    Why the Landa hate? He had a go today at least.

    Porte had a bit of help from the JV lads too.

    Can't imagine having a conversation at 40kmph nevermind at 60+ kmph :-)

    That works out at a 112kph avg required.

    7 mins to do 16km

    He can loose 40.1 min on the stage... (refined)

    He was down 31min at the last time I checked with 16km left...

    That means he can loose 9 min more over 16km... So he has what the winner completed in plus 9min...

    Speed = distance / time

    X = 16 / (7/60)

    X = 16 / 0.11666

    X = 137kph

    Based off

    Answer my own question ; looks like potentially 140, 2xintermediate sprints @20 and 2xstage win tmw and in Paris @50.

    I excluded the itt from that, same points as intermediate sprint, 20

    20 at the intermediate
    50 at the final

    In theory, Sagan could end up 18 points ahead of Sam going to Paris.
