Seixas waiting for Sivakov

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

Is Pog waiting?

 

[Berniece]

Is Pog waiting?

No, Ayuso is just better in descending

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

No, Ayuso is just better in descending

I think Pog is 'actively' waiting, as in: saving just a bit, while not allowing them to reel him in quickly so he has more punch on the climb. so he will take more time on the climb to try and break them a bit more.

 

[RedheadDane]

So happy I didn't pay to watch this.

Why would you pay specifically to watch this?
Apart from just whatever you're already paying for access to MAX/ES/Whatever?

 

[tobydawq]

Scaroni not contributing, what a bum.

 

[Tim Cahill]

QS today was worse than UAE.

Quickstep were bad yes, though my French irritation is a holdover from the worlds too rather than anything UAE-based, Voeckler had him throwing in attacks at 250k to go, they haven't yet realised who their best rider is.

 

[Berniece]

Scaroni not contributing, what a bum.

I think him and Seixas are just cooked

 

[KoopaCycling]

Remco please don't pay any attention to those in your group, and just focus on tt'ing after pogacar.

 

[Salvarani]

They could still catch him

 

[moljoh]

well well well, Remco not changing his bike just yet

 

[Tim Cahill]

I do think Evenepoel should softpedal at least one of these climbs to keep it together rather than just try and drop everyone straight away.

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Come on Remco. Visualize AGR. Visualize the ITT cruising past him. Reel him in. Make it a race.

 

[kingjr]

28 seconds

 

[Berniece]

28 seconds, only lost 5s on this hill. Let’s see how much they can gain back by the foot of the climb again

 

[glowder]

How can I watch this now in the USA? I can’t find it in Flo.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Grande Remco

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Why is this commentator bending over backwards to convince us she loves Pogacar? "I do not dislike Pogacar in the least," "He's a wonderful human being." Etc. She must really hate Pogacar.

 

[Red Rick]

Flat section has slightly more headwind than tailwind in it. The chase should start now.

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

Well we all want a race and we have 56K to go.
We had it once in Amstel, can we have it again?

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

How can I watch this now in the USA? I can’t find it in Flo.

HBO Max

And she ended that rant with a sly dig as well.

 

[kingjr]

Another 3 seconds lost on that small kicker

 

[Netserk]

They are fools if they pull with Evenepoel and then get dropped later.
