The race is difficult as hell for the riders, but boring as hell for the viewers. Ugh

Re:

So will something actually happen on Redoute?

There will be attacks on the second half of the côte but they will be reeled backs soon after.

I'm sorry , but have you not noticed Tommy V is off the front. How can things possibly be boring now!?

Let the gurning commence

 

[SeriousSam]

Will Tommy V win this Tour stage? Will the GC guys let him go?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Is it Ruben Fernandez taking all the turns at the front?

 

[Andy262]

Gap dropping very quickly now

 

[Irondan]

anyone got a live link that doesn't seem so choppy?

 

[TomLPC]

Get off the damn road

 

[rick james]

Stupid fan

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Nice drunken spectator lol

 

[del1962]

Voeckler reeled in pleased that is over

 

[Rollthedice]

A long procession to hand Valverde his 4th win.

In this route, in this weather, if someone wins in a sprint they deserve all credit and then some

 

[HelloDolly]

Worse conditions if you are standing by the road than cycling imo
Tough fans

If this race wants a place in my Hall of fame races, it needs to explode soon.
The weather alone isn't enough.

 

[rainman]

At least TV had a go, stupid tho it was. To see a big peloton trundling up La Redote seems all wrong.

 

[Gigs_98]

Not one single attack. Not even one!!!

 

[laurensde+]

Vamos bananito!

With bad enough weather, the most boring one-dimensional race can be remembered forever.
See LBL 1980

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Only 33 km's to the first attacks now.

It's Sutherland. Him and Erviti are working whole day

Ah okay, thanks. Thought he was quite big, but his face looks like Fernandez'.

If Piti soloed away 40km ago then maybe this will be remembered forever too

Now that we have had terrible weather for an Ardennes classic, we see that it makes it not better, but even worse
