They don't have live images at 13.10. They start the coverage by then which always starts with showing 20 minutes of the last stage or something etc.

This race it‘s only been like 5 minutes of other stuff.

 

[RedheadDane]

We got images!
Less than 50 Ks to go.

van baarle dropped all the climbers

 

[QueenStagiaire]

LOL, Dylan Van Baarle is pacing.

 

[Red Rick]

Ah yes the full gas pedal gel. By all means give everything one by one.

 

[Tim Cahill]

No need for them to be mowing this down, take their 3 stage wins and yellow and leave it for the others if they want it.

Edit: four

They already have four stage wins.

 

[Tim Cahill]

They already have four stage wins.

Even less reason then, forgot Laporte had two

 

[Red Rick]

Who's gonna close that final 1'20 and where because the peloton is certainly not gonna gain on Alaphilippe on the descents.

 

[Samamba]

Benoot helping his good friend Campenaerts by taking the points on the HC climb.

 

[Red Rick]

Vingegaard to bridge on penultimate climb then try to gift Benoot the stage and if anyone beats Benoot Vingo will just torch them himself.

 

[BR2]

I've accepted Vingegaard will win this before the stage started. But if Benoot wins it without doing one pedal stroke at the front I will
I know it's allowed, but it would be a big f you.

 

[Filippo_3467]

The dominance of Jumbo this year is just... unbeliveable. If Pogi and van de poel wouldn't have denied WvA the win in all the early monuments they would have an historic season even without Tour or Vuelta win.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Haig and Martinez maybe have incentive to attack before the last climb as the gap to the podium is too big if they wait, Castroviejo is closing in though so that could play a factor.

Chaves and Poole will fancy their chances of getting into the top 10 at the end and Hindley can probably take the 12 seconds he needs looking at his building form.

Martinez has been getting better downhill but attacking over the top would be the proper test of that. But then again Bernal seemed to be struggling already today and it seems pointless for Castro to be going for his own chances on a finish this steep. Are they setting this up for Rodriguez? Or is are they just throwing stuff out there?

 

[Lequack]

Given that it's not raining I expect Vinge to do a 7 W/kg effort today.

 

[Peyroteo94]

I need a live stream. Who can give me one?

It's under 8 minutes, normally the entire top 5 in GC will do 7 W/kg

You don't have GCN+?

Castroviejo just closed to gap to the front group.

 

[BR2]

I mean seriously, he does nothing and then goes to the front to take the mountain points as well... so he's doing that for his friend, but Jumbo in this race, how annoying can you be?

what are your views on Benoot taking teh KOM points

Lol Rodriguez read my post but not the mile markers on his top tube 😄

They had Bernal carrying bottles the past few days, Rodriguez crashed and has been suffering a bit but did look much better yesterday so certainly an option.

Jumbo trying to give Benoot a shot at the win?
