Not to deal. Mortirolo is to kill. And in that area you may suddenly kill self too [;Blanco said:It would not be smart. Mortirolo is perfect to deal with Roglic.klintE said:I think it could be smart from Movistar/Carapaz to ride this defensive.
Roglic can be dealt later (f.e next day)
Yates will try to kill himself attacking from Aprica.
This is probably just a physiological difference between them.Lequack said:Roglic should learn from Dumoulin on how to tempo and not blow up. Dumoulin is incredibly hard to get rid of, he might get dropped but he seems to never go into the red and just calmly plows on.

I fear for Zakarin
Jumbo Visma car better get their act together early on
I think the break will make it and it will be between Mikkel Nieve, Thomas deGendt , & Ruben Plaza
GC will have a few post rest day fails

won't happen though. we'll see nothing until mortirolo and by that time i'd have fallen asleep (Australia time).
Blanco said:Koronin said:I can see Movistar allowing Landa to attack and forcing the other contenders to try to bring him back, that way giving Carapaz a free ride.
There's no such thing as free ride on the slopes of Mortirolo, it's basically every man for himself. I would go with Landa forcing the pace all the way, until Roglic hopefully drops. If not, then Carapaz needs to try himself.

Don't be so sure. Yates has really impressed me with his attacks. Sure they've been largely ineffective, but no denying they're ballsy

just wondering what is your problem with roglic, seems kind of strage as we were the same nation once
