Re: Re:

If Sky is smart, they put max pressure on, on the flat between the first 2 mountains, so none of the LottoJumbo boys get back on.

A lot of riders coming back apparently.

The same riders will probably quickly drop on the next climb. When the attacks come, Rogla 'only' has Kruijswijk.

If I were in Sky's shoes, I would have sent Castro or Rosa up the road to at least put the pressure on.

From FDJ's twitter earlier.

Re:

Wow, just noticed both Viviani and Gaviria OTL yesterday...... guess Moerkoev gets to sprint tomorrow

yeah but half the team is gone. With them not chasing and sunweb not chasing, the break will probs make it.

Agreed.

Break at just 1:24. Not letting De Gendt get too far away this time, huh?

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Almost at the top of the second climb. Nothing much happening just yet..........

Re:

Who's driving the pace in the peloton?

Looks like it's just gonna be a dog fight on the final climb, and LottoNL has no reason to pull the break back completely

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Pernsteiner virtual leader of the race now

 

[DNP-Old]

Sky taking over control now. Confidence in Egan must be Sky high.

 

[DNP-Old]

Bananito DNF...

 

[DNP-Old]

Dani Martinez attacking.

 

[Sestriere]

Attacks starting.

TJ - boom!

 

[Laplaz]

Sky should have send someone in the break instead of chasing now

 

[Valv.Piti]

Looks like a very good stage

Hoping Bernal can win it for Sky. Bananito apparently DNF, crash or just being bad?

 

[Red Rick]

Sky has nobody in front, I don't think Bernal can drop Roglic and stay away on his own. And I don't think Kruijswijk has had to do much either.

 

[Red Rick]

Sky pace not very high yet

 

[Red Rick]

Break gonna get caught before the top. Bernal will have to drop Roglic and solo it home.

Re:

Thomas sounded grumpy in the interview
perhaps he is not doing the full dom.

Easier part of climb coming up

 

[DNP-Old]

This is way too easy to counter for Roglic.

 

[Red Rick]

*** brilliant commercial.

Also, Sky was gone pretty quickly
