Re:

Considering the break is still 5' ahead with less than 40k to go, might be a surprise winner today. Someone needs to up the pace, Etixx I'd imagine want to ride for Martin and Alaphilippe, but no sign of them yet.

oh my god please not these idiot posts again thinking the break won't be caught :facepalm:

Nice to meet you too.

FYI, I never said the break would not be caught, just that the peloton were leaving it late.

it wasn't just meant to you but also the post below you and in general every topic where people don't understand how cycling works

Yep, cause your posts are always spot on.

 

[doperhopper]

fun fact: Les Gets paid ASO 80 000 EUR to get the TT, and further over 200 000 EUR to pave the forrest road for it - and this is just Dauphine, that brought them exacly zero new guests, just a bit of publicity... now imagine the Tour (this is just a tiny illustrative bit in the discussion about the "monopolist era" in cycling - and why ASO won't give up a cent without some killer attack)

I think Valgren was in the grupetto lol

Yes you are brilliant. You had a similar rant during the Giro where you were also facepalming and saying people were idiots for thinking the break would survive and then the break actually did survive. Ofcourse you never showed your face anymore in that thread.

Re:

Yeah, Brienne of Tarth has been dropped.

 

[hfer07]

Skybots ready to smash the pace

 

[The Blues]

Well, Valgren has been working on the front for a long time. Also, he wasn't dropped. His work for today was finished, so he obviously decided (or was told) to call it a day. He is definitely a better climber than this shows, and he was chatting with Kristoff going up, so it is not as if he was completely empty.

Attack by Kwiat!

Yeah, Brienne of Tarth has been dropped.

Brienne is like twice as big as Valgren though

Valgren is saving himself to eat a croissant 2 hours from now.

 

[rune1107]

Hagen dropped

 

[Jspear]

Gougeard has attacked up front

Re:

Think EBH could get back on during the flatter section - he has a few team-mates around. Steeper bit coming to an end now.

 

[Bushman]

What the heck is Kwiat doing? Killing himself to stay away with 15 k to go when he is probably one of the most explosive riders should it come down to the last ramp.

He probably doesnt have the shape

Hopefully Henao/Landa/Poels will attack up to him

He's on the Betancur training and racing plan?

Too me it looked like he was suffering a bit after attacking, but I'm usually wrong when it comes to reading the facial expressions of a rider.
