Van Dijke responds. Do they really think that Benoot will be the fastest on the final climb? They should let other teams react.

Awfully weak attack. Imagine Uno-X with no top 10 after that. Johanessen certainly doesn't look good...

Benoot could very well podium now.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Benoot is the best from last year who‘s still in the group.

 

[Winnen]

Benoot could very well podium now.

Don't get me wrong. I would love for him to win. But I think there are a few riders that looked stronger today.

 

[Didinho]

No UAE guy left?

 

[Danskebjerge]

I doubt he would have been in front now if he hadn't attacked early though.

He looked really strong (even before his attack), and his form was on the rise.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Dr Death still there for Israel.
Looks like it will be an unphill sprint of the dying swans.
Big ring Formolo FTW!
Nah, Cosnefroy or Buitrago are my pick, but Gregoire could also surprise.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

What happened to Pidcock?

Yes, last one was Ulissi but he dropped off at 50k to go

 

[Red Rick]

This weather and still 40 dudes on the Mur

Average Giro or Vuelta uphill sprint has a better field...

He was superb in Amstel. If he ever gonna show who daddy is in Fleche its now

 

[QueenStagiaire]

What happened to Pidcock?

He realised he was supposed to be overrated.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Just tuned- whatabout the self-proclaimed winner Matthias Kessler? Don't see him in front pack?

Edit: M. Scheldemose ofc.!(sry 56 hours since last sleep - the other guy I've not seen in a loong time in this field.)

 

[tobydawq]

Williams will for sure win. He seems absolutely effortless.

San Luca is the holy grail anyway

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

What happened to Pidcock?

Same as Teuns, Skjelmose, Hirschi... the weather happened.

I mean, without so many favourites I can actually see why many teams fancy there chances in an uphill sprint.

 

[ppanther92]

What happened to Pidcock?

Dropped

 

[Mayomaniac]

San Luca is a proper short, steep climb, not an uphill sprint garage ramp.

The bad weather stopped being bad.

 

[Didinho]

Laurence will win. Because off Canyon.

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Pieter Serry it's your time to shine!

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

The bad weather stopped being bad.

So... bad, bad weather.
