Why is Moschetti mentioned by some as a potential winner today? Isn't he too bad of a climber to be in contention?

Hatta Dam.

Watching the grass grow.

 

[HelloDolly]

Too many flat stages in a row.....should have mixed it up more imo

 

[sir fly]

Simmental?
Healthy views...

 

[Rollthedice]

While rolling with about 25km/h, Jumbo are thinking to pass the pink to Savio's team.

 

[sir fly]

Yeah...
They might trade the baton.

 

[King Boonen]

Bora know Jumbo ain't serious, will anyone else help out...

235 km, up and down all day, sprinters will have heavy legs in the final.

A late attack could disrupt the lead-out also

Yeah, but then they are going 3 minutes slower than maybe the worst break of all time, so we'll see.

 

[sir fly]

Neither the rain nor the sweat are making them wet today.
With such a rise at the end, the finale will surely be exciting.

 

[King Boonen]

So who's going to attack the break..?

2s behind Ewan on Hatta Dam. If Ewan is a contender then Moschetti probably deserves a mention too.

Yeah, I'm aware of that result, but the short, explosive effort needed to do well on Hatta Dam doesn't really compare to what's required today. Heck, even Kittel has been in contention on Hatta Dam and he would have no chance of winning this stage.

 

[More Strides than Rides]

Another Crash. Large disruption

Not necessarily agreeing with it, but I'm sure that's the reasoning.

Big split after the crash. About 20 in front with Roglic there.

Dumoulin far back after falling.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Almost the entire Katusha team gets wiped out except Zakarin

 

[King Boonen]

Roglic at the front, no Yates or Nibs?

 

[Climbing]

TROUBLE !

 

[TourOfSardinia]

chaotic crash there

 

[Red Rick]

Goddamnit

 

[Rollthedice]

Drama.

 

[King Boonen]

No Superman?
