I feel awful for sitting here in the sun, some 65km from Huy.

It's not even 6am in my part of the world, I don't feel bad about watching this race while still in my warm bed at all.

Søren Kragh taking lessons from his captain in riding solo?

 

[Samamba]

Healy my favorite

 

[Tim Cahill]

El Jaguar is looking very dangerous, he was in good shape the other day at Amstel they just missed the move foolishly

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

The question now is who takes the impetus to chase any attacker.

I thought it would end in a sprint automatically.

Norwegian weather today. Hope to see something nice from Staune-Mittet who likes this weather from what I recall.

Thought I saw him near the front. There's a not crazy tall Visma guy there as well.

 

[tobydawq]

Buitrago also still there.

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

Pidcock DNF. Sensible.

According to PCS this is the second coldest race day all season with an average temp of 7C

Tim Van Dijke is there for Visma.

Likely, but I still feel like someone will test their luck considering how the race is playing out.

UAE having no riders near the front and only Ulissi in the second chasing group as far as I‘ve seen. Kind of hilarious

 

[Tim Cahill]

Far, far too many Scandinavians for my liking, >0

 

[Squire]

Tim Van Dijke is there for Visma.

Yeah, there's TVD, Benoot and one more I think. Could be JSM.

 

[tobydawq]

According to ASO's website, there are 173 riders in the bunch.

I hope Buitrago or Williams wins. I can't make sense of EF, they only have Carapaz and Healy in the group, yet the latter pulls on the flat?

 

[stetre76]

Needing two guys from the team car to get gloves on...not sure I like this.
Or a couple of kilometers to get a rain jacket on.

I know, it's all about the money and the winning - but if they can't get the clothes on by themselves, then they have to stop and invest 30s to get everything on - but going back to the team car and getting all the help...

And yeah, I know what it's like to ride in the cold...we've got plenty of cold here in Innsbruck (well, at least sometimes...)

 

[Samamba]

If UNO X gets this weather in every race from now on they might actually be able to make it to the WT

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Healy my favorite

but he is doing most of the pulling ...maybe for Carapaz

 

[Jagartrott]

According to ASO's website, there are 173 riders in the bunch.

Well, it would be sensible. Like emperor penguins in the Antarctic winter, bunching together to survive.

 

[Samamba]

Madouas must feel really good. He's always good in this weather ofc

 

[Volderke]

Excellent day working from home and brewing a coffee while seeing the panem et circenses!
