12 seconds, it was 15s. It's probably the most important moment of the race.

No idea who's pulling behind?

Together probably? But no

10seconds, they are closing the gap tho. If they close it Seixas should probably start controlling for Decomble...

 

[SafeBet]

So frustrating this is not live. Seems like great racing.

 

[Samamba]

Btw, for a lot op people Ramirez will be the surprise, but I kinda expected him. Max Bock is more surprising to me.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

It‘s coming back together.

 

[Samamba]

Jep back together. Wonder what France is going to do now. At this point Decomble can win the whole thing (even tho he can still lose a lot on the MTT ofc)

 

[Samamba]

Torres gone again. He's not looking bad this time at least.

France has a decision to make. Do they sacrifice Decomble or Seixas...

EDIT: nvm Decomble is finally cracking a bit. Ramirez attacks too.

No decision needed since Decomble is apparently struggling.
Torres on a mission today!

 

[Samamba]

Attack after attack and we can't see anything.... great

 

[Brullnux]

It's very exciting and very unusual to have five/six riders so evenly matched in a race. Makes a good change!

I wonder why Torres was off yesterday. Maybe he just prefers super short stages?

He did well in a number of long (by U23 standard) stages last year so I don't think that's the reason.

They still have to decide if they would have Seixas ride for Decomble if he drops. To keep the gap at a minimum. They won't though.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Which of these guys is worldly enough to stay calm and not respond with all these attacks going off at the front

 

[Samamba]

It's just not steep enough to make an attack stick given they are all almost the same level.

Decomble still only 18 seconds behind apparently.

EDIT: he was back for a minute even...

Just keep the pace very high. What time do you think they need at the finish line if they still want a chance at victory after the ITT? 30-40s?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Decomble is back now and they over the pass.
Edit: 15 seconds back again

No idea, I think you can make up a lot actually. He's also 10s behind on the top, if they work together now he'll lose enough. But they are cutting it close. Tbf he is better than I think everyone thought he was gonna be. A yellow jersey does something to a guy.

If he comes back in the descent they have a problem tho.

 

[Samamba]

Unless someone gets away and other look at eachother Widar is just going to Purito destroy them all again in the last km.

And there's no reason for Torres, Bock or Seixas to work. So he is probably going to get back.

 

[SafeBet]

Decomble is back!

 

[Berniece]

Seixas should just work for Decomble now. Secure that yellow jersey, and try to go for a stage win yourself during the ITT.
