Love the Martinez picture.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

You go to the final corner first always in that situation if you want to win. Well played Martinez

 

[Faserr]

Random sprint wins.

 

[Red Rick]

Honestly Evenepoel started his leadout too early here.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Didn't know Jonas' last name was actually Rasmussen

The Chicken would've done something cool today

Yeah, he always excelled at one-week races...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Martinez only 11 seconds down with the bonifications, would be hilarious if Roglic loses this race due to an inability to pick up bonus seconds every time Jumbo refuse to attack.

 

[Valv.Piti]

If Evenepoel doesnt completely loses it and start leading out with 1,5 k to go Alaf easily wins.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

GC

 

[RedheadDane]

Chapeau Lafay, excellent effort but you're not going to be the victor today

He's definitely the Victor of the race after Langellotti dropped out!

 

[Eclipse]

Does Martinez get boni's?

Would put him 3rd if so?

 

[tobydawq]

Remco doing a great job leading out other teams

So when Alaphilippe is an inch short of victory, Evenepoel gets ridiculed? Come on...

 

[Valv.Piti]

Yeah, he always excelled at one-week races...

Rasmussen was usually busy preparing... meticulously for July......

 

[Samamba]

Did Evenepoel celebrate at the back or did I see that wrong?

Insane pull from the little man again tho.

EDIT: nvm, looks like he was just trying to watch

 

[Eclipse]

Looking at the overhead I'm pretty surprised how little Ulissi had - he seemed in perfect position there. Maybe the climb took a bit more out of him.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Remco doing a great job leading out other teams

That one was all on Alaphilippe. Perfect position, then failed to realise the importance of the final bend.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

If Evenepoel doesnt completely loses it and start leading out with 1,5 k to go Alaf easily wins.

I would imagine Ala tells him when to go.

 

[Red Rick]

Martinez only 11 seconds down with the bonifications, would be hilarious if Roglic loses this race due to an inability to pick up bonus seconds every time Jumbo refuse to attack.

Tomorrow the final 600m are 10% which requires an even greater effort to get his ass boxed in.

 

[Bonimenier]

If Evenepoel doesnt completely loses it and start leading out with 1,5 k to go Alaf easily wins.

Imagine blaming the guy leading out almost perfectly for 3 days straight and not the guy bottling it 2 days in a row.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

So Remco destroyed another breakaway guy in the last km. He had better hire security guards.

So when Alaphilippe is an inch short of victory, Evenepoel gets ridiculed? Come on...

Didn't he do the same yesterday? Not ridiculing, Ala seems to have lost a bit of his sprinting speed, he would have walked these stages in the past.

 

[RedheadDane]

Rasmussen was usually busy preparing... meticulously for July......

In Mexico Italy.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

So Remco destroyed another breakaway guy in the last km. He had better hire security guards.

He was doomed with or without Remco.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Imagine blaming the guy leading out almost perfectly for 3 days straight and not the guy bottling it 2 days in a row.

Not blaming anyone, I just call it as I see it. Amazing effort, but poorly paced today IMO - don't you agree? Alaphilippe should definitely have won yesterday, yes.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

He was doomed with or without Remco.

Yeah, UAE was killing it anyway but still...they will remember him
