Dombroski appears to have bird poo on his butt.

The story to be told at this point is the fight for the GPM. The jersey changed because Rosa crossed the top first, so of course that is the most important development to show.

If the pace was furious behind and many riders dropped or suffered, that would be worth showing too, but that has not happened.

We’re just asking for a little more balance so we can observe for ourselves what and why thing are not happening in the peloton. The ration on this climb I would estimate has been something like 95% of the time on the breakaways.

 

[Netserk]

Of course, when they reach Scafa I expect them to show the peloton half the time on the first uncategorised part of the climb.

It's a gel

Bahrain is a bit hurt atm and Bike Exchange is the most negative racing team in bike racing history, so it is what it is

Bike Exchange will ride to set up a Yates attack if he's feeling good or do nothing if he isn't, is that negative? I'm thinking more about the likes of Buchmann, Buitrago, Taaramae etc. Use them while they're still well placed because that probably won't last.

I'm not sure thats much better..

 

[Sciatic]

So there was just an example of why some of us want to see more of the peloton. They switched over the a brief view of a group off the front of the peloton in the descent. You could say “hey, they showed us what’s happening” but what we saw was the outcome, not how it happened . . . Not only who initiated but who was the one who let the wheel go in front of them. It doesn’t matter to me that it came to naught—I want to see the dynamic of the racing.

You can still watch the livestream on SBS On Demand before that.............

Thanks. Good to see that it's free too.

 

[Bonimenier]

They literally showed Rosa for 1,5 seconds and switched back to the peloton. Why are they so obsessed with the peloton?!

 

[dercuforever]

bad time to have a flat Kelderman ..

 

[Valv.Piti]

Absolutely, when the situation behind is so static.

You must really, really value the KOM then. Holy.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Kelderman back in

 

[dazaau]

1 minute gap and still we are denied any vision of the peloton. I mean just a little guys, come on. The break is practically irrelevant now

Yes, I am interested exclusively in the general classification. Allways and forever. In all races

 

[Netserk]

Blockhaus:

 

[Eclipse]

What do you guys think is actually happening in the bunch haha,.

Everyone is there it's a 5% gradient at most.

What about one day races?

There will be much opportunity to watch Ineos ride tempo, panic not.

 

[Netserk]

Narvaez, Tulett, Sivakov, Porte is the order.

I am flabbergasted that this kind of surprising action is occurring.

 

[Mayomaniac]

How long until Wilco takes out the motobikes and the train once again?

 

[Netserk]

Bota Lume getting hot, hot, hot!

 

[dazaau]

Got to get me some Richie Porte before he is gone forever Even if it is tempo in the skineos train

 

[Faserr]

I want to see the dynamics of the bunch. Breakaway is doomed since 4 hours.....

If I have to explain this...
