I cannot watch

9 seconds

 

[Fantastico]

Vingegaard slowing down everyone, riding on the hoods!

Yeah, it's understandable that Masnada is faster. But they already lost about 15-20 seconds to Pogacar who does not seem to take too high risks.

 

[johnymax]

Vingegaard is probably spent, but he also isn't a great descender.

 

[Netserk]

The moto will help with the last bit of the gap.

 

[Red Rick]

Imagine if Alaphilippe and that entire group had just been sitting on Masnada right now

 

[Volderke]

Pog is waiting?

 

[limak_]

Masnada seems to take every corner wrong, but he is closing the gap slowly. It's the Masnada way

Not necessairly. He's taking the outside lines and he's keeping a higher speed thanks to that. Just look how much more Pogi's braking.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Letting young Jonas lead on the descent, they must have given up

 

[BlueRoads]

Vingegaard I think is the worst descender in that group, but he's the one who has to work

 

[jaylew]

Imagine if Alaphilippe and that entire group had just been sitting on Masnada right now

This is what I've been thinking since he first went. This could have been a great finale.

 

[Red Rick]

Honestly I'm not sure how Masnada can beat Pogacar here even if he catches on

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Imagine if Alaphilippe and that entire group had just been sitting on Masnada right now

Wouldn't fancy trying to follow Masnada's lines on the descent.

 

[Volderke]

Vingegaard taking the descent slow, so he is rested to do a TT and bring the group 30 seconds closer on the flat…

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Pog is waiting?

makes sense
no use blowing himself up or taking unnecessary risks knowing he is faster and more punchy for what comes.

 

[Orbit501]

No Rob, it hasn't been a 'slow burner'.

It's been dull.

 

[jaylew]

Wouldn't fancy trying to follow Masnada's lines on the descent.

Ironically, the guy who might have had the most problems following along with Woods is the guy who has to chase.

 

[saganftw]

if masnada gets to pogacar on flat part, pogacar should just attack immediately

 

[Red Rick]

Pogacar has barely descended faster than Vingegaard

 

[Andy262]

Sensational descent Masnada

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Confirmed: Masnada is the new Samu!

 

[Volderke]

You gotta love the dedication of masnada to close that gap!

where is llmaestro?

 

[luckyboy]

Masnada please just sit on his wheel now

 

[F_Cance]

masnada actually with a disgusting ride today. WTF

 

[Rollthedice]

Masnada's race was just fantastic all day.
