Anybody have usable stream in US?

If you subscribe to NBC Sports Gold, they are carrying it.

Re: Re:

Kwia has already said he'll likely keep his powder dry until the final Mur ascent.

He dropped Valverde the other day, so I can't blame him.

not the same type of climb though

Not to mention no point of both Henao and Kwiat waiting til the Mur

Shocking isn't it?

 

[gospina]

Betancur, Uran and Henao all there. Can this be the first Colombian spring classic win?

 

[MikeTichondrius]

Jungels goes. Early? Or worth a shot?

 

[Valv.Piti]

Interesting break! Big fan of Jungels.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Betancur in action again

 

[therhodeo]

Jungels went at this point last year.

De Marchi is a strong fellow isn't he? Too bad he doesn't have a couple of companions.

Jungels will reach him pretty soon I guess.

 

[portugal11]

Kwiat looks super strong.

 

[Mr.White]

No significant attacks, big teams want sprint up the Mur it seems. Good luck with that!

"Jungels is more for the flats" ... 6th in the Giro last year

Eurosport I'm guessing? I luckily have the luxury of being able to watch Sporza .

Anyway, sprint up the Mur seems pretty inevitable at this point. Still a huge peloton

Well he's a pretty decent all-rounder. I can see his TT ability being of use. Not much of an explosive climber though if I recall. Been a fan of the guy since that Lacets de Montvernier stage in the 2015 TDF that Bardet won.

Yep, Eurosport. I should be used to stuff like this

*Orica doing a bunch of work for Henao. There, fixed

 

[Saint Unix]

How much time does Bobby BJ need going into the Mur to keep Valverde away?

 

[Akuryo]

I had a feeling that Jungels was way more comfortable the last few kilometers. Makes sense to go solo now!
