  1. Skippos SM Morgan

    Stage 17

    I think Degenkolb just had more in the legs after that hill before the finish. A better climber than the other sprinters.

    With Nibali out it's really not a high quality field. Wiggins is alright, but Gesink/Pozzovivo/Hesjedal are blokes who, at peak nowadays, probably would finish 8-12 in GC. Blokes like Scarponi (overrated!)/Uran/Cunego/Sanchez/Cobo/Basso are all not in the best touch or on the decline anyway. Talansky's good enough to finish 8-12 in a high quality GC field (TDF '13) so he's just up there when competing with equal quality opposition.

  4. Skippos SM Morgan

    Overall - 2 mountain stages in the dolomites and then the final stage to come.

  5. Mariner CL Warrington

    Urgh, bad stage from the GC point of view
     
  6. Skippos SM Morgan

    Anyway, the next three I'll do tomorrow.

    I'll build some suspense though - one of the top few (semi realistic shots: Wiggins, Gesink, Pozzovivo, Talansky, Brajkovic, Hesjedal) has completely run out of legs and is going to rocket down the overall standings Dan Martin style over the next too stages.

    Good news for Mariner too, Froome's really finding his legs. Was getting dropped on every stage early on and at the halfway mark was nearly dead last - but he's up into the top 40 now and looking good.

    What a joke.
