[TourOfSardinia]

The Rai are doing the same for Ciccone

 

[Red Rick]

GG Ciccone. By far the strongest today

 

[Netserk]

Five seconds of the pink jersey group!

Four too many.

I'll allow it.

Why no Landa attack? Must be bad legs

Bora having a rest day. Ineos happy with a low pace. Bahrain going for the stage. Looks like the GC group is taking the day off.

 

[Red Rick]

Race design was trash after all

Martin doesn’t agree with this statement

 

[sir fly]

Maybe someone should try something in the leaders' group.
They're riding pretty steadily.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Can someone explain me the tactics of Bahrain?

 

[skippo12]

Martin doesn’t agree with this statement

Movistar not going all out to defend the 10th place...How dare they.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Yea, the leader's group is clearly happily settling for a status quo at the end of the day at the moment, they've lost about a minute on the climb already. I'm trying to peer at the group when they show it briefly to see if Sepp Kuss has snuck out from behind a tree like Riccardo Riccò at a Gran Fondo in order to ensure everybody is in agreement that nothing interesting should happen.

 

[saganftw]

the final climb doesnt suit Landa at all

 

[StryderHells]

Marrin doesn’t agree with this statement

Can someone explain me the tactics of Bahrain?

throw enough crap against the wall and hope something sticks?!

 

[Velolover2]

Peloton is not THAT big.

 

[Netserk]

Can someone explain me the tactics of Bahrain?

Wait for better legs.

Valverde deliberately losing time (to Martin) to go nito breakaways and hunt stages later.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Peloton spotted

He is not good at pacing himself on those shallow gradients. Would be a waste of energy. He has to take his chances in the third week.

Does‘t change the fact Martin is a bike racer and goes for it.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Valverde deliberately losing time (to Martin) to go nito breakaways and hunt stages later.

Or, he knows that Guillaume Martin will lose 20 minutes for nothing on a random stage next week before going attacking again because he realised it was Guillaume Martin. Nobody ever fears losing time to Guillaume Martin because he's so inconsistent, one day he's going to win something big just by nobody paying him any mind and then him shocking us all by not capitulating straight after.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Wow look at that double bridge! Over a waterfall as well, some Claude Monet Sh*t.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Fun start and all in all an entertaining breakaway, but Ciccone is just a bit too strong today. Behind people are resting, which I guess is fair.

 

[AlfaLum]

Ciccone is a strange rider. I will only be confident when he still has this margin going into the final 5km..

 

[skippo12]

Does‘t change the fact Martin is a bike racer and goes for it.

Without a doubt. And for a team like Cofidis he is the perfect GC option. No support needed. Outperforming superior climbers in the GC. Delivering results. Scoring valuable points.
