Hursty I think just on the day they expected van Aert or one or two others. Was Pogacar involved in one of the earlier crashes? I think that may be why
Brilliant from Cav again. Three more wins and five more sprint days left. Dare to dream for the lad?!
He’s looking good for sure, he came very close to contact again in the last few metres, brilliant stuff!
Text book execution by Cav, he’s just enjoying himself, no pressure at all, every win is a massive bonus!
Hursty Yeah, he really is. Suddenly and for the first time in ages, I’m enjoying the sprints
Watched highlights of the last 10k again, Alaphillipe is some team mate to have, selfless over the last few days.
Who should I watch out for on the climbs over the weekend?
LT42 Alaphillipe for today I reckon, but Pogacar, Roglic, Thomas and usual mob for the proper mountains. Reckon Ineos will start going after stages soon, so Geoghegan Hart and Carapaz will come into play.
Along_the_Wire Going at some pace right now, I’m sweating just watching it
I want to see some action from Tao, very promising individual
An exciting tête today, they’ve put in some work. The scenery really has been stunning so far too.
Crazy how that break was left to go up the road - UAE aren’t strong enough to bring these guys back. VDP won’t be finishing the Tour so he doesn’t really matter I suppose, but Nibali must be licking his lips - hope he has the minerals for the rest of the tour.
Along_the_Wire yeah it’ll be interesting to see if UAE push it once they come down the other side here. Huge gap though.
What’s the story with VDP?
They definitely won’t be bringing this back
No chance now. I’d like to see Van Moer do it.
LT42 Same here, he’s not the strongest of that three though
Let’s see where he is after this climb, brutal stuff upcoming
Some ride from Mohoric in fairness, he deserves this now
Can’t believe Pogacar has let Carapaz go up the road. Roglic absolutely fucked.
Carapaz is flying, some effort to claw back the time. Christ, I thought he was miles ahead. This race surprises me every time.
LT42 Yeah, burnt a lot of matches for nothing. Shame that everyone I like in cycling is either not here, or absolutely fucked. Still, looking forward to tomorrow - interesting to see how WVA will do - he’ll be leader now. Tomorrow is brutal.
The slovenians clearly have Live in Slovenia playing on repeat. Different one suprises me every time
