Re: Re:

Schachmann not winning this bike race

still in there though

The real tests are still to come and he was already struggling. Does not bode well for the rest of the stage.

He's woken up now, hasn't he?

Mühlberger getting a nice little free ride here

I don't see how Muhlberger is helping his leader by following someone who is 7 minutes down on GC (when he himself is 24 minutes down).

Maybe Schachmann said he doesnt feel good anyway and letting Muhlberger and Konrad race for their own ambitions. They also have Buchmann.

Mas stretching his legs again.

 

[Scarponi]

He is gone

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Schachmann doing a Major Tom?

 

[Scarponi]

This climb would have been epic as the finale again

 

[Lequack]

The 2019 Schachmann is hanging on.

 

[Scarponi]

Only 16 in peloton with Schachman
Just off the back and two more riders a few meters behind

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

lol, he's just constantly at 10 meters but not dropping.

 

[Scarponi]

Re:

Not quite the Froome yo-yo, creating his own style

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

He seems quite relaxed actually.

 

[Scarponi]

Izagirre!

 

[Scarponi]

Didn’t lose any time with that attack

 

[Red Rick]

I don't understand how cyclists can suffer the pains of being a pro cyclist and yet be such cowards.

Never attack unless you can half ass it.

 

[Pricey_sky]

What an absolute waste of that climb. Everyone scared of potentially losing 5th on GC.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Ha ha, would be superb if Schachmann takes the intermediate as well.

The best of Ronnie O'Sullivan on the Eurosport player! Now i have to get a subscription!
Actually, if it would let me skip BS clips like this,i might consider it. But then Eurosport should change their tactics. "Get a subscription, and skip our annoying and completely useless intermezzo!"

Best Itzulia stage in years. WTF is going on... attacks everywhere, 15 men group. Total carnage

You lot have been spoiled if you complain. Normally you would see a bigger group going to the foot of that final climb

Race leader who really needs to get his arse wrecked gets dropped on first uphill meter of hardest climb, and they let him get back cause they all afraid of pain in legs.

Pretty much every stage race of last two years has been won by riders who would
Lose 10 minutes back in 2014

Bora is playing Astana like a fiddle so far.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Top 3 virtually all Bora. Curious what the situation will be in 16k
