degendt with 70s....

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Good terrain, excellent bike race today.

Excellent ride by De Gendt.
Congrats!

Really impressive win for De Gendt. Does he have any GC ambitions in this race?

 

[Orbit501]

Sir Thomas of Gendt in beast mode. Always a fine sight. Chapeau!

 

[sir fly]

Good show for the audience.

 

[TommyGun]

Really enjoyed the stage, compared to the Hammer chaos. At least the first rider to cross the line is sure to have won. Well done De Gendt!

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Great win for De Gendt. How many riders did the reduced peloton consist of?

 

[HelloDolly]

Cobrelli may have missed a trick here ...should not have let the gap grow and helped Dim Data

 

[Breh]

Thomas De Gendt and Thomas Degand both racing Dauphiné, nice.

Yes, he could have won the stage, a stage win and the leaders jersey would have been great for him and the team.

Not for 5 years so I'm guessing no.

 

[Jagartrott]

De Gendt, one of the most naturally talented riders. With an obsessive mind and hyper-professionalism, he could've been a GT GC contender I think. But perhaps better for him and for us he is who he is. Unpredictable, attacking, and on a good day an absolute beast.

 

[movingtarget]

De Gendt does what he does best. Very impressive.

 

[Robert5091]

Chapeau! Good for the team too ... is this a new rule, whoever gets into the breakaway wins?

Re:

Gerrans in the wind.

But will it make him more popular ?

 

[Brullnux]

I think Colbrelli will have a good tour. He might challenge Satan on one of the hillier stages.

 

[HelloDolly]

So Konig loses 8 minutes ....

:surprised:

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

De Gendt is like the ultimate breakaway specialist. A rider with GT top 3 capabilities that just goes for stages.

You'll easily overpower the weaker ones..

Satan? yeah maybe he might... I think you meant Sagan though, right? Unless you know something we don't know..

Autocorrect. I saw it but decided to keep it, has a nice ring, no?

You mean that red dude waving a trident on the side of the road?
Poor guy.

That is not true and you know it.
