[Escarabajo]

It sounds like the problem is with Jumbo and Roglic and not with him!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Padun DNFed.

 

[Carols]

No commentary on GCN is USA? I'm only get background noise on laptop

 

[HelloDolly]

NO comms in UK either

 

[MrTea1976]

No comms on UK Eurosport either.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Higuita dropping? Well that has been quite a turnaround after Catalunya.
Edit: Eurosport Germany seems fine, I've got commentary.

 

[saunaking]

Padun DNFed.

not feeling well after eating carlos betancur

 

[armchairclimber]

Padun abandons ambush plans.

 

[tobydawq]

Isn't that called tactics?

Yes.

 

[Carols]

Ineos driving. Thomas pulling so hard? Who else has those ugly glasses!

 

[Escarabajo]

Why is Higuita dropping? certainly it cannot be form unless he is either sick or being told to save energy to work for the designated leaders.

 

[Escarabajo]

What a spectacular view !

 

[Faserr]

Perhaps he was sick after the last race.

 

[Eclipse]

Must be something wrong with Higuita, it's not like Ineos are really pushing the pace.

it has English as 2nd option (and working) as well, so it's not like they didn't turn up for work.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Really hope someone tries something next time on Opellora/Ozeka. Ineos have really soft paced this, barely putting time into the break at all.

 

[JosefK]

Gap moving out toward 3 minutes.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Christian Rodriguez has really turned his career around since he's no longer riding for that clown Scinto.
Not as much as Dani Martinez, but still. I remember when Scinto complained about Rodriguez and Martinez not being able to enter the breakaway on intermediate Giro stages with a flat start.

 

[Red Rick]

The *** is the peloton doing

 

[Samamba]

Do they realize Rodriguez can climb? Wtf are they doing.

 

[Red Rick]

The entire peloton under the spell of Sepp Kuss

 

[Faserr]

Rodriguez could really win the whole race if they keep sleeping.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Peleton is going so slow they're basically forming a perfect cube. At least it looks great aesthetically!

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The *** is up with the peloton simply refusing to close down breakaways at this race? And we thought yesterday was bad...
