Sanne

 

[glassmoon]

damn... all favourites piled up

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Ugh, that was a lot of blood on the Pave in that shot...Kopecky looked like she went down pretty hard.

 

[Red Rick]

NOS being disturbingly excited about Vos coming back to the group of favorites.

 

[Lequack]

Why is the front group going so slow?

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Leading group looks like they may have a shot. That crash hurt a lot of people.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Balsamo really rocks the Italian Nat Jersey.

 

[dobrien]

Agreed; at this point just to get back to the leading group the chasers are going to have to ride their finales.. just not seeing it with only 32k to go unless the front group stop riding together.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

The only one working in the front group is the teammate of the first chaser, wtf

 

[Leinster]

Kaspar doesn’t seem to be in any hurry to ride a long way solo, but the way the front group are sitting up, she probably could bridge …

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Why is the front group going so slow?

Typical massive group syndrom, everyone suddenly starts thinking about saving a bit and no one really commits anymore. They definitely would've been caught but maybe the crash actually saved them.

Yeah, that crash completely changed the race, 100%.

I doubt they will make it at this slow pace, even the crashed group actually gained 30 seconds on them.
And now that the attacks have started they're doomed. It seems the favorites will still win in the end.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

They probably shouldn't have given the break six minutes, cause the time gained through the crash could decide the race.

But the break isn't making it easier for itself by attacking one another.

 

[postmanhat]

2nd group doesn't seems to be working very well together? Rapidly getting caught by the peleton. Someone like Georgi needs to go now to maximise her chances.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Please can someone tell UAE to use the number. You have a racewinner in consonni.

 

[postmanhat]

Looks like Mackaij has made it back into the peleton as well.

 

[Lequack]

This front group is really annoying.

 

[awavey]

go Pfeiffer !!!

 

[postmanhat]

This front group is really annoying.

A few of them are probably switching back into dom mode now?

 

[awavey]

that shows how close group 2 is getting.

 

[Lequack]

A few of them are probably switching back into dom mode now?

Probably why they were going so slow in the beginning.

 

[awavey]

come on ride the cobbles

 

[Volderke]

So is the front group willing to go for the win...?
And is the chasing group willing to go for the win...?

 

[dobrien]

come on ride the cobbles

This race is missing one more good stiff section of cobbles at about 9k to go.
