Tour of the Basque Country 2018 (With spoilers)

[brommers]

Great first stage. Brilliant from Alaphilippe and Roglic. Should be a great week's racing.

 

[Toshiba Boy]

Certainly was, superb ride by those two guys.

 

[roadrash]

its certainly a lumpy one apart from the time trial obviously

Think it’s the TT Wednesday.

 

[roadrash]

TT is stage 4 on Thursday, Wednesday looks like this..

 

[brommers]

The way that these two are blowing away Grand Tour regulars, are they serious Giro, TdF or Vuelta contenders themselves?

 

[mjr]

74k to go, 3m40 gap to a De Gendt group ahead, GC teams finally helping reel it in. Late coverage start due to tech problems at etb.

 

[roadrash]

nice sprint win for j McCarthy today, time trial tomorrow

 

[brommers]

I'd be very surprised if Bardet and his two teammates didn't get disqualified for taking a tow behind their car - for ages!

 

[brommers]

Roglic appears to have lost a few kilos this year which obviously helps on the climbs, but didn't stop him from powering to the TT win yesterday.

 

[roadrash]

Roglic now 34 seconds in front of Alaphilipe

 

[brommers]

Roglic is nearly 2 minutes ahead of the field - doesn't appear to have any weaknesses at the moment.

Do you know if he's doing the Giro, Brommers?
