How do we have 26 pages of discussion from a prologue? Thankfully the route is awful so the forum will slow down a bit hopefully and we can all keep up

We already discussed 11 pages worth of content before the race actually started

It's the new "junior style" full gas posting!

I don't understand the hype about this race, because Daniel felipe Martinez, the king of alto de foia is not even this race, the worst nightmare of Remco.

 

[Froome]

This is how it is when Skjelmose and Vingegaard participate in a race.

Danish coalition.

I have my hopes Remo try to go solo at the small climb at 12 Km form the finish to try to get the bonus of the sprint at about 8 Km to the line...

The rain is not going to stop acording the radar...that will make the race more selective (the last part is no very hard in general), but more risky and thecnic for Remco, wich make have my doubts about him....
But the last Km has slope and people of GC could go for the stage...

Balkans can't hold a candle to the passionate Danes!

 

[Danskebjerge]

This event should be called Tour de Rain.

 

[Taxus4a]

Thay have just anunced that sprint will be 300 meters before for security reasons...there is a roundabout..so I thinbk that is the reason...so, closer to the little climb now

 

[topcat]

Cobo has been dropped. Rog might go for the stage. Risky with the GC already in the bag.

 

[Rob5091]

Could be tricky at the last 2 km going right onto a narrower road then left , right and then up to the finish. Everyone will want to be at the front onto that narrow road.

 

[Taxus4a]

This event should be called Tour de Rain.

It was sunny this morning and it is going to be sunny this week there...it is worse here, 200 hunderd km to the south, at Castilla, now

 

[Andre]

I'm curious to see how Lecerf does today

The break has just one m inute, thay are caugh before the intermediate sprint for sure.

Yeah, but there is no other European stage race that is so rainy.

 

[Berniece]

I'm curious to see how Lecerf does today

Doubt he can do his own thing

 

[johnymax]

Yeah, but there is no other European stage race that is so rainy.

Il Giro

 

[Froome]

Yeah, but there is no other European stage race that is so rainy.

O Gran Camiño.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Yeah, but there is no other European stage race that is so rainy.

Pretty sure Romandie can challenge that.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

This event should be called Tour de Rain.

I think it should be called tour of the basque country, because it is a tour of the basque country

 

[Danskebjerge]

Vingegaard keeping a safe distance to Roglic in order to not hit the wet tarmac?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I think it should be called tour of the basque country, because it is a tour of the basque country

By using the other kind of logic, we'd have races like E300th time Naesen gets dropped on Tiegemberg, and Giro di Remco crash.

 

[Danskebjerge]

O Gran Camiño.

Okay, I'll agree to that. Same region more or less.

Santiago de Compostela is so wet. Between 100 and 242 mm rain per month except in the three summer months. Must be awful to be a bike rider there.

 

[Landeirovic]

Ayuso 3 seconds del toro 1 second i think

 

[Salvarani]

Remco got passed Del Toro?

Not necessarily, I mean, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedalo
