Doesn't look like Vlasov. Would also be the slowest wheel change ever he was still standing there.

It might have been better to let Mohoric do his own descent and then Mader gets a free ride. As it is they haven't really gained anything from that descentMäder himself is also a great descender, they are going all in for a potential stage win, even if the chances are really slim atm.
who else would have a teammate stop though?Doesn't look like Vlasov. Would also be the slowest wheel change ever he was still standing there.
You're welcome to try changing a wheel with disc brakes and wet (possibly frozen) fingers.Doesn't look like Vlasov. Would also be the slowest wheel change ever he was still standing there.
Vlasov is still in the Bernal groupwho else would have a teammate stop though?
They were still busy taking the wheel off. Even with disc brakes and wet fingers that doesn't take over 2 mins.You're welcome to try changing a wheel with disc brakes and wet (possibly frozen) fingers.
I fear for Nibbles here
Was going to write the same. Isn't it just wasting your energy before the last climb, where whole Ineos pulling at the back...Bit of a suicide move for Bardet and Ciccone, there are 30 kms in the valley before the final climb.
There's too much false flat, it's a suicide.
He does have a teammate in the front who probably is the best climber of the break.Ciccone skipping turns?
Where is remco in the front group, i can't spot him?
They are wearing dark rain jackets with dark grey thermal vests over those. White helmets.Where is remco in the front group, i can't spot him?
I feel Trek has a better chance if they can join the front group. Bardet is a danger, but the peloton is pushing hard. Probably Ciccone is saving his legs when the peloton comes back.He does have a teammate in the front who probably is the best climber of the break.
