I like all of those guys to take a stab at yellow in stage 4, but in stages after it's Sagan who will be sprinting for bonuses and has a chance to sustain yellow. I really like the chance of Gallopin going for something today. There are so many cobble sections near the end, it should break up enough for Froome to lose yellow I believe and that won't bother him as long as he doesn't give up time to his big rivals.

There's a chance of rain when they get to Cambrai

Look at how far Richie Porte has fallen...now being used as a rouleur

It's amazing how good Nibali is on the cobbles considering he looks emaciated. If he decided to, I think he could actually be a legitimate P-R contender. Dude is just a flat out incredible bike handler.

Pinot punctures, Nibali on the attack

Peloton seems to have swelled a bit
Really hoping Etixx go retard on the cobbles to drop Froome...want Martin in the yellow
And....he's had a mechanical :/

Lots of positioning. These first for days have been as intense as I can remember

There goes Tony Martin. Going for victory and yellow
Posted on 7/7/15 at 10:33 am to castorinho
Allez Tony

Froome is loving this

What a move! Got to feel good for Tony Martin!

wasn't as good as last year's stage 5, but still pretty fun. Great timing by Marting

Great start to the Tour. Martin could lead for a couple of days before time bonuses take him out of yellow. Tony Martin

Went to 25/1 with 1km
Devastated as it took to long to add cash to my account
But fantastic result, inthink he will hold it until the rest day which will be great (potentially lose it on the wall at the Mur but win it back at the TTT)

Martin finally got what he has deserved the last two days. Impressed with Sky, although can not stand the team. I think Saxo is setting up Contador nicely, as Sagan went and took a turn at leading the chase.
I think the mountain stages and TTT will be fun to watch.

Really happy for Tony. Well deserved and earned. All the big 4 didn't do anything to hurt their chances today. Thought Nibali looked strong and Froome as well. Tip of the hat to Quintana today...this certainly wasn't his terrain. Contador better be just building form, and I think he will(word has it that after the Giro he tried to recuperate and trained less that normal), or he's going to be in a world of hurt dealing with the other 3. Today just wasn't raced at a pace that could destroy the field. Hard nevertheless.
Edit to add that TJVG is in great shape so far and hope he can podium. His team should do really well in the TTT.

just saw the replay, wow he was launching all kinds of attacks on the cobbles. almost gapped froomie and the rest of the field with 40km to go. super exciting start to the tour so far.

Sagan might be in the best form of his life. Twice now he has sacrificed his chances for Contador only to recover and finish second
Also don't forget about the job done by Matteo Trentin to give up his bike to Martin
