Lotto will probably come out fighting today. I think we might see some HARM done on today's stage.

Did you write that before or after he attacked?

And... Pellaud's on the attack now...

Before, but I had already seen him hovering ready to go tbf.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Gigi's going with Ciccone (or Eieeone)

Yeah, the problem with this stage is definitely that it will impossible to get rid of the best domestiques before the final climb. So they should either had put in some climbs with steeper sections, or thrown in some more with similar gradients and made the stage over 200 km long.

Dear commentators, there are probably two parts with action on these stages: start and final. You can talk about everything else for like 3 hours. Why do you have to do it in the beginning, when there's actually racing? Why can't you comment on racing when it's happening? If I just want some background sound which has nothing to do with it I could just turn on the radio or a football podcast.

 

[Orbit501]

Half hour of racing for the break to finally go will be perfect. Then it's over to Tro Bro Leon live and back to catch up on Giro this evening.

 

[capuldemetal]

dutch comentators say that masnada is in the break..

 

[limak_]

CX rider, American youngster and Ecuadorian climber sounds like a pretty breakaway

 

[titan31]

That would be a big group to allow away

 

[Poursuivant]

Such a crap stage design for the weekend, today and yesterday.

I'm hoping Tro Bro Leon finishes a bit early, so can switch over for the final sterrato section. Then a replay of Pidcock v MVDP in the MTB. What a fantastic Sunday to be a cycling fan

There's also Hungary, and the women down in Spain.
Unfortunately no coverage of Mallorca.

Is he ever right about anything btw?

True. Unfortunately I also have some minor biological requirements to move/eat at some stage

 

[titan31]

That's a strong break and must be about 20+ too

You... know you can eat in front of the tv/whatever you're watching on, right...

 

[Faserr]

Quick Step tried to block with Evenepoel

 

[dampframme]

I think 15 in front with Mollema

 

[Mayomaniac]

Ok, what are UAE doing atm?

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

It should be perfectly acceptable to throw bidons at anyone who tries to block the road

 

[Rollthedice]

UAE doesn't like the break.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Is he ever right about anything btw?

Rarely is my impression.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Everyone’s going to just love UAE for this lol

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Got to love Bahrain!

 

[Rollthedice]

Caruso in the break!
