Almeida doesn't look like he's suffering a lot in the rain today. He can be very distracted by the rain to the point he looses his compusure and looks quite funny, but today he looks calm.

Cataldo crash

 

[ontheroad]

Now looking a stage for GC again with the gap crumbling.

 

[ice&fire]

Not sure the last time it rained in the region but if it's been a long time the roads will be greasy. I suspect we won't see GC attacks until the final climb -- it's long and shallow enough that a chaser could be brought back with team tactics.

Some teams might try to find out who's undercooked in the second last climb

 

[noob]

Ouch

 

[SafeBet]

Who went down?

 

[Samamba]

It's happening

 

[ontheroad]

Another crash. This next descent is going to be treacherous in these conditions.

 

[Samamba]

Bro why would they keep showing that, the guy is actually hurt seriously what

 

[Lequack]

Man I hope the peloton takes it easy on these descents, especially after the coming climb.

 

[Samamba]

Almeida crashed too I think.

 

[Bonimenier]

Since his top 10 in the Vuelta Hagen had quite a lot of bad luck.

 

[Lequack]

There is a split in the peloton.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Theres a big attack/split and they are just focusing on someone screaming in agony

 

[SafeBet]

Ineos keeps pushing, small group at the front.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Yeah, ridiculous, guy screaming in pain on the ground - LET'S ZOOM IN ON THAT.

Meanwhile, German ES took about 5 minutes to realize that there has been a gap in the peleton with Ineos drilling it.

Almeida crashed too I think.

Crashed on the wet descent, or was held up by the crash? :O Any story of Almeida crashing I believe it when I see it.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Someone just told Ben Turner it was the Tour of Flanders

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Since his top 10 in the Vuelta Hagen had quite a lot of bad luck.

I'm not watching yet, did he look badly hurt?
My hopes were high for him this Vuelta, he's been showing nice form lately and looked good on the stage Roglic won. Was hoping for a top 15 in GC.

 

[topcat]

QS: thanks Ineos, now we'll kick your asses.

 

[perico]

So Ineos attacked the red jersey caught behind a crash.

 

[MrTea1976]

Ineos attacked about five minutes before the crash.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Padun detonation! Absolutely vintage

 

[Samamba]

Not sure he fully crashed but he lost ground because of it. He seems to be back almost.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Padun
not dun

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Padun Joux Plane special is back baby!
