Last time a worlds had this many DNFs was Firenze no?

 

[42x16ss]

Bring out the Weening memes

He's setting a fierce pace

 

[Brullnux]

This could've been a really exciting race with better weather, the circuit is really fun

 

[Singularitarian]

should they tell the peloton that pictures are back?

 

[Orbit501]

Add in Cimolai to the lesser sprinters still there.

 

[JosephK]

MVDP looking ominous/ready.

 

[MatParker117]

Valverde done

 

[RedheadDane]

Rojas, Dion Smith and Pedersen out

Asgreen and Pedersen (both DEN) gone

Just to clarify. It's Casper.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Asgreen and Pedersen (both DEN) gone

Casper Pedersen, that is.

Mads Pedersen is still there and this is exactly the kind of race he likes.

 

[42x16ss]

MVDP looking ominous/ready.

I think he's going to do something awesome

 

[Breezy1985]

What's the record for least finishers ? Florence was 61 and weather was crap there too

 

[Velolover2]

Spain have almost no riders left.

 

[42x16ss]

Spain have almost no riders left.

Soler, Sanchez, Izaguirre and Castroviejo hanging on for dear life

Imagine there's only 20 dudes who are not completely dead yet

 

[postmanhat]

My prediction is that everything completely explodes as soon as there is a serious move. Most doms are gone, everyone is miserable and tired.

I think there might be more unused doms left than anticipated, due to the climbs being removed and the fairly tame nature of the racing so far. Also riders like Mohoric and Jungels, who have to go long, are out, which means we probably won't see anything happen till the last two laps.

Am increasingly pessimistic that this will end in a small bunch sprint

 

[elfed68]

I’ve just come in and missed the start of the race, anything big happened?

 

[spalco]

Tissot still counts 86 guys.

Atrocious conditions, route change due to flood and riders dropping like flies

 

[Vino's Mum]

¡Vamos Bananito!

 

[Red Rick]

Thomas 2nd to last of the group across the finish

 

[JosephK]

Four riders will finish.

 

[Simurgh]

Avermaet, Sagan, Stybar, Alaphilippe, Betancur, Boasson Hagen, Wellens, Fuglsang and about 80 others still in the peloton.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Tissot still counts 86 guys.

Yup

 

[KZD]

Tissot still counts 86 guys.

85 now because Castroviejo just quit
