Google not doing a great job translating the updates to Danish.

"The frog has taken the race"

"19 bike races with a very small head"

"The trap has been caught by ARMEE (LTS, 62) and STORER (SUN, 156)"

The live images won't be that amusing.

The climbs are crazy steep in places but not long so it'll take some teamwork and attacking from far out to claw back minutes on GC.

It depends on how they race on these climbs. You can lose more time on a steep 5k climb than on a 7% 15k climb. If you park your bike on a 19% section, even if it's only 300 meters, those 300 meters can take minutes.

300m at 19% should take minutes even if you're flying

Yes, it was in reference to one rider parking his bike, and another rider not, and what gap that might cause in GC.

I think the official website uses Google Translate for their English version of Live updates.

 

[Lequack]

Basque language is so weird.

They don't. It wouldn't use a nonexistent inflection like this:

Leading group has been catched

Yeah, nobody knows where did it come from, but it sure isn't from here.

LOL, sounds like automatic translations from 10 years ago.

 

[Laplaz]

Mas attack!

 

[Akuryo]

Well, we know where he learned that one. So much for "I'm not the new Contador"

 

[Taxus4a]

I think Landa can do it within today and tomorrow. He is not at his best level, bur he is motivated, not bad and with not big pressure.Today is not the typical stage od Arrate with San MIguel.. there is not flat just before the last climb, you can plain and attack from long.
The situation is good to a great race. Strong people as Landa, Yates or Pogacar have to recover big time. as well as other strog riders has to attack to the leader. The leader is in great shape but he hasnt a superteam and he is not the best climber.

So, he has quite well the overall, but he will face long attacks from lot of riders and he will give a great level to keep the leader.

Landa will have Verona as a great help.

 

[Velolover2]

The race is already on with 3 hard climbs still remaining. Schachmann AND Konrad in trouble.

Their best climber, Buchmann, looks fine.

 

[WKA311]

Astana is already destroying the peloton.

 

[Salvarani]

Oh its already brutal!!!

Even before Izua

 

[sir fly]

Good to see there's enthusiasm far away from the finish line, but Mas is doing a favour to someone else with this attack.

Schachmann not winning this bike race
