Itzulia Basque Country 2021, Spain, April 5 - April 10

Lol. I know you are obsessed with young riders who are yet ti break through but that doesn't necessarily apply to everyone and I sure as hell follow the sport without knowing the exact bodily proportions of two freaking DSM riders who have never shown their faces at the front of a televised race.

I didn't know you got paid by Eurosport to comment races.

Where's RhD? There are two Hugh Carthys in the second group says PCS.

I don't really use the PCS live-tickers. And especially not when I'm watching live.

Tolhoek should go and ride for Roglic here surely. Keep it within the 20 seconds anyway at least.

 

[Escarabajo]

Higuita stage win

I get confused by that ugly shirt!

 

[Bushman]

Movistar with not even a single rider in the group to help Valverde... wow.
Jumbo are gambling quite a bit by letting this group go. Doesnt seem to be the smartest solution

 

[Velolover2]

Hopefully Vinegaard isn't pulling on the flats.

Putting McNulty into the leader's jersey is not a smart move.

 

[RedheadDane]

Hopefully Vinegaard isn't pulling on the flats.

I don't think I've seen him pull at all!

 

[ice&fire]

what is Hugh Carthy riding for?

He's providing content for Horner's analysis

 

[Salvarani]

Anyone can win this race right now.

Last stage anything can happen really. A few might be contempt with letting a few seconds away here and will go all out on the last day.

 

[SafeBet]

Jumbo is playing with fire here.

I didn't know you got paid by Eurosport to comment races.

What does that have to do with anything? Throughout the race, Van Wilder has just been a black smudge at the back of the picture, quite difficult to see or get much impression of. Of course he would be the more obvious pick if you were to guess at a DSM rider in the group but come on!

 

[Velolover2]

I don't think I've seen him pull at all!

He should just mark McNulty. They seem to have a leutnant beef going on.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Today has been tactically... interesting.

And then Mas attacks instead of riding for Valverde...

 

[JosefK]

Poker game. Or . . . a game of chicken.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Latour has made it back after a descent, says it all really.

 

[titan31]

Roglic going to lose the overall race at this stage. He'll be over 30 behind McNulty now

 

[BlueRoads]

Either German commentators or me being clueless. Mas/ Valverde, Vansevenant/Knox - we got different opinions.

 

[Escarabajo]

Jumbo, Jumbo, Jumbo!!!!!

 

[Velolover2]

Peloton is getting larger.. and losing more time.

McNulty vs. Vinegaard GC battle?

 

[BlueRoads]

Roglic going to lose the overall race at this stage. He'll be over 30 behind McNulty now

Jumbo pushing UAE into the favourite's role before the Tour.

 

[JosefK]

Is McNulty going to pull a Talansky? (2014 Criterium du Dauphine)

 

[Gigs_98]

This stage kinda reminds me of a post last year. It was about Jumbo and the point was basically, Jumbo suddenly got a group of riders together with the strength of competing with Ineos. But instead of using that strength properly they just bully the entire race, boasting with what do I know how many riders at the front of all groups, but the reality is they are still completley f*cking clueless and have no idea how to use that strength whatsoever. Vingegaard better wins that stage...

 

[Salvarani]

Peloton is getting larger.. and losing more time.

McNulty vs. Vinegaard GC battle?

Hard to tell.

If either have a bad day on the last day it could be minutes.

 

[BlueRoads]

Either German commentators or me being clueless. Mas/ Valverde, Vansevenant/Knox - we got different opinions.

Okay looks like we have each one right.

 

[glassmoon]

Not sure if Rabofail or...
