Looks like he's trying to shake out the cramp in his leg. It doesn't look like he's losing the head. In my book, he was unlucky and he's the moral winner.

Gotta keep watching to see Ayuso vs Roglic in a sprint for 8th place

I still think Alaphilippe can come back and bridge the gap.

Mist and drizzle, 10 degrees, perfect for redzers. Also, the air in Connemara although a bit damp, is pure. I'm glad someone else is taking a keen interest in the main championships this weekend.

Get that redzer outta the sun, they'll burn alive.

The air quality is not great here. It might be a factor. Meanwhile, no problem with the air quality at the Irish national gravel championships which take place at Shannapheasteen Forest, Galway Wind park in Connemara this weekend.

The Irish national gravel championships are taking place at Shannapheasteen Forest, Galway Wind park in Connemara this weekend. This will significantly lower the viewing numbers for the wrr.

If Pog loses it will be because of jetlag/tiredness from the 2 year peak/Urska's cold. If Remco loses it will be because he trained specifically for the tt. Alaphilippe won't make excuses, he will just shrug his shoulders and say comme d'habitude. Rory Townsend is poised to be the first redhead...

Moderators won't allow even a typo these days.

My prediction: Roglic to go in the break, Remco to follow him, drop him and win. (If Pog wins with a 235 km solo, I'll go fishing where there's no signal.)

And wheels that could survive a pothole.

Ilmaestro doing for spelling what Ali did for boxing-taking it to a new level.

Remco will do the double.

Thanks for starting this thread. There was too much discussion about the road race in the itt thread (probably defection). We also need a tour thread because people want to talk about that in the itt thread also.
