Yeah, I think it was the descent.Those aren't echelons. Just splits in the bunch and Polti hammering it.
Uijtdebroecks is in 3rd part.
On the other hand, GC teams should use this.Visma-LAB should hope the front group gets caught soon so the peloton slows down.
That was a descent, not crosswinds, there‘s no wind.Now Brian Holm is saying that there can't be crosswind racing in Italy because there are never long enough straights.
Can't the guy just open his eyes for once and see the echelons?
Sorry for spamming about him, it's going to be a long Giro...
If front group gets caught, it'll slow down massively thoughThey're showing an interview but if thats the gap between 2nd and 3rd groups then they've had it

Are you sure? It certainly looked like it for a little while. Pogi even sprinted past some riders to get to the cover on the right hand side.That was a descent, not crosswinds, there‘s no wind.
There's a bit of wind as judged by the flags, but it's not much. I think the splits were purely down to the hill and its descent.Now Brian Holm is saying that there can't be crosswind racing in Italy because there are never long enough straights.

Fair enough. Sorry Brian.There's a bit of wind as judged by the flags, but it's not much. I think the splits were purely down to the hill and its descent.
I think the splits happened in the descent but immediately after the descent there was a little bit of crosswind I think which made it hard to close the gaps.Are you sure? It certainly looked like it for a little while. Pogi even sprinted past some riders to get to the cover on the right hand side.
