DSM today

Imagine if after Sella they went Karrerpass, Obereggen/Lavaze or Passo Pampeago and then Manghen before Broncon.
Still, at least this stage is being raced properly hard.

Finally we get some Ben Swift pace, just what we were missing.

Back in 2019 Ghebreig was dropping his teammate O'Connor on the Kitzbüheler Horn, the guy can climb. Went too early on that stage, otherwise he could have beaten Vlasov, and finished 3rd.

Have Pog and UAE hypnotized the Peloton to do foolish things?

Is this Giau?

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Steinhauser seems to have diamonds in his legs today but is wasting them a bit Alaphilippe style.

 

[Samamba]

Better to just let the break sail away and get a top 12 on the stage?

No but they could've tried to jump with everyone but Bardet (who doesn't seem to get the freedom) at some point in this stage.

Anyways I don't mind this weird attack, made the stage a bit more interesting. Maybe DSM just wanted to make the race harder which would suit Bardet in the end.

Majka pissed. Why are you making Pogi win again today.

 

[Squire]

Hirt, finally!

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Alaphilippe trying to launch Hirt but fails. Why in this moment and not on the next climb, who knows?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Been treated to some classic tactics the past few days

 

[Scarponi]

That river is beautiful

 

[dgodave]

Oh no not the fake italian accent again.

 

[Samamba]

Someone should ask Martinez is he would've liked Buchmann here or not

 

[dgodave]

If I was a clothing designer Id try to invent some sort of rain jacket thing that just rolls up and down your body without having to extract yourself from it awkwardly.

 

[Netserk]

Bardet!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Bardet!

Leemreize!

 

[dgodave]

A couple oxymoronish phrases I hear on commentary all the time:
"now-then"
"back to the front"

I'm kinda impressed by Voigt's absolutely perfect pronunciation of Ghebreigzabhier, while he otherwise keeps talking about the Magglio Ciclamina and the Passo Brokorn

Majka is a dork

True. But in fairness, the pronunciation of the name is pretty easy when your German me thinks.

Btw: is the GPS drunk again, didn't it say to minutes to pink just a few minutes ago.

"Pelletong", "ümmä"....some more Voigt classics

Super Marco frigo always trying to breakaway!
