Re:

Minaard is pretty fast, isn't he?

No clue
But he has 0 pro victories

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Matthews lack of racing showing up again

 

[DNP-Old]

Bernal 5th or 6th. He's good.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

What was Bahrain doing?

 

[jaylew]

Fraile outsprints Colbrelli?

Re:

I just hoped this is raced hard. If it comes down to a larger group that Matthews outsprints that will be wholly disappointing.

Really interested to see how Bernal goes this week. Dear god it's incredible the talent coming out of Colombia (and, specifically, Boyaca) at the moment.

But I'll go with Omar Fraile to take a typically opportunistic win.

well done!

 

[DNP-Old]

Weird tactics (or lack thereof) by Bahrain though. Colbrelli wins this with 12 bike lengths if he doesn't have to go that early. Ion, Gorka and Gaspa haev to do more.

 

[Netserk]

Shame on Gaspa and the Izagirre brothers.

Anyway, very nice finale, and huge respect for Gougeard!

edit: I can see Gaspa wasn't in the group, so shame only on the brothers

Uphill

 

[Alexandre B.]

Gaudu almost pulled it off.

Wasn't it Molard? On my stream each rider was like 3 pixels

Uphill

Which Sonny is good at.

It was Gaudu. Molard came 4th in the sprint.

Aye, but he went with what, 400m? to go.

 

[GuyIncognito]

Seemed to me that Fraile went at the same time. Simply Colbrelli can't handle that long of an effort on a climb like Fraile can.

But, I didn't catch any replays.


To be clear, I believe I saw them go at the same time, each on one side of Gaudu

 

[LaFlorecita]

Re:

Sonny went early and then Fraile came around him just before the final curve. From what I recall.

how did
Roglic and Dennis drop a second?

They didn't. They were +1 from Matthews. So now Thomas et.al. are 1 second closer to the lead.

[GuyIncognito]

I see what you mean. I'm not sure he was sprinting, so much as accelerating a little to go into the last few turns in the lead

 

[Netserk]

Yeah, initially I thought he was longer on the front when he pulled Gaudu(?) back before the turn, but I'm still sure it mattered.

Now i'm asking you, who will win tomorrow?
