Not sure why Quickstep don't get more hate around here, they're as irritatingly ever-present as Sky, but just in a different way.

Yates crash!

Poels suddenly in much better form

He’s the same in week 3 of every grand tour.

You don’t say

So no reason to be surprised or expect different then?

 

[bob.a.feet]

Alaphilippe passed him before Yates even got back on :surprised:

 

[spalco]

Alaphillipe is just so *** impressive this year.

 

[Eclipse]

No chance for Yates now

At least they don’t have Brailsford and the marginal gain retorics. Also nobody is surprised that Gilbert Or Alaphilippe are competitive: they were born champions

Yates down, hard to take. Alaphilipe was putting him under pressure which caused the mistake.

why was Katusha chasing down Fuglsang?

They are always in breaks, making the race- as opposed to suffocating the opposition in procession, which for someone who doesn’t really have a favorite rider to pull for this year, makes a much more entertaining race.

Nobody minds a team being ever present. They tend to hate teams strangling the suspense out of a race. The two are not the same.

They're so omnipresent that they never ever compete for GC in GT's..

 

[Pricey_sky]

Brilliant descending by Alaphilippe, he’d have probably caught Yates anyway.

 

[ontheroad]

Alaphilipe is a master bike handler.

The "wolfpack" stuff is really *** annoying too though.

They were not, both Fuglsang and Zakarin attacked

What a disappointing stage for the GC.

Born champions, you say. Where have I heard this before...
