romeo saving adam

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pinarello is completely on the rack

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

Pinarello wasn't astute. He could have agreed with Romeo that he wouldn't contest the stage in exchange for some help in the overall standings.

 

[Rob5091]

Time for some TT practice.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Had Romeo kept his cool during the ITT debacle he could have been leading GC at the end of today....

Had Romeo kept his cool during the ITT debacle he could have been leading GC at the end of today....

Quite often he acts and rides like a mini Remco..

 

[Netserk]

22 seconds between 2nd and 3rd group

 

[Netserk]

i guess neither uae nor visma ride in the peloton ?

The climb on the last day is too hard for Romeo.

"Mini"?

Remco is 1.71

He might have had abad day Tuesday, now he's having agood day.

He made himself have a bad day. It could have been a meh day had he not more or less given up on the TT.

Edit: but I agree that size wise he's more of a macro-Remco then.

 

[Heston]

Group 4 is now ahead of group 3 according to the GPS

 

[RedheadDane]

Those times...

Group 4 listed as being closer than group 3...

pinarello losing steam

 

[search]

Pinarello needs sth like 7s on Nordhagen and 20s on Reis to take the jersey, I think

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

RoboRomeo killing them here. Yates and Nordhagen were seemingly more interested at looking at each other.

Only shame is that my man Reis is out of the picture now, SAD!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pinarello is in prime position to get absolutely Valverde-d by Balderstone.

[Dazed and Confused]

Very nice win by Romeo and a day where the riders overdelivered.....

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

What is Bennett doing launching Yates and Nordhagen?

 

[Netserk]

thanks to romeos attack , no worry for gc

but ahates attack on the climb only got him trouble

 

[cafe_rider]

The climb on the last day is too hard for Romeo.

Tomorrow is the harder climb? 5.1km at 9.4% Nordhagen and Yates will duke it out there

 

[RedheadDane]

What is Bennett doing launching Yates and Nordhagen?

I wouldn't call beating them for 4th "launching" them...
