For my fellow danes: where can we watch? I can't find anything on tvtid.

It's on 6'eren.

This and SB in the spring might be my favorite races, also PR of course.

 

[gregrowlerson]

I don't particularly care about this race.

I'm just looking forward to topcat's monster peak.

 

[Salvarani]

Peloton not slowing down.

Commentators said Tim Wellens als going to UAE? It seems everyone is going to UAE.

Hitting the coffee now. It is happening!!

I recommend later taking an energy drink from your team car, but make sure the pick up process is a little slow.

It's what Vincenzo would have wanted.

Best support rider in the world for like five years.

Capable breakaway.
Should be able to stay ahead pretty far.

Adieu Vincenzo, adieu Alejandro.

One I liked from the start because of a brilliant style, the other grew on me due to class and professionalism. Both very respectable, both icons of the last 20 years.

Thank you guys.

Sean Kelly has forgotten Froome won all 3 GTs or forgotten he's still active and I'm here for it.

Time to use both extremes of the doping argument to say he never really won the Vuelta

 

[noob]

The scenery!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

It must be so depressing to start a one-day race and get dropped over 180k out.

Did you hear when he corrected himself, saying that he had forgotten that Froome had been awarded the Vuelta win in retrospect?
