Scaroni told Moniquet to *** off?

Bora still riding? why?

Stage win.

 

[Red Rick]

Bora still riding? why?

Wet descent i.e. positioning

 

[Boehmand]

Small enough gap that the good descenders can go on the decent - which is more or less 25K long.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Double about to get 10 minutes on GC when RB Bora soft pace the entire stage. It's like watching JTL in his prime.

 

[Netserk]

Perfect development for Geesus to take pink tomorrow!

 

[pastronef]

Stage win.

the pancartazo is coming and I hate it a lot

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Are you for real?

I left the screen!

Did he try to attack? - He was at the back from the start?

He attacked/tried to close the gap to Vine. But it was only a short spell of fun as he was brought back quickly. I was as surprised as you are, because he was at the back the last time I saw him.

Call it stomp and you may enjoy one of the most perfect things that cycling has to offer.

absolutely. If I were a Roglic fan I'd have enjoyed these years a lot.

Why is bora not giving this group 3 minutes?

 

[Tim Cahill]

You're meant to let the gap grow out lads, if 3 UAE guys try and jump next climb then they deserve everything they get.

stage win

 

[Samamba]

We'll see soon if they actually want the stage. Could also just go up minutes once they are at the bottom.

Why is bora not giving this group 3 minutes?

They had a *** classics season, I wager they want wins.
But who knows could also just be controlling stuff for the moment.

Would make sense to try to win it though, if the team isn't to hurt from yesterday, but they look okay so far.

 

[Netserk]

Why is bora not giving this group 3 minutes?

Easier to pull back again if you only slowly give them some leash.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ineos didn't try at all, hopefully this means they have faith in Bernal's form.

 

[Brullnux]

We'll see soon if they actually want the stage. Could also just go up minutes once they are at the bottom.

It's harder to say on a descent, especially a semi wet one early in a stage, as I don't think the break is taking that many more risks than the peloton.

 

[Potomac]

Why is bora not giving this group 3 minutes?

It is a long descent.
How does a gap grow quickly in that situation?

 

[Potomac]

With the 6" red Bull bonus at the bottom of the final climb and the 10" bonus at the finish, I think Bora would want to go take them all today.
