What's Kepplinger doing

Bad descender?

I think is going to be a fight among spanish riders. My country is not at his top, but It has good riders who can shine at this race. I ser strong at Carapaz with the help of Uran, (they were 1st and 2nd some yaears ago) but he already lost time.

Bad descender?

Preparation for Caruso's descent attack

 

[Samamba]

UCI needs to do something about soigneurs standing in the middle of the road. I've seen this so many times this year. In Catalunya there was a crash because of it for example.

It's a bit confusing also. The snow doesn't look very fresh so it must have been there for a bit, but there's also green grass underneath it, so there must have been a good period of no snow and decent temperatures already this spring. Anyway, beautiful views.

Here in Germany we had a record warm February and March, but for a good week now we‘ve had this cold weather. You can also see from the tree tops that at least some of the snow is very fresh.

Yeah, I noticed. But there's also some snow on the ground which has been there for a few days or a week or so. Makes for stunning views though, the lush green grass and the snow-sprinkled trees.

What's Kepplinger doing

Bad descender?

With his rowing and zwift background he probably isn't the best, but I still haven't seen him struggle because of it .
Maybe he just got too cold in the bunch

 

[Potomac]

My screen feed keeps freezing, is it just me?

 

[Didinho]

Curious what Nys can do here with a 3’ headstart. Trained more on his climbing than his explosiveness. Will be hard to stay in front but hope he goes for it and see where his limits are.

 

[Earns1985]

So still 3 minutes for five not so bad climbers in the breakaway.. Can they make it?

 

[Samamba]

Break has a chance here it seems, bit surprising.

 

[Tim Cahill]

You would think Yates/Ayuso would be big favourites, perhaps the issue with having 5 guys going for their own thing.

 

[Red Rick]

3 minutes on a 20 minute cat 2, break never loses this

Tomorrow is the decisive day. No point wasting energy today. There will be no big gaps

I mean for the stage.

There's plenty of reason for the guys who don't have the best TT to do something here. What's the point of doing this race if you don't use the only climb with some steep parts?

Yes, the gaps won't be big cause the climb isn't long enough, but just waiting for tomorrow is just not a good idea for most riders.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Look at Ethan Hayter there driving the gap down, didn't I tell all you guys he was class, what a rider!!!

 

[Landeirovic]

Winner in peloton

 

[Didinho]

3 minutes on a 20 minute cat 2, break never loses this

Looks better for the peloton now.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

I mean for the stage.

They are players of a higher calibre than to desperately go for such a stage.

Ayuso the biggest favourite tomorrow

 

[Netserk]

Twins will win.

 

[Samamba]

Ayuso the biggest favourite tomorrow

Yes ofcourse, but that's what I mean. Imo enough reason for others to try here (cause the other MTF isn't even steep). But looks like no one tries to make this hard.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Quickstep should of course be emptying the tank for 'Fausto' as a make-right for yesterdays #SwissScrewjob

 

[Samamba]

Yeah peloton making up time real fast

 

[Tim Cahill]

Vendrame and Nys showing impressive versatility
