Re: Re:

Dumoulin whining at Schachmann, what was that about

Think it was more at the rest of the group

Weird to complain about whatever it was, when you didn't take a single pull (which was obviously the gamble he had to take if he wanted to win).

Mohoric is a beast, second GC in a week

 

[Flamin]

Nice three classics type stages we've had. Great to have this race back.

Re:

And 2nd time without being the strongest. I mean, he was dropped multiple times again.

It takes a special quality to win then, without a team, when you are continiously dropped uphill

I'd say he was the strongest. He had difficulties uphill, but he did the work himself. Schachmann and Dumoulin weren't good enough to keep the gap.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Barguil and Bardet good uphill and dreadful on the flat section.

Seems about right.

 

[Lequack]

Oh god they made Mohoric sing the national anthem. I don't think I'll be able to live this down.

Schachmann was the only one riding against the second group. Dumoulin and Co. were just waiting for Mohoric and Politt.

Yep true.

And Mohoric got a lot of help from Roompot and Politt

Pollit’s first pro win

Re:

And Katusha is desperate for wins, this is only their fifth win of the season, that is if you count Tony Martin's National CHampionships ITT.

National Championships (RR and ITT) count.

And at Quick Step this is a normal week.

So, stage 2; Mohoric misses out on the victory - behind Schachmann - wins the next day.
Stage 3; Politt misses out on the victory - behind Mohoric, obviously - wins the next day.
Too bad it wasn't Ackermann who won stage 2.
