Probably just the final hill and thats itSo the real racing starts in 80k
Alpecin probably rather tskes MvdP vs Ewan tham MvdP vs everyone else in a 15 man uncontrollable breakawayVery surprising to have a breakaway consisting of just three riders on a stage like this but here we are. Interesting that it's at Lotto's insistence, you'd think the likes of Alpecin will make the race too hard for Ewan.

Lots of incentives for Astana today and they have no sprinter apart from Nibali.

relax, your strain score is getting elevated ;-)GCN/Eurosport now promoting the Whoop band almost every stage. It's like watching the Lance stage podcast where he spends 10 minutes promoting various brands.
But this is the third day after it happened, so according to the precedent, he should be fine by now.I don't know how Landa avoided a head injury or bad road rash on his face.

It begs the question if stage 8 break didnt only take off cause Van der Poel kicked off and everyone realised they needed to be in the break
GC riders will attempt to follow. Should be a more exciting finale this wayAlpecin and Intermarché definitely needed to control this. Way too hard to control a15-20 man breakaway like you said. Bit surprised LTS is chasing tho, I see VdP and Girmay attacking on that last climb and there is simply no time to reel them back in.
Bais was actually a decent rider in the u23 ranks (2nd in the 2017 version of the Piccolo Giro dell' Emilia behind Vasov), no idea why he ended up being the guy for the TV breakaways after turning pro. Not many wins, but lots of top 10 and podium results in hilly one day races. He also finished top 10 on the gc in Sibiu and Bihor and 2nd in the Giro del Friuli (behind Champoussin, but ahead of Pellaud) before turning pro, no idea why he hasn't progressed at all.Close-up above shot of the escape trio doing the work..shows who's done core and form work or not. Prolly Naesen and De Marchi already told and agree w/ Druin Harper buddy he still needs to excerise one year more.
yeah, when I saw him in Tour of Romania 2018 I thought he'd be the next big thing. Tactically absolutely clueless, but super strong, and on the attack every day.Bais was actually a decent rider in the u23 ranks (2nd in the 2017 version of the Piccolo Giro dell' Emilia behind Vasov), no idea why he ended up being the guy for the TV breakaways after turning pro.
