2020 World Championships - now confirmed for Imola, Italy.

[Red Rick]

France rips it for one climb and there's 30 guys left.

 

[KZD]

France is drilling this really hard so maybe Alaphilippe is feeling better than during the Tour

 

[Rollthedice]

Nans is killing himself in front.

 

[Gigs_98]

Brutal pace this. A lot of suffering faces in the peloton

 

[TomLPC]

Julian Alaphilippe, as described by Randy Savage

Hard to say. If he's feeling rubbish he'll still attack it'll just be probably in a ridiculous place rather than a race winning one

 

[gregrowlerson]

It is a race now

allez

Cafe is closed.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Peters is making it look like he's put in about 10 flat out sprints already.

 

[Jagartrott]

France seems to be burning matches early.
You can also see a problem for attackers: after the climbs, you are in the disadvantage riding solo. Those in the wheels in the peloton were freewheeling, while Peters looked like he was deep in pain.

In the womens race the group that got away on the final climb held off the chasers really easily.

Depth of quality in the field is much higher here, so I don't think we will see the same here - unless there are tactical games behind and no team is willing to commit to the chase.

 

[Rollthedice]

It will be a 30 riders sprint finish.

 

[BlueRoads]

Since the French are coached by Voeckler their tactics don't need to make so much sense.

A 'stage 6' special!

 

[skippo12]

Roglic has a lot of work to do if he wants to make it back to the front.

 

[KZD]

It will be a 30 riders sprint finish.

I doubt that we will see that many.
A solo finish or around 10 riders is more likely

 

[SarahtheDane]

Now watch Pogacar win this as a domestic.

 

[Rollthedice]

A 'stage 6' special!

There will be more riders in the final than in Doha.

 

[Eclipse]

This explains so much

Kenny Elissonde helping to drill it on the flat.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Get out in front before the rain comes - that's the move to make if it's possible

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Pog gonna take his ITT bike

 

[Gigs_98]

Is Nibali even still in the group? Can't see him.

 

[BlueRoads]

Some minutes ago I wanted to say no mechanical for Tadej or Julian so far!

 

[Flamin]

No live tracking with who's where on the finish line?
