Last man standing takes it.

........meanwhile, Matthews bridges to the break.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

At this point they should just stop testing for it...

The memory of Colbrelli's collapse will be too fresh for most teams to consider that...

it's also not only the riders. At this rate, staff of the teams and races will obviously be heavily affected as well, and if there's no one left to build up the fences or drive the bus, the race can't continue anyway

Just seen all the dns. Bit silly really. Unless someone actually has symptoms, I don't think they should be withdrawn on having a positive test.

didn't check everyone, but Yates, Pidcock, Hirschi and Berwick for example were all reported to have symptoms. Others may develop them tomorrow - or maybe not at all, sure. But where to cut the line then?

 

[yaco]

It's simple - Riders who test positive have to stop to protect their health - And the Tour should still continue.

I don't see how the Tour is supposed to go ahead half-normal.

 

[jp39]

I had proper fever for 4 days and could barely leave my bed with covid two weeks ago. the first symptoms started with exhaustion two days before i took a test. Even more impressive to have a good performance then (vlasov e.g.).

 

[saganftw]

they have to go to bubble before TdF,under these circumstances you just cannot have the normal race because it might turn into complete farce and a frenchman wins it

Due to attack masnada dion smith dropped in breakaway.

To me, if they have symptoms that are more than a headcold, grand. If they don't, they can continue to ride. Being positive on a test means nothing anymore

not sure that would make mich of a difference, as they are still infectious. No way UAE would line up an asymptomatic positive domestique next to Pogacar, even if they'd be allowed to.

Strong Masnada

 

[staubsauger]

Stefan Küng to win this bike race?

 

[Samamba]

Astana pulling, don't ask me why

 

[glassmoon]

Sagan dropped... lasted surprisingly long though

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Astana pulling, don't ask me why

Either Lutssenko has become very very ambitious or they forgot which nibali is on the startlist.

Might as well try given the state of the race

Lutsenko lost 6 minutes yesterday... Doubt is up for it after his crash.

Well then, its in the bag

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Anyways today is about seeing how strong is Masnada. Not sure that the break can make it to the finish given the 50k of flat between the two climbs.

here in the US, the overwhelming majority of the spread is indoor. More of a risk of getting it in the hotel than having a dom riding near you.

UCI should allow the teams to have the trailers that Sky used to use for their leaders. Keep the leaders isolated

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Lol, Fausto did a casual acceleration at the top of the pass to bridge to Simmons and easily passed the others.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Masnada looks strong. Good news for the team they will need at the Vuelta. Even if he comes up short today, he's doing better than we could have expected.

They must believe Vincenzo is in the race with these levels of voodoo
