Back to non-fiction: Even this duo's grandmothers don't give them a chance.

 

[Eclipse]

Pretty sure I can actually see the peloton actively breaking

 

[Red Rick]

Finish is like Cipressa, flares are like the Capi

The re-rack took a while...

 

[gunara]

Just tuned in, 20k to go. Two-men breakaway? That many teams don't want to be seen in this stage?

 

[gregrowlerson]

No crashes please. Super packed bunch.

 

[Eclipse]

Alright, time to unmute and pay attention

RCS will not be happy with Bardiani. Eolo have Albanese to ride for and it's too early for the non-wildcard teams to go for the early break on a flat stage so that's basically the only other team you'd have expected...

At least they read the wind direction right.

 

[Netserk]

MvdP a bit behind the (B)DSM train.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Alpecin way out of position.

 

[Mayomaniac]

I have to say that I'm not a fan of the new Alpecin kit

 

[Mayomaniac]

Harm and Tratnik down

 

[Netserk]

Crash, Bahrain rider is not Landa!

 

[sir fly]

Cool crib on the hill...

 

[Ricco']

It's really like the Poggio as VDP is out of position.

 

[Netserk]

Well done, Lotto. Nizzolo behind Ewan.

 

[Lequack]

Crash, Bahrain rider is not Landa!

Unfortunetely it's Tratnik, he's always entertaining to watch. hopefully he can continue.

 

[Netserk]

It gets steeper with 3.6 km to go.

 

[Red Rick]

I honestly expected bigger GC trains here.

 

[Ricco']

The Comodoro Train is ready.

Nice practice to rail the Pordoi for VDP.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Wow no Ineos train.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Wow no Ineos train.

No, I spoke too soon.

 

[Netserk]

Steady now, but with just more than 1 km to go, I expect them to go full gas.

 

[Netserk]

Bora counter.
