Re: Re:

Agreed, this is fun race (despite the jersey-snafu).
And Hansen is just sneaking around.

Just looked at the start list, I actually think we have more riders in the race than any other nation, outside of the host nation.

I may have miscalculated, but that's what I arrived at, at a glance.

When has that ever happened before in a would tour race?

According to PCS we're tied with Italy.

Trek are working hard on the front. Guess LRP wants to kick some *** today.

 

[Poursuivant]

Pogacar to be in yellow after this.

 

[Lequack]

Finally someone attacks, Schachmann is the man.

Re:

There's 2 km till the climb starts, don't think it's wise.

 

[WKA311]

Schachmann getting into the climb with a little advantage and setting up Grosschartner.

I keep expecting Asgreen to drop off, but he continues being on TJs wheel.

He will probably explode when they reach the steepest part in 4 K though

 

[RedheadDane]

How the *** does Asgreen keep hiding from me? He's huge, and wearing the green jersey!

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Well he's got a buffer now instead of just being dropped by the better climbers. Can't see what else he should do if he wants a serious shot at the win

Yeah, I do think Gregaard is out best bet though, he's been protected all day - now is the time to step up.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Bora should change the team name to "Sagan who?"

Ah, thought you replied to the redheads comment on Asgreen...... who looks cooked.

 

[Lequack]

Schachmann to win this stage. TJVG to get the same time after going into the bushes.

 

[Rollthedice]

Bora energizer bunny is unstoppable.

 

[Aristarchus]

Why is Asgreen pulling?

 

[Rollthedice]

Asgreen is leading the chase.

 

[RedheadDane]

What? I thought Asgreen was about to be dropped!

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Asgreen.... pffffft

TJ gone

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Re:

Probably defensive, just make it hard enough for people not to attack, but not so hard that he blows..... he controls the tempo this way.

 

[Aristarchus]

TJVG is done. So I guess Asgreen pulling makes a lot more sense, with that

 

[Rollthedice]

Drama, Teejay dropped like the proverbial stone.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Asgreen destroys TJ

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Nevermind

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Asgreen done now
