Why is Formolo not helping Soler

 

[RedheadDane]

Bobbi Traksel on Dutch Eurosport on the meantime just invented a new rider in the front group. Please welcome Joenas Vinjebo.

Vinjebo's been busy helping his team win the overall over in the (French) Ardennes.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Rogla still in for plan B or a stage win.

You still expect UAE riders to help each other when Pogacar isn't there?

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Why is Formolo not helping Soler

UAE isnt a team unless Pogi is in the race.

Why is Formolo not helping Soler

He is empty, he needs to recover and then he will help...

 

[Bonimenier]

Remco could really use Masnada right now.

I think it's fine. Soler doesn't stand much of a chance anyway, and Formolo can now go for the mtn jersey on this climb

edit: but doesn't go for it

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Why is Formolo not helping Soler

They're in the wrong groups. They would need to call Soler back for Formolo for maximum entertainment.

 

[SafeBet]

Could get very interesting if the two groups merge in the false flat before Arrate.

Why isn't Soler helping himself?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Yea, but Samu is Asturianu.

Now, if he actually genuinely opened a descending masterclass in Euskadi to teach these escaladores how to climb, that would genuinely be the greatest thing he could do to give back to the region that supported him for most of his career.

Izagirre used to do CX in his youth, which is likely why he is better than most of his compatriots.

You don't have to tell me he isn't Basque by blood
But I believe he did manage to teach his teammate a thing or two, Igor Antón just wasn't his best student.

 

[Netserk]

Without Mas, I think it's between Martinez and Vingegaard for the GC.

 

[huangho]

GPS trolling us...

 

[Velolover2]

Martinez and Remco chasing downhill.. It's not gonna end well. ;O

 

[Bonimenier]

Very weird that Formolo didn't take the 3 points and polka dots btw

 

[Red Rick]

Evenepoel groep having moto in front, lead group in the back.

 

[Netserk]

Moto helping Evenepoel.

 

[glassmoon]

either remco or gps is trolling

 

[huangho]

Masrtinez having a masterclass from Remco for descending...

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Very weird that Formolo didn't take the 3 points and polka dots btw

In the midst of all the bad tactical decisions this week not even trying to win a sprint that would guarantee him the jersey has to take the cake.

 

[Vesica]

Moto behind the front group and in front of the second group. Again too much moto influence.

 

[Eclipse]

Great work from ReMotoNez

 

[Salvarani]

Very weird that Formolo didn't take the 3 points and polka dots btw

Yeah... I guess they must not have known how close it was. They are gonna regret that after the stage.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Beautiful race.
