Re: Re:

Bisolti to surprise Wellens

He doesn't exactly have a great track record when it comes to winning races, but as a Belgian I can never believe that a Belgian will win

But Bisolti can climb. He's maybe better on longer climbs then Wellens.

But the fact he was in the break for some time, might play in it's disadvantage.

How far down on GC is Wellens?

 

[SeriousSam]

Re:

Nobody cares to chase maybe?

 

[Bushman]

[dacooley]

I know, I know. Just exaggerating, because I'm disappointed by Valverde's and Ulissi's lack of ambition. . .

Orica waited too long again...once again.

Boring stage. Expect boring finish. GC will just stare at eachother if there are already 5 breakaway riders crossing the line...

 

[Hugo Koblet]

What the hell is Orica doing?

Nothing GC wise was ever happening on this stage anyway.

He hasn't shown much of that form since the Baby Giro as far as I have seen, but he's Italian and probably insanely motivated now.

Pippo and Cance talking at the back, probably about a very interesting topic, is it ok to neutralize a drinking contest because of extreme beer temperatures?

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

And people called the Netherlands stages boring...

I expected at least Ulissi or Chaves trying something. Even Valverde or someone like Firsanov ? Just disappointed if they just climb it without anything happening.

Wellens' face reminds me of Santambrogio.

Re:

Somehow now Cunego really missed this move.

I imagine the peloton would be chasing harder if he was there - he would nearly be in the top 10 if the break held this lead

Santambrogio.. I miss that guy!
