If Kwia can bridge, would be good move.

 

[Arredondo]

Good racing atm!

 

[Irondan]

Sky chasing, it won't stick

 

[Miburo]

BMC might ride, they want yellow tomorrow

 

[sir fly]

The peloton is willing to let, but there's hesitation amongst them.

 

[Netserk]

If the break worked together they would get several minutes.

 

[Flamin]

Damn, left for a while once the intermediate sprint was over and then something actually happened.

 

[Flamin]

Cannondale chasing full.

 

[Happy dude]

Garmin spoiling the fun

But why?
Dan Martin?

 

[Netserk]

Would have been fun if the big group stayed out for longer and Sky had to chase.

Of course. Big favorite to win here.

Why would they have to? There are no GC threats up there, unless they're afraid of Rolland.

 

[Flamin]

2nd group caught. Too bad only 3 guys in front now.

 

[Irondan]

Tony Greipel? Cmon Phil, get it together..

 

[Flamin]

Pace dropped a bit in the peloton.

 

[sir fly]

Is there a holiday in Poland today, or some other occasion for the enthusiasm?

 

[sir fly]

We're having a nice insight in Cannondale's ttt prospects.

Huzarski sacrificing himself for Golas or what?

Re:

Then surely Golas would have let Bak close the gap after the roundabout?

 

[sir fly]

Straws all over the place...

Why is that? There are racing against the peloton for now, not each other. No point in playing games yet.

Doubt it, but what is the alternative? Don't work and be caught right away?

In that case it would make sense for Huzarski to sit up when he noticed that Golas wasn't with him.

No, but 50% of the time he's at the front, clearly going full and barely asking for relays.
