Where's Almeida?

 

[Bolder]

Such a pleasure to watch MvdP descend. He's on quite a good day, I think, but even so not sure he can win.

 

[Sciatic]

If MVDP wins this.. everyone will start making post about how he can win the Tour.

I thought we did that with everyone now

Watching a really good descender is one of my biggest pleasures in cycling, it looks so stylish and controlled.

 

[sir fly]

Is it some holiday in the Netherlands?

 

[Netserk]

Verrogne:

 

[Red Rick]

Some solid breakaway tactics by Jumbo here.

 

[groogster]

Stage for Almeida after drop all them on the last descend

Where's Almeida?

on the peloton getting ready to drop the competition on the last descent

 

[Red Rick]

MVDP can win this if he can climb at a reasonably competent level here and then close gaps back at the descent. The lightning start should have taken less out of him than the pocket climbers

Nah, I think Bouwman can put a minute into him on the last climb.

If Van Aert can win on the double Mont Ventoux stage, why not VdP on Cogne?

Only potential dropping Almedia will be doing on a descent is a Thelma and Louise style manoeuvre.

Don't know. Probably the first time MvdP is really trying on big climbs, and I'm not sure I like Bouwman over MvdP on 3% gradients.

Also, Bouwman probably just gets dropped on the Verrognes descent

 

[Red Rick]

Imagine trying to climb a mountain while Wiggins is shouting "there's a lot of dead wood here" in his mic

 

[sir fly]

Just a matter of time before the specialists in the breakaway step up.
They just can't wait Cogne.

 

[spalco]

I don't think one of the trio will win the stage, but if the lead sticks MVdP should have a chance imo.

 

[HelloDolly]

Imagine you are riding along in the break , trying your best to hang on and Wiggo pulls up and says
"Nothing here now but dead wood"

 

[groogster]

No, he will take a ride with Wiggins on that last descent, no way they can drop him

 

[spalco]

Imagine trying to climb a mountain while Wiggins is shouting "there's a lot of dead wood here" in his mic

While sounding like he has a bottle of gin hidden in his jacket, and it's getting almost empty.

 

[BR2]

Are they showing the peloton, too, or only the break again?

 

[HelloDolly]

Sosa and Arnesman gettign to grips with how hard GT racing is

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Kudos to Kudus, he's really driving the pace of the chase.

 

[Rollthedice]

From now on we will only, exclusively and from many angles get the opportunity to watch the break.

 

[HelloDolly]

Yesterday Wiggins told a team car trying to pass him to
"Shut up "

He is the one in the way not the team car

 

[Netserk]

From now on we will only, exclusively and from many angles get the opportunity to watch the break.

Once in a while we'll see the furious pace of Swift in the bunch.
