The field has so little depth that it's always the same guys who have the legs to get into the breakaway.

UCI told them not to put anything in their pockets, so...

What are the odds Van Vleuten will still hold the record on Torri di Fraele at the end of the day?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

That would be awesome.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

If there is going to any drama with the race turned upside down then it will most likely be at a time when Eurosport have cut to the Vuelta for no apparent reason

Not sure if this has been asked but how much time can Almeida afford to lose in the hope of gaining it back from Kelderman (assuming he's gonna be the main threat) in the ITT? That's if Almeida can stay strong on Saturday.

De Gendt is vacuuming up all the points, any points, like his life depended on it... Do they pay any money like in the Tour?

I wouldn't be comfortable with anything more than 30-40 seconds if I was Almeida.

We are both part of the "online meeting at 2 pm" gang then

Same for me, I got a Meet with my colleague for the whole afternoon. And you're not watching? God this gonna be epic, then.

What is her record?

Fausto in 1953 on Stelvio:

Koblet-Coppi battle, Giro d'Italia 1953 - Cycling Passion

Hugo Koblet, "Pédaleur de charme", and Fausto Coppi, "Il Campionissimo", two post-war era giants. They were good friends, until the Giro d'Italia 1953

Fast pace from Sunweb early on.

 

[killswitch]
