I did a 127 km granfondo on Sunday, I expect to get a call-up for the Tour.

Give Visma a ring - they need riders!

Oof, that‘s some tough competition for Masnada if you go to QuickStep

 

[Netserk]

I dont see how its possible for 2 to stay away after so long.

Tailwind, plus they can keep a steady high pace. They gain time whenever those behind are slowing down.

Ok you clearly have the base endurance to do those moder hipster Mickey mouse 105km tour de France stages. By the time we get to July Visma might need anyone they can get

 

[Salvarani]

This area is beautiful and the towns as well

 

[Eyeballs Out]

The 9 guys chasing need to start working together.

I would be making Narvaez do the bulk of the work

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Ooh nice leafy green street!

The whole stage has been rather nice. Lots of hills and greenery.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Instead of having a boring ex rider segment where they follow on a moto without giving insight, they should send someone on a moto to different local places on or around the route and give some cultural or geography insight.

I even crashed and got all bloody yet still finished the final 35 kilometers like a true gladiator. I'm not sure I rode up Kiddesvej quite as fast as Remco, though.

1:45!

Allez!!!

Wow, you really are going for the Visma team this July

I put that stuff in a bottle on a hot day.

 

[Didinho]

Allez Julian! What a perfect situation for a redemption victory.

He’s gonna end up 4th, isn’t he?

Maestri has been a great teammate for Alaphilippe

Not a bad position to be in I guess.

He has no teammate in the first chasing group, the team gets a lot of tv time, he gets to pick up lots of sprint and mountain points and the money that comes with it for the team.

And who knows, if Alaphilippe bonks he might just have a small chance for a huge win.

Alaphilippe will be relegated in the sprint à deux.

I put that stuff in a bottle on a hot day.

I'm not sure a nutritionist would recommend that.

 

[Gigs_98]

Man if the two actually make it...

 

[search]

or celebrate too early

This is absolutely no criticism of Maestri fwiw. They have different objectives and have worked really well together

 

[Samamba]

Hirt won't even gain any time.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Damn, Pozzovivo and Hirt are really going to be caught by Phil Bauhaus.

 

[AmRacer]

Hirt won't even gain any time.

Nope.

Blythe is such an idiot man please get rid of him. Hatch, Lloyd, McEwen, Kelly is fine, Blythe isn't even sure where he is

Just thinking the same ...he is usually gone at this point in the stage and its Sean and Robbie

Boy oh boy Blythe has his nose so far up Rob Hatch ass plus very disrespecting to Sean ...I dont think Kelly likes it

But most of all he is an idiot...he says nothing of use ...Anyone who never saw a bike race could do as well and maybe without the cheeky chappie awful rubbish

 

[saunaking]

please please please Julian pull it off!!!

 

[AmRacer]

G3 dropping back to the bunch.
