Re:

Heavy images at the 'finish'.

Bjorg could've won there, it was tailormade for him.

Very emotional and well done to everyone for that lovely tribute.

 

[RedheadDane]

That was somehow more touching than simply having the Lotto riders finish side-by-side.
A stage cut short, like a life cut short.

First!!

Edit: Actually second

Edit 2.0: Ooh, I do have infinitely more likes than all other posters

Edit 3.0: Probably, this was the wrong thread to do this in. My shenanigans kinda look in poor taste when reading the last posts before this (who have not been removed). Of course no disrespect to Bjorg was intended.

Mezgec again really impressive today

 

[Alexandre B.]

I’m happy to see Latour doing well after his impressive spell of injuries.

Definitely, he's been really bad all year. Let's see if he can string together a good 3 weeks and then maybe a tilt at the Italian fall classics. He's a very interesting and rare rider, french-wise, with his nice TT to go along climbing skills.

Maybe a dark horse for La Vuelta?

Pacal Ackermann distanced off the back 20km into the stage. When the camera back stay for too long he smiled and said "We are finished"

 

[Lequack]

Stage looks pretty brutal, some crazy gradients.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

some crazy moto-pacing too:

 

[Lequack]

I love these twisty roads and small villages. Really great racing so far for the first 40 km.

 

[klintE]

Astana pulling in second peloton, Sky in first.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Break at 40s

 

[Lequack]

Says 2:45 now.

 

[Lequack]

There is a budget Didi the Devil in Poland as well.

 

[klintE]

Jumbo with hard, misterious push, 50 to go.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

boh! catching the break early again,

...
but actually quite nice to now have a small lead group with 40k to go.

 

[Arked]

A lot of attacks are happening right now.

 

[KZD]

Swift is looking great. He might win not just the stage but also the overall.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Ineos attacking Swift

 

[Arked]

There might be such plan in Ineos. Swift was collecting awfully lot of time bonuses yesterday.

 

[JosephK]

Ineos looks like they are in great shape to take today's stage. Sivakov getting a free ride in the chase group.

 

[ciranda]

Sivakov favorite I guess but Vingegaard is not slow.

 

[Finn84]

Vingegaard wins ahead of Sivakov and Hindley.

 

[Carols]

Jumbo Good Job!
