Who was the guy moving forward around everyone like the pace was easy? was it GVA?

 

[Alexandre B.]

Very good race by Cofidis.

 

[Red Rick]

ASO MC

Re:

Valverde and Kwai not there.

Neither is Dan Martin

 

[Ikbengodniet]

Thank god Kreuziger is in this race.

Re:

How many bikes do they need ffs

Thought the same. Way, way too many. What is it though? Photographers?

 

[Forever The Best]

Kreuziger going again.

Re: Re:

BMC trying to slow down the pace and the other teams aren't reacting.

GVA is beginning to be very, very dangerous.

I think Matthews even more so. If it stays as a peloton, he can go all out on San Nicholas, close any small gap and recover on that 10km of flat. Then he has as a good a shot as anyone on Ans.

I think he is working for Barguil. Saw him taking some rare pulls.

Damn, poor Perez, looks absolutely done for

 

[Andro]

How is the peloton this big with 18 km left of LBL?

I think he is working for Barguil. Same him taking some rare pulls.

Yeah, perhaps. But, then again, if he's still there going into the San Nicholas, surely that plan has to change?

Movi, Sky and QS waiting. Why?!

Re:

Turns out it was Wellens

 

[WheelofGear]

Valverde only caring about Kwiatkowski, lol. Same as that edition where he only cared about Gilbert.

 

[CyclingEnthusiast]

Wellens and Kreuziger would be an awesome duo to go clear with a big gap or to bring some riders with them

Re:

Way too large. 40-50.

 

[Forever The Best]

This race is missing Gilbert.

 

[WheelofGear]

GVA is still there, lol. He is likely to win now.

Re:

Because it's all gonna be decided on the last climb. Breakaway is under control.

 

[Flamin]

Very nice group if they cooperate

Is it?

It's a very strong break.

 

[TomLPC]

17 seconds by my watch

Would you make him favourite against Valverde on a 1km finish at 5%? Tough call I think, but I'd probably still give Valverde the slight edge.
