Where is @Devil's Elbow ? I was expecting this race to be the race of the year.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Baudin and Izagirre cresting the summit in the second group in the road... this was supposed to be the race where Seixas learned where he stood compared to the best of the non-aliens, but it turns out that none of them are even standing right now.

Skjelmose showing Juan who will be carrying bottles in July.

To be fair, Ayuso had another crash in training just after he'd recovered from his P-N crash.

This probably isn't the best Del Toro we've ever seen. The dynamic of this race is quite similar to Catalunya, one guy a cut above the rest and then a group of guys at the same level. This doesn't mean we're looking at Pogi levels of performance yet...

It's my bold prediction. Del Toro never showed an alien performance in his life. This kid is an alien already.

Pogacar is crazy good. Seixas will be happy to reach his level in some races next year. Better than Pogi? Let's first try Vingegaard.

This kid is also a beautiful descender!

Apparently Landa has crashed

 

[RedheadDane]

Landa...

 

[Heston]

Landa again...

 

[Samamba]

Landa crash...

Why are you taking risks man

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Oh no

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Roglic not making his case as leader of RB very well

 

[Red Rick]

but it turns out that none of them are even standing right now.

oof.

 

[nightowl]

NOOOOO

Every time for Landa he just can’t catch a break

 

[topcat]

Landa badly hurt

 

[Rou]

Roglic not making his case as leader of RB very well

Well, he's clearly improving slowly. I wouldn't write him off yet.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

That didn't look good.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Fwiw I would be all for Seixas teaching ASO to learn to love GC-relevant descents again.

Fwiw I also should have timed this post better.

 

[AmRacer]

Remco fighting for a top 5 at the Tour.

 

[dercuforever]

So, Sexias will ride defensively rest of the week

No he'll go for every stages.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

He should ride Roubaix.

 

[pelotonIQ]

I have seen enough, send him to the Tour (or Giro)

 

[fenns]

[Netserk]

[Ilmaestro99]
