the climb.
Stage two: Lafay beats Van Aert to win the reduced bunch sprint.
Stage three: Lafay wins the intermediate sprint from the peloton.
Stage four: ????
If Caleb was on a better team with a decent lead out, he'd really be in for a chance. His finishes are so fast, but he's isolated and out of position. I reckon he's got one this TdF though.
