Re:

De Gendt going for the KOM points, what a surprise

must win the stage to grab the jersey

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Very strong break. I'll be surprised if they bring this back.

Re:

Is Atapuma a general classification threat here? Finished 9th in the Giro.

Would love to see him pull a Pereiro.

3'30 is not enough time, and they won't give him much more.

Did I say Zubeldia from the break, I meant Atapuma.

For another Pereiro, you'd need Kruijswijk in the leaders jersey so that Rabofail are supposed to chase

Not wishing to derail the thread but I have often wondered if the real reason that Rabobank ended their sponsorship was due to the fact that the term 'rabofail' was gaining a foothold in the lexicon of more than one language.

below Kudo's seat is a DD sort of telemetry or a camera??

It's the breakaway's to lose.

Will they take the jersey too?

If they're caught they should all retire.

De Gendt wasting so much energy

Atapuma can.

 

[huangho]

So, Atapuma will be in red, is he (And of course BMC) good enough to keep it??

Re:

that's what i wanted to say too, why is he pulling so much, he is not even the best climber there and already wasting too much energy

Re:

He could potentially finish top 5 if he gains 3 minutes or more today

 

[Lexman]

Tinkoff pulling...

Re: Re:

I don't think he will be allowed to get more than a minute...

Brand new tarmac...

If he's in absolute top shape, yes.
Otherwise, I don't think so.

I think he will need more than 3 minutes today in order to finish in the top 5. Best case, this helps his top 10 aspirations

Tinkov pacing.
