It went there

Great racing as ever with Stradi. Alaphillipe jumped on to that move super quick.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Daaaaamn Fuglsang is looking strong.

 

[Akuryo]

That looked so easy for Alafpolak to follow. He is the man to beat today!

 

[sir fly]

Will be interesting to see where will Fuglsang make a move.
He can't wait for the final against Alaphilippe.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Looks like Wellens is the only one working to chase..... sacrificing himself for Benoot.

 

[tobydawq]

Romain Seigle... What a performance.

The final hill in Siena, from the bottom, is where he makes his move.

 

[Carols]

Alaphilippe looking good...Wolfpack anyone?

 

[Krokro]

Fuglsang looks really in form. He's probably going all in in the last sector otherwise it's done for him

 

[fuiers]

Fuglsang is lookin a bit more fresher in my viewing. It will be an interesting final.

 

[Climbing]

Fuglsang should try now.

 

[Akuryo]

1.30 now. Its Alaphilippe vs Fuglsang for sure.

 

[Vroome.exe]

No way is Ala losing this.

Not certain you are right, remember Fuglsang is in way better race form, because Alaphilippe just came off training in Colombia.

But under normal circumstances you are right..... but in the race situation, dropping Alaphillipe too early, will release the other DQ riders, and make the whole group behind work.

 

[spalco]

Fuglsang is looking kind of heavy.

 

[sir fly]

Alaphilippe matching every acceleration, but looks like he's putting more effort in it.
Maybe just a matter of style. We'll see.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Re:

He usually does in spring. His form is timed for the tour.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Is Alaphilippe acting or blown?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Well, Van Aert looking better than i expected.

I'm affraid you're right. Ala seems cooked or he might be bluffing but I don't think so.

Re:

More impressing is that he has not dropped from that 30sec gap.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Re:

I think both. He knows Fuglsang is stronger, so he's acting he's even worse than he is.

 

[Akuryo]

I'm just happy I dont have to listen to Kirby today. He would've had a field day the way Clarke is riding.

This is awesome as long as the footage doesnt break up
