3 minutes with 30km to go.
Might be difficult to bring them back.
Didn't realise Cherie Pridham was DS at Lotto now Used to see her quite a lot when she was boss of the Raleigh team here in Derby. Can't be too many female DS's at this level?
Not really sure why Ineos are controlling this, they aren't winning a sprint in this field surely?
Feels like there isn't a single team with a clear plan how they want to win this one.
Ineos is riding for Hayter I believe.
what is Leo Hayter going to do here lol, they are probably going to sprint with Heiduk.
Lotto must be wishing they'd let De Lie race this as well as tomorrow's race now. Would have been a near-guaranteed win.
Ok... I dont know. Was just throwing it out there.

probably cause noone expected that it was going to be a 100 man bunch going in to the last km. Briefings were done before the race got ruined.
Uphill sprint is better for De Lie than anyone else though.Well basically every team that has their sprinter racing tmrw and not today... But couldn't know they were going to skip the HC climb. Normally there's like 20 guys left here.
There's about 40 riders in the front group now, right?probably cause noone expected that it was going to be a 100 man bunch going in to the last km. Briefings were done before the race got ruined.
