He could take the stage alright but won't take yellow.

 

[IndianCyclist]

Stage win most likely unless thomas cracks

 

[woodburn]

Alpe!!!

Still a sucker for this climb above all others after watching CBS coverage in the 80s.

No one chased alien at giro. Here he has organized 4 Skybots chasing him

*scratchy head emoji*

Aye, I forgot Dumo sat up and had a smoke with his feet up

Re: Re:

Kruiswijk may just hope that the shrunken peloton runs into the back of a motorbike on Alpe d'Huez.

More like Dutch corner barricades the road :lol:

What would actually be the ruling if someone "accidentally" forgot to set the parking brake on his motor home and it rolled on the road?

 

[ruamruam]

Go on kruijswijk. You deserve it

I would much rather climb than ride solo into a headwind. Yuk.

 

[ontheroad]

Here come's Kwiatowski now to the front to push 500w.

 

[MartinGT]

I watched on the Alpe last time they went up it. Magnificent experience.

Headwinds are definitely more demoralizing.

 

[Finn84]

18-19 seconds per kilometre is the advantage.

Waiting for Froome to give Thomas the look.

Jesus. I've never seen people get dropped in the first 7 metres. How fast is kwiatkowski going?

 

[spalco]

So, combativite for Rolland today, right?

 

[ontheroad]

Kwiatowski dropping them like flies again within 500m of the climb starting.

Not fast enough for Geraint to be out of breath.

 

[woodburn]

Kruijswijk doesn't look super. Much more out of saddle on the steeper part of climb.

Bernal time.

 

[Pantani Attacks]

Kruijswijk is doomed imo

 

[Singer01]

Roglic looks good.

 

[rick james]

Bernal on the front

 

[Finn84]

Kwia stops with over 12 to go
