Congrats to Jungels.
QS played excellent.

Some medial knee movement in jungels. Nice ride!

 

[jaylew]

Not a Jungels fan but I guess he used the QS blueprint.

Re:

Movistar terrible @ ardennes. They made Valverde loose

Too many climbers, not enough rouleurs for the hills. As great as Landa is, he isn't designed to lead the peloton.

Movistar just proved that they are not even close to as strong of a team as they have been the last several years. The exodus of riders over the past two years is showing. I have a feeling the team is going to implode completely at the Tour. They've had too many very good riders leave and it's really showing.

 

[Sestriere]

Great job, Bob! Amazing rider.

 

[Andy262]

Congrats Bob Jungels. Steppers rampant.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Bravo Jungels!!

Nah, Betancur and Anacona hasn`t reached previous years level.

Worthy winner. Nice to see Bardet in the mix as well.

 

[Brullnux]

Pozzovivo just sprinted and beat Gasparotto. He's going to win the Giro.

Or be among the best 30 climbers, apparently.

3rd LBL win for Luxembourg

 

[Gigs_98]

Everything before RaF was boring, but from then onwards great racing. After La Redoute I really thought this would be like in the last few years but it showed once again that if there are serious attacks on the RaF it's close to impossible to control the race.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Quickstep has really shown how to properly use superiority in numbers this season. Chapeau

 

[jaylew]

Wow, 2nd for Woods. His best result ever. Well, at least I correctly picked Bardet in 3rd but I was totally off on those first 2.

 

[Red Rick]

There was one dude in that group who you just not let go on his own.

They did it anyway

Fabulous performance of Jungels and QS. Well deserved win.


And for all the complaints about a boring race. It's the same as always. The RaF is the massive bottleneck.

 

[DFA123]

Great to see a winner like Jungels of such a big race. A proper rider - with an amazing power profile. Such a tough race as always, riders like Nibali dropped with 30km to go, and the suffering of so many world class riders in the final km says it all.

 

[OlavEH]

Great win by Jungels. Most entartaining LBL for several years and no Valverde win, which is no coincidence btw......

 

[SKSemtex]

Waw. Congrats to Jungels and QS.
They are really amazing.
So Ardennes better then cobbles.
This first time since I have been watching cycling.

 

[bassano]

nice win by bob congratulation to him and quickstep

 

[Rollthedice]

Great Jungels, congrats. Also Woods and Bardet. Team and legs left Valverde when it was more needed.

 

[jaylew]

Everybody talking about Movistar being weak overshadows the reality that Valverde was simply not as good this year.

 

[tobydawq]

235 kilometres of nothing. One attack. 20 kilometres of nothing.

Nice.

 

[Laplaz]

Great performance by the three italians on 5th, 6th and 7th.
