Ah Pidcock realizing it's probably better for him to make this harder...

Verstrynge on the attack now, but this is not really ideal terrain to get away

Better with Wellens pulling.

Better with Wellens pulling.

a bit, yes, but it still doesn't scream winning move to me. Fairly easy to control for the peloton

 

[Faserr]

Some helpers of the fast guys have to spent energy. Better for a open race after the last two climbs.

It could be interesting if a group jumps to them tho. It's just extra strong riders you have after later climbs.

At least some riders are doing something.

Congrats to "Blue Helmet"!

 

[Salvarani]

Wellens was very good in LBL and now back in great form here

 

[Tim Cahill]

Alpecin have unearthed a couple of half decent climbers apparently, I assume his friend Kevin De Bruyne is in the group behind!

 

[dgodave]

Baby elephant!

 

[Samamba]

Bilbao making the jump would be good for the 2 in front.

But not sure if he's even still in between cause this broadcast is absolutely horrible

Wellens dropping Verstrynge

Would be nice to get some images of the peleton on the climb

Burgweg was fun!

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Germans should be banned from broadcasting races, I have no idea what is going on

 

[Samamba]

One of the worst broadcasts of the season. Insane incompetence.

 

[search]

it's already improved significantly, though. Normally they used to show Kittel 15 minutes behind at this point of the race, or interview Tony Martin's mother.

 

[Samamba]

Now the question we always have here. Does the group work together or not.

If they just work together for 10km no one will come back, but it might be too big to go smoothly

2nd Lotto guy is Rota, I guess?

You know what would be fun? If they would use their second moto bike to show the peloton

They just showed very brief coverage of Voigt commentating the kids race. There was a crash early on, but apparently without consequences.

 

[Samamba]

Engelhart is interesting, he's pretty fast.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Relax guys, they had to show us Degenkolb crossing Mammolshain as part of the groupetto, gotta get the priorities right.

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

Pericas in the group. The guys from 2006 are machines: Seixas, Finn, AWP, Hector Alvarez, Pericas...
