De Gendt de gendting Mohoric.

 

[Bonimenier]

Another De Gendt breakaway masterclass.

 

[Gigs_98]

Just incredible how De Gendt keeps getting those insane breakaway victories. Chapeau

 

[Pricey_sky]

No coverage of the GC group up the final climb. Great work again by the producers.

That's it guys

As the lockdowns approach half a dozen the chance that governments throw their hands in the air and go "lol whatever" approaches 1. We thousands of spectators at our football game vs Latvia yesterday. Yet meanwhile a bunch of them had to leave the game early cause of the curfew. Nothing makes any sense.

Also kown as the law of large lockdowns.

De Gendt finishing off...
Well done.

Ineos maybe doesn't have the strongest rider in the peloton this season, but they're still one mighty squad.

 

[RedheadDane]

Fun fact: Only one nation has won at least one stage in every WT stage race so far; Denmark. Big cycling power-house Denmark!

 

[CyclistAbi]

Yates had this in the bag all along. Raises the question on who is the big brother now.

P.S. Likely, at some point, Mohorič will evolve at better finishing stages. A lot of times he is there, just lacking that final punch to take the win.

 

[ice&fire]

Almeida and Valverde have added a bunch of top-10 placings to their score this week.

You've made that out.

I find it so weird to see how many fans there are. I guess in the summer when there were quite a lot of fans at the gt's it was the public naivety that the pandemic was over and you don't have to be overly careful anymore. But after what happened this fall and winter I really thought there wouldn't be any fans along the road this spring.

Well, outdoors is not really dangerous. Better for people to gather out in the sun than indoors.

Todays stage highlight was Barcelona. And ok De Gendt was great too. I understand now why Roubaix will be postponed. People are stupid. If I live in Barcelona I would be along the course too so I cant judge them though.

hundreds of people meeting outdoors being better than hundreds of people meeting indoors still doesn't make it good.

 

[KZD]

De Ghent truly is the master of this race.

They must have relaxed the local lockdown rules as there was a live music concert last night in Barcelona with 5000 people. Not socially distanced but everyone had to take a test and wear a mask.

Sorry but De Gendt bores me. I don't think he's ever won a one day race.

So? Lots of riders haven't.

Lots of people are vaccinated at this point so that could explain some of it.

I think the concert was some kind of a test event, not a normal restrictions measure.

 

[movingtarget]

Mohoric needs a downhill event. Standard De Gendt win, no surprises with him anymore. Ineos should be happy and they looked a happy team post race.

 

[Escarabajo]

I don't think so. Not in Spain.

People have not changed their mind on how they view the pandemic. The ones that were worried and careful are still worried and careful and the ones that didn't care still don't care. IMHO.

 

[Escarabajo]

Ineos 1, 2, 3. I really hope for a great Tour. It would be embarrassing again all this hype again and nothing.

If I was soloing in for a win in Dwars on Wednesday, I would ride the final 100 metres sat on my top tube and with my forearms on the handlebars.

Yes it does. It substitutes indoor meetings, and it is not just a bit safer -- it is far, far safer to meet outdoors.

Not in Europe (15 % so far and mostly elders).
