100th Volta Ciclista a Catalunya(2.UWT) - 22nd March - 28th March

[Devil's Elbow]

And obviously Soler will go in the break and win the stage.

And then Soler didn't make the break.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Big Lenny Kämna in the breakaway and already virtual leader, a strong breakaway overall.

 

[Laplaz]

Doomed break with Kämna in it unfortunately

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I feel for the other riders in the break, cause with Kämna in there, they won't make it, but at least the peloton has to really work for it now.

 

[Publiuszam]

Yea, tough luck for the break but the chase will make it more lively..earlier the better.

In this situation they've got to make Kämna do the majority of the pulling

But other teams have riders in there for tactical purposes, so they will probably also be interested in surviving as long as possible.

Andreas Kron is out of the race for some reason (he's ill).

#VoltaCatalunya100 -

1'40" for the breakaway.

Kron (LTS), Evans (IWG), and Vacek (TQA) have abandoned. #LFRLive

Remember the days when Karel Vacek was the only Junior who could drop Evenepoel?
Seems ages ago.

Yeah, he had a monster accerleration.

2018 seems ages ago because of all the great cycling we have witnessed so far... Imho. And Logic would like to have a word with you

who are you thinking about? I'd say they are all in there for the stage win, even the Jumbo guys

 

[Samamba]

Kamna being in the break makes this a really fast and so even harder strage. Expect to see big differences at the finish line

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I guess they are there for both. If the gap is big enough they'll fight for the win, if it isn't they might be able to help their leaders if needed.

Only read the ticker... so Kämna's trying to vanderpoel now?

 

[Samamba]

Kamna going for the 50+ km solo?

 

[Earns1985]

eurosport with live pictures now..

Yes, and Kirby may suffer a heart attack, now that he gets to talk about his friend Lenny all day.

Definitely somethingpoel

 

[Poursuivant]

Big cojones from Kamna, chapeau to him.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Just realized Champoussin is here. Expected to see him yesterday.

 

[Red Rick]

Perfectly under control for Ineos.

 

[70kmph]

Who allowed Kamna to break out, kind of gambling there

 

[BlueRoads]

Yes, and Kirby may suffer a heart attack, now that he gets to talk about his friend Lenny all day.

? (I get the German commentary on this race.)

 

[Skalman]

Froome seams to have a long way back to form...
