So many ads on Peacock. Anyone else in USA getting this?

That's what Schachman was hoping too. But that whole pack is just waiting for Pogacar to launch and then they will start riding for crumbs

Well, to stay well positioning at la Redoute is not a bad idea and maybe is better...as UAE is going to do the the same whoever attackes

Unless you attack with enough strong riders. UAE was already weakened

NordVPN and Sporza, heard it from a friend.

i dont even mind that redoute is a chokepoint , the problem is the degree and how brief the race is

and this approach with fight for position on a high speed descent after a plateau

Why didn't he 50 men break just ride faster?

Only 4-5 guys were really riding in that break, and same number riding in the peloton but full-full.

About 6-7K before we watch another Pog solo.

It'll be different this time, I swear!!!

 

[Tim Cahill]

UAE got swamped on the descent, might get a minute of action rather than 15 seconds this time

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Madness in the peleton before Redoute. Time for the finale!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Bahrain doing a sensational job for nobody!!!

 

[Berniece]

Lol Evenepoel, was perfectly positioned and now 4 riders back. Already breaking

 

[Tim Cahill]

Remco out of position

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

Evenepoel already too far to react.

I just don't know what is best to do about it. There are certainly other climbs they could put in the run-in that give us more options, but that just backloads the race further and means more of this kind of waiting scenario, especially if those climbs are hard enough that they wait for those, it'll become like the worst days of the 2010s again.

But with this run toward it, Maquisard and Desnier are just not tough enough to be viable attacking opportunities so it's just a waiting game from Spa through to Redoute. There are so many climbs here, but a lot of the steeper ones are closer to Liège and as long as La Redoute is a focal point in the race they're likely to be dealing with this awkward run-up to it that leads us to this single decisive point role.

 

[KoopaCycling]

Remco already done

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

Oh Remco.

 

[ChasingPotatoes]

All our hopes on Seixas or I'll go for a walk.

 

[No Excuses]

Cosne drilling them out of the stratosphere

 

[Tim Cahill]

Too fat

 

[Salvarani]

Remco dropped

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Remco gone....

 

[Lorzenz08]

Remco is just not the guy

 

[Brullnux]

Evenepoel's climbing LOL
