I can't hear this team support thing anymore. If Roglic, Evenepoel and Lipo can't follow Seixas, Vingegaard and Pog there is nothing the team can do about it. The team is fine , there are just better GC leaders at the moment. Nothing indicates that Roglic can follow the big three, even with the...

The new mutants are coming fast these days...

Seixas did to Pog what Lipo did to Seixas in Basque. Fairplay. :D

Normally such a big group isnt riding well together. They have to organize themself. Teams with numbers have to put a rider to the front im G1. I think UAE and Decathlon can match such a pace. I don't think it is over.

He is somehow really humble. He was praising his team in the winners inerview like crazy. His team was really solid but he nearly destroyed all of Ineos on his own in style. Perhaps he won't be the new megastar, but he will win a lot without getting arrogant I think.

A Tour de France podium and the white jersey is very important for a sponsor. The TDF is creating around 80 % of the marketing value. Being in a jersey every day and twice on the podium in Paris is big. Some fans might value some wins differently but the sponsor cares about the big picture.

Last years stage 19 in the TDF showed that Roglic would rather go for a 10% chance to win a stage while risking position 3 in GC of his teammate then helping his teammate to secure place 3. Thats why he could go to the TDF in a team with only one leader but not in a team with more leaders like...

A shame. Hopefully not badly injured.

I don't think he can win the sprint. Its too steep and after an easy race there are better puncheurs. He can win solo or from a group.

Lipo has 0% chance to win in a short sprint.

Lipowitz sneaked into the startlist lastminute. Good for the race. He was really sursprised with his result in Catalunya because he was really sick at the altitude camp in march. Perhaps he can be even better next week. He must be against Seixas and Del Toro.

I think there is a chance for the break to get a good gap if UAE and Alpecin refuse to chase for some time. I think Alpecin is a bit angry after MSR and doesn't want to chase at first.

But he always gets ill. Could be in shape nonetheless. :D

Yes. It was a bit stupid. But from what I read so far, Lipo only cares about the Tour. I don't think he is mad that they didn't gain time on Almeida. Nevertheless Evenepoel really should attack more often, perhaps even at the Tour because he is hard to catch.

It was fine. They positioned Remco in the front for the last hilly part. After that you just have to follow. Hindley and Lipo didn't loose time.
