Don't know why Lambrecht made that move. I doubt that this group will stay ahead. Did he just want the mountain points?

With a decimated peloton they are not gonna be easy to catch. If Bennett is back in the peloton they might be caught, not sure otherwise

Edit: who are MS working for?

Impey

I would suggest the opposite - if Bennett is back they are more likely to stay away because his team is dead and his presence would discourage other teams.

Of course.

Naesen looks cooked, hasnt taken a turn for a while now. Might be the end of the break if he doesnt start working soon.

Perhaps you are right. MS working hard now, guess Bahrain will have to contribute soon as well with Colbrelli in the group

Delighted I put EBH in my fantasy team.

7 years ago it was the other way around.

Weird finish, like they were all leading out for an invisible sprinter.

That was impressive by Eddy. Had to make up a lot of ground on Gilbert & Van Aert, who were in the first positions all the way.

EBH and Gilbert have finished 1-2 in many other races.

But I don't really find this stage comparable to the Valkenburg WCH at all

Three times before, to be precise. :D

Nice gaps between the groups at the finish.
It's been hard racing, but seems to be more about the riders' shape.

Yeah, and the Vuelta stage in 2013 is a lot more comparable to today than an uphill sprint on Cauberg, where Gilbert did not directly sprint against EBH. I just simply found the comment odd, to be honest. Why make the comparison with the 2012 WCH when the two races have very little in common and is not even the last time it happened before today? :confused:
