[DNP-Old]

Dennis Rohan has time for a chat and a laugh. He has mythical legs once more.

 

[Lequack]

Remco would take 5 minute, Giro over

True.

 

[Lequack]

I just don't want to see no more crashes on the descent pls.

 

[DNP-Old]

It's raining, cancel the stage.

Why are Ineos riding so hard? What's the point? All they're doing is eliminating their own chances of playing a tactical game with De Plus.

Lol what happen to Vine?

So that no one can attack

Wow, you're lucky you're not an Evenepoel fan if you get worked up over that comment, lol.

Not worked up, just don’t understand why people throw out these comments. To be honest I think it’s amusing how worked up people have been getting this Giro.

When Evenepoel was still here, i was hoping for Ineos to launch a nuclear attack with Sivakov, De Plus and Arensman. Now back to simple doms because Thomas has a huge advantage over Roglic of 2 seconds.

 

[Tim Cahill]

What are ineos doing setting a hard pace, you want the break to go lads, let them take all the bonus seconds off the inevitable Roglic sprint win.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Very explosive climb and stage. Love it.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Lol what happen to Vine?

I picked him to win

But why? Follow attacks and make Jumbo chase. Jumbo don't have other cards to play than Roglic.

 

[Aimar16]

Who is this Gee guy?

The comedy of wanting Croix de Coeur canceled, getting to skip rainy Grand Sant Bernard as a compromise, and now it's raining on Croix de Coeur.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

The number of links in the value chain is not what matters. What matters is how actions in one end affect those in the other.

Of course it matters because each connection is mediated by all kinds of other factors. Any random fan on their couch claiming to pay the rider’s wages is absurd. Each fan is a nearly valueless set of eyes on a logo, who might potentially but probably won’t pay for some commodity or service sold by a company which pays teams to wear outfits with those logos. Riders owe you nothing.

Considering team strength as of recently, Roglic taking 3 or 10 boniseconds might be a blessing for Ineos.

To be honest I doubt the Sant Bernard would really change the peloton group, would probably look about the same as now.

 

[Red Rick]

Peloton slowed down a bit.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Swifty to the rescue!

 

[Valv.Piti]

Another exhibition of how great these short and explosive stages are! Derek Gee with 1.30 on the peloton where the sprinter Ben Swift just rejoined!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Jens Voigt willing Bauhaus into the race!

 

[dazaau]

Pinot on a rampage, peloton slowed right down. Interesting

 

[Tommy Gun]

Pinot single-handedly saving the stage

 

[dazaau]

Bahrain on the front, excellent.
