Re: Re:

Caleb Ewan FTW.

Trolling?

No, I tipped Joe Dombrowski for yesterday and Pozzovivo two days ago, so my bets are reasonable.

You know that it's not that fun anymore, right?

Ron for the win

Break within arms reach of the peloton. Blistering pace so far to this stage.

 

[MightyWheelSucker]

Dont know why noone mentioned Tom D. yet. Leaving everyone on the last short climb.

aw yeah

 

[jsem94]

Break got some room again but I can't see them getting many minutes today anyway.

 

[Orbit501]

Break starting to extend it's gap again.

So are Canondale going to put everyone on the front again seeing as they've missed the break, again?

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

The break should be fairly cooked by now. Cannondale, DD, Astana, Sky, UAE, etc. could probably control this stage with one man each until the first climb.

 

[spalco]

This is pretty fascinating. They just won't let the break go, and already 80k done. Really tough 5 man TT for the guys in front.

 

[classicomano]

So Cannondale closed it to 11 seconds, stopped, now chasing again when it got to 30?

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Cannondale is the most tactically inept team in the peloton and that says a lot with LottoNL also present.

 

[jsem94]

Only 65km left to the first climb anyway, break won't have more than 2-3 minutes going into the climb and won't have a ghost of a chance of survivng.

 

[Orbit501]

Steppers putting a few blockers in and a Bora rider there too. Fascinating stuff. Love watching breaks trying to form. We should get early coverage more often.

 

[spalco]

Maybe it's a message from the Cannondale DS to all the other teams: "You let us into the break or we'll make it a shitty day for everybody!". :lol:

 

[sir fly]

Crazy chase.

 

[Orbit501]

This is great fun!

It's all over the place.

 

[Eagle]

Great racing

 

[Valv.Piti]

Lol this is insane...

 

[Netserk]

I thought this could only happen in short stages?! :O

 

[Eyeballs Out]

20 man break imminent with no Cannondale riders

 

[klintE]

52,8 km/h on average after 100km

 

[Carols]

This is great racing for over an hour now! Everyone will be tired before they hit the climbs with no real break if they keep this up. But it is fun to watch!

 

[spalco]

lol, the peloton is nearly going single-line now.

 

[sir fly]

I know what's the deal...
They want to start the rest day as early as possible.
