[Flamin]

Wellens showing big balls again but this effort is gonna cost a lot.

 

[Gigs_98]

C'mon Tim

 

[Saint Unix]

Stop the press! Valverde is sucking wheels.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Valverde wheelsucking again.

 

[DFA123]

All kicking off now.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Bye bye Wellens.

 

[Brullnux]

Jesus Kwiat

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Kwiatkowski is in monster form!

 

[DFA123]

This is going to be a really elite group if the GVA group bridges.

 

[El Pistolero]

Valverde wheelsucking again.

 

[Screecher]

And where is Matthews? Didn´t he say he wanted to change his riding style?

 

[Saint Unix]

I think we can rule out the boring Aussie bunch sprint win option already.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Matthews not strong enough to do anything

 

[Gigs_98]

This is really looking great for Kwiat

 

[Hugo Koblet]

GVA doesn't look strong today.

Re:

Tbf he is trying to pull himself across - just didn't have the power on the climb.

 

[Arredondo]

Kwiat in absolute monster shape.

We've got our winner!

Ah, OK. He mustn't have the power then. No reason to be still in the peloton otherwise.

 

[sir fly]

Excellent racing.

Re:

Well, he does have a team-mate in the front group. Pretty standard not to be working full out.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

I thought it seemed daft for Jungels to be dragging Mathews closer to Gilbert.

True, but it's really strange that he didn't try to get himself into that group.
