I think the Peloton is slower in the downhills than the Break, as its riskier then in the small bunch in These conditions. And in the uphill sequences you Need a strong Team to Chase and well Jayco is it clearly Not.
But as Im writing this, Attack from jayco and UAE (?) is following?

Is Morgado really thinking he can close a gap of 1:50 by himself? He Must feel very good and confident

 

[Cycling111]

Jayco has launched Morgado.

Break might win this, as expected. I'am amazed how DS's of teams that don't have a favorite here still don't realize that the break always has a big chance in this race, definitely in bad weather.

 

[Netserk]

cant bridge 1'40" before the hills are over

 

[Tim Cahill]

Break looks to be making it very far if that gap is real, Steinhauser going on a long winter training ride like his uncle jan when he used to rock up 10kg overweight.

 

[SafeBet]

Gap to Morgado is around 1'10" at the little tunnel (handclocked).

 

[Samamba]

No one is bridging that gap solo with that big of headwind. Unlesss the gap isn't actually that big

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Jan Christen probably could.

 

[Faserr]

Steinhauser is really fast on this slight downhills

 

[RedheadDane]

At least I guess wildfires won't be a problem...

Did Holter put on the correct jersey?

 

[Squire]

Is that Hirschi who has joined Morgado?

 

[Netserk]

zorro passed and dropped by hirschi, i think

 

[Squire]

No, it's Alvarez! Again being a beast!

 

[Samamba]

Only 20s?

That gap went down fast

EDIT: not even 20s wow

 

[tobydawq]

The front trio descend like three old ladies.

 

[Netserk]

No, it's Alvarez! Again being a beast!

yep

only 13"

 

[SafeBet]

Wow Hector Alvarez.

 

[Samamba]

No way the rest is at 2min then, probably some riders in between

 

[Cycling111]

LIDL was very strong last year, but it looks like this year will be even stronger. None of their leading riders have made their debuts yet, except for Milan.
I am expectant.

 

[Netserk]

good timing

 

[Rou]

Grande Alvarez!

 

[tobydawq]

Two minutes to the bunch? Did they descend like 50 old ladies?

 

[Potomac]

dammit, steinhauser had been looking strong.
