Bernal relaxed

 

[Red Rick]

Bernal can easily drop a minute to Yates today and not be any danger

 

[titan31]

Caruso needs to work with Almeida there. Both of them should ride together here

 

[lenric]

bernal looking like his soul is leaving his body

 

[Gigs_98]

Bernal not too far behind yet. He probably doesn't feel great but he's not cracking either

 

[limak_]

Bernal saving himself for the last 4,5 km, you'll see

 

[TourOfSardinia]

3rd week Yates?

 

[Valv.Piti]

Shouldn't Bennett try to help Foss?

Nah, Bouwman is in the group and Ineos is basically helping him

 

[ppanther92]

After all these years Yates has finally learned the art of peaking in the third week. Incredible.

Reverse Yates

 

[Anybody_but..]

Bernal relaxed

Looks like.

 

[Panda Claws]

Still more needed if the final TT is to be interesting.

Although it looks unlikely that Bernal will ride his best TT. Unless he is saving energy for that.

 

[Scarponi]

Race would be so much better without Ineos team pacing

 

[Eclipse]

It's so in play Caruso is actually riding actively

 

[ppanther92]

Bernal can easily drop a minute to Yates today and not be any danger

And then again tomorrow?

 

[trevim]

I think Bernal is playing the long game also for tomorrow stagr

 

[JosefK]

Bernal's domestiques will feel it tomorrow.

 

[Cassirer]

Bernal relaxed

To me He looks rather dead

 

[Pricey_sky]

And then again tomorrow?

Yes. He won’t lose 1”20 in the final TT.

More about his shape. Even if he can limit the damage today. The way he looks right now they are going to burry him on the San Bernadino.

 

[Rollthedice]

Bernal looks spent.

 

[ppanther92]

Yes. He won’t lose 1”20 in the final TT.

To Yates not. To Caruso he might.

 

[Escarabajo]

Ineos really calmed!!!

 

[Panda Claws]

Thanks to Almeida we did get to see early attacks vs the Ineos train again. We don't get that often anymore but it's still just as frustrating as it was in Tour 2012.

 

[limak_]

Bernal looks spent.

I don't think so.

 

[SafeBet]

Bardet in trouble.
