Last time i saw van Aert ride like this, leaving small gaps, reacting and bridging slowly, was last year in Strade Bianchi.

Yeah, I was wondering if he was showing weakness or if it was something else. I guess we'll find out

 

[Fernandez]

I bet for Alaphilipe

 

[titan31]

Wout is basically just following VDP ATM. Wonder will he attack or just follow and see can he win the sprint

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Teuns... where are you in Strade Bianchi???

 

[Breezy1985]

EQS setting up the perfect breakaway to somehow lose from

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Where has this Bahrain been in any other race?

 

[Cance > TheRest]

The big four gone now over Taaienberg.

 

[titan31]

Two Bahrain in the final 6 is unexpected

 

[rghysens]

Vdp giving the best impression.

 

[Red Rick]

If this lot find each other they're never gonna be brought back.

 

[meat puppet]

Mvdp one step ahead of wva all the time it seems. Now they must find a way to cooperate somehow.

 

[Red Rick]

Vdp giving the best impression.

He finally got rid of them white bibs

 

[jaylew]

Bahrain > AG2R and Trek

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Would be really impressive if the chase makes it back.

Why would VVA or VDP work here? Outnumbered with both Alaphillpe & Asgreen, doesn't seem like a great group for them? Why not miss turns & save themselves for the next berg?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

pidcock sacrificing himself

 

[Spine Concept]

MVDP doing wayyyy too much work again...

 

[bigcog]

Might just be me but Pidcock seems to waste a lot of energy on speculative attacks that aren't going anywhere

They don't want any more QS joining. I think they like their chances better from this group.

 

[Red Rick]

Not much on that attack from Ala

 

[Sciatic]

It’s going to come down to the Paterburg

 

[Stelvio]

It should come back together now..

 

[Vroome.exe]

Ala looks spent, it's all on Asgreen now for DQS.

 

[titan31]

Excellent ride across by Turgis.

 

[Vroome.exe]

DQS just shooting themselves in the foot..
