[Potomac]

there are more uniformed security types along the roadside than there are fans

 

[Mayomaniac]

Sweet home Albania, as we used to joke in highschool....

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Seems like nobody wants the bonus seconds.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ridden all day and kept it close just for the break to win the Rasenball KM

 

[Potomac]

Peloton clearly wants the Red Bull bonus seconds

or maybe not

 

[Red Rick]

Pretty sure Dutch ES commentators are literally just reading @Devil's Elbow's OP on this stage to fill the time.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

No...
and what's in the cakes you eat?

Banana, cocoa, strawberry jam and peanut butter. You gatto (that was typo, but it is an Italian race) be all fueled up for a GT.

 

[SafeBet]

Red Bull so cheap they can't even draw a line on the road?

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Pretty good crowds considering Albania is not exactly known to be the Mecca of cycling

 

[Didinho]

Didn’t see any line on the Redbull sprint.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Good work, Tarozzi...

They're not going to San Marino, so that'll have to wait for the women's Giro.

 

[Potomac]

What sport was in that structure?

 

[Sciatic]

Interesting soccer stadium with a built-in hotel?

 

[Potomac]

I figured it out...

[Tim Cahill]

Bernal P5, jersey looks a bit like Saunier Duval from the helicopter

 

[Sciatic]

Looks like Pedersen and Wout are ready to duel

 

[Tim Cahill]

Climb will be super fast, someone can get caught out if they are out of position at the start.

 

[Red Rick]

Kooij riding as if that multi million contract is already signed

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Magnier dropperd?

 

[MartinGT]

Maginer gone

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Kooij riding as if that multi million contract is already signed

Is he supposed to work for Van Aert here or praying for a miracle? Not that easy, this stage

 

[Netserk]

Scaroni ready for the GPM points.
