Van Aert is such a failson.

 

[noob]

So pretty!!!

Says a lot about Kirby that he's having a whine about not getting free stuff on a Giro stage 11 years ago.

Is Wout still ill?

Is Wout still ill?

If washed is an illness then yes I believe so

I guess it also says something about me that I instantly knew it was the Barolo story just from reading your post.

Not really great for the front 3. Gaps are so small they're still going full out but likelihood is they're caught by the peloton or caught by a larger group for the break who are all fresher.

I can't see a 3 man break winning today if they're let go

 

[Tim Cahill]

Problem is even if teammates bridge to the front they will be too tired to do anything the longer they hang out there.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Van Aert can't even win a battle to get in the break anymore, never mind anything major.

 

[Samamba]

Zambanini in it, he could win

He's obviously not 100%, but it's also 10 times harder for him, everyone rides on his wheel.

Mattia Cattaneo is the closest in the GC. Today's new pink jersey.

There's a steep bump coming up you can get away on

 

[Tim Cahill]

GET TO THE FRONT HAYTER YOU DUNCE

That‘s a tunnel

The 'steep bump' is very clearly the tunnel which PCS' elevation data source isn't accounting for.

 

[noob]

Having started watching cycling during the pandemic is so disorienting, just saying.

 

[Tim Cahill]

That‘s a tunnel

Maybe it's a steep tunnel eh

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Looks like everyone has realised the break won't go before the KOM.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Go on Wout attack again, nobody expects the 14th attempt

 

[Boehmand]

Bora is tired of all the unrest and trying to control the speed.

It's last chance to make the break.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Almost 50 km/h avg after 40km looks promising.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Bora is tired of all the unrest and trying to control the speed.

It's last chance to make the break.

It‘s not even first chance to make the break.

 

[Boehmand]

It‘s not even first chance to make the break.

That makes no sense

Edit: But if your point was the unrest isn't over, you were right.

Bora appears to not have the ability to shut it down... a UAE with Pogi or Visma with Vingegaard would have succeeded.

Fortunato is awake!
