Re:

NOS commentators now talking about how Valverde was struggling with the high temperatures at the AGR after freezing temperatures during his stay at altitude.

That sounds a bit weird, Valverde is known to love hot weather, but I guess it makes sense after 2 week in cold conditions or whatever.

Sounds a bit dubious. It wasn't that hot last weekend was it?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Crash, 2 Sky guys, one from Mitchelton, an Astana and a Katusha?

EDIT: Izagire, Dunbar

 

[Oliver]

Very windy today.

 

[Laplaz]

Nooo Pozzovivo down

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Crash Pozzovivo and Kreuziger! Over.

Also Adam Yates down.

 

[Scarponi]

Kreuzigers road rash looks bad

 

[Valv.Piti]

Ugh, ugly crash for Domenico, shades of 2015. Fortunately this seems a lot 'better'.

I think it will be a selective race

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Hahaha, lotto tactics. What a waste.

 

[Screecher]

This is way more selective than i thought.

 

[Laplaz]

Some big names in front

 

[Pantani_lives]

Strong, big group, with riders who won't catch too much wind in that group. Mas, Schachmann, Wellens, Poels, Ulissi, L L Sanchez, De Marchi...

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Gesink over and done

 

[Oliver]

Daniel Martin far behind @ mur.

Same procedure as every year, Dan.

Great, Pozzo skipped Trentino to ride this one...

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Bunch is more reduced than previous editions, i think?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

10k to go

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Mohoric caught Marczynski.

Bunch at 16s

Re:

Indeed, what a mess

 

[Valv.Piti]

I predict a pretty weird top-10. Theres no Martin, Yates or Woods (pretty sure).

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Caught... 6.5k to go
