Re: Re:

Why the hell is Ineos not riding?

G not feeling sfrong maybe.

I think he will get dropped on those last 3km on this penultimate climb, it is very very steep.

Why the hell is nobody putting pressure on Ineos early?

Viviani, good effort

But he is nowhere to be seen???

Quintana riding himself back into contention atm! Will it last, if FDJ and Jumbo don't take up the reins?

Want to get safe to the rest day and regroup?

Still have (at start of day) two in top four. Two in top three if you believe JA won’t stay the distance.

You can just imagine SDB saying ‘Kerrison back engineered his numbers and we just knew he was going to blow’.

I'm SO impressed with Viviani!

Do not trust it, when they had the power, they were riding regardless the opposition ... . This is not their style.

Movistar and Quintana truly are masters of deception. They could be shambolic or masterful, weak or strong. Who knows? I don't think even they know to be honest.

Is this some kind of a meme or something? Because he is not in the peloton atm.

Why wait when Rowe can isolate Alaphilippe on his own.

The way he has been working for the team all day, till he got dropped. - Just needed to be said.

 

[Fergoose]

I'd have liked to see L Jumbo forcing the pace on the first climb to toughen up the race. I think that would suit Steven more than his rivals, but it is early days.

Re: Re:

In German Eurosport leclerq Just mentioned one rider having a PhD in philosophy who also wrote a play which is currently on stage in france. Does anybody know who he was talking about?

Philosophical drama by Guillaume Martin

There is even a video clip of the play
https://vimeo.com/343444194
Apparently a masters degree in philosophy, not a doctorate
That's cool that there are any intellectuals at all in the peloton
Jacques Anquetil was kind of that way, a philosopher, although not an academic

Thank you. Yep, Born 1993, would be incredible to have your doctorate while being a professional sportsman that age. Love it nonetheless!

So they are content with Asgreen leading them over Port de Lers?

 

[Simurgh]

Seems as though the weather forecast predicting 30-40% chance of rain has been realized; it is raining on the descent!!

What you mean? It seems that people are confusing him with the other rider from the same team.

 

[Wvv]

Viviani is having an amazing day.

No, he is literally at the front of the peloton.

 

[spalco]

If Viviani loses a couple kilos, could he challenge for the Tour next year? Is that the reason he's switching teams, wanting a chance to ride for himself?
