[Zinoviev Letter]

Action starts

 

[Breh]

Sagan DNF

 

[sir fly]

Too bad there's no aerial shot to see the damage behind.
The group behind's stretched but not much broken, I'd say.

Re: Re:

Honestly I’m not telling lies. This is the worst day we’ve had for months. The weather has been good up until today

Sprinters have it easy usually so the weather will at least spice it up a bit.

If only Wellens was there. Now GVA will just have to win instead.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Van der Poel very much there.

 

[sir fly]

Textbook riding from the latest three attackers.

Here comes Mohoric!

 

[SlickMongoose]

I can't imagine Rowe winning this, so I dunno what Thwaites is doing.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Gap has gone out significantly and the pack aren’t organized

 

[Norbea]

Kristoff had a puncture and has lost all his team mates in the fight to get back. He is in the pack, but isolated.

 

[sir fly]

They're all there inside bike lengths distance, but some confusion seems to be present.
Like they'd try something but not sure.

This is the worst coverage I have seen of a bike race in years.

No time gapes, no idea who is in what group...... it's seems entirely amateurish.

Who is producing it?

No race radio so no time gaps for the riders, it’s onky fair us fans sitting on our arses get the same treatment

The helicopter seems to be in charge of Montenegro.

 

[SlickMongoose]

And no aerial shots thanks to the weather.

 

[rick james]

Rain off, crowds at the side of the road growing

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Why are you all complaining? It's a nice race so far.

Re:

Yeah it's been great. It's a good course, much tougher than it looks on the profile, and the weather helps.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Van Aert and Van der Poel in the 2nd group

 

[SlickMongoose]

Belgium chasing Belgium.

 

[rick james]

It’s crazy to think they still have 50K to go

Re:

It was mid march when he crashed suffering 3 neck fractures, 6 spinal fractures (requiring a 5 hour operation to pin and fuse the vertebrae, 2 rib fractures, sternum fracture, pnuemothorax and ligament damage. He is probably using this race to flag up the fact that he has recovered and can still perform at this level, given he is out of contract.
