Evenepoel wants to save energy until the MTF and TT stages

Let's hope if he doesn't attack himself, that others will try to attack him, so that this doesn't turn into a snorefest like Dauphiné.

However, he has a bit of Contador in him. Only knows 1 thing, attack

Belgian Zubeldia.

The route of this race is crazy (in a great way, of course). I don't think I have ever seen anything quite like it.

How so?

 

[Skalman]

It sure looks like arguably the toughest route of a stage race this season at least

 

[Velolover2]

Time trial is still too short. Should be 30-40 km if you want a Remco victory.

He is gonna lose 1-2 minutes to Martinez and Vlasov on both Mooslap and Malbun.

I seriously doubt that. I am not even sure one of those 3 will be the better climber.

Nice stage today. Must be one of the best medium mountain stages I've seen in TdS in recent history.

I like the overall feel of improvement compared to those of 15 to 4-5 years ago in many ways. I mean I doubt Spilak, the real one, would have a chance with this route and field.

What about the Belgian version?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

What about the Belgian version?

Spilak wouldn't win the Tour of Belgium either.

 

[RedheadDane]

Spilak wouldn't win the Tour of Belgium either.

I meant the Belgian Spilak, and I think you knew that.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Nice stage today. Must be one of the best medium mountain stages I've seen in TdS in recent history.

And then there's an even better one on Thursday.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I meant the Belgian Spilak, and I think you knew that.

He won't either, cause he's riding in Switzerland.

Evenepoel does have a chance of winning TdS though.

 

[Big Doopie]

So what team works to pull the break back…?

 

[Bonimenier]

So what team works to pull the break back…?

It's Bora leading the peloton

 

[Big Doopie]

Bora apparently.

 

[Velolover2]

Remco above Martinez and Vlasov on a 13 km climb of almost 9%?

I'll change my photo to your choice of Remco if that happens.

YOU!

Why would he have less of a chance on this route compared to the one he won on?

He won the stage and the race on this climb:

 

[tobydawq]

How so?

Yeah, a real mystery...

Have you seen the profiles of the first five stages? Everything can happen.

 

[Bonimenier]

Surprising to see Jay Vine in the break.

 

[Netserk]

Have you seen the profiles of the first five stages? Everything can happen.

Everything can happen on stages 2-4?! Stage 5 is excellent, but at the worst possible place.

Do those five stages make this race crazy? Have you really never seen anything like it? Never before in Tirreno, Itzulia or previous Suisse editions?
