Havik Yoeri (Netherlands) is dropped from peloton

Sad.

I was actually starting to get hope he might be in the mix.

 

[Red Rick]

We need attacks. If they won’t come now and pogacar is good enough to do a big solo attack on Mikuni (still very likely), it could easily become the most boring race of the year.

Tbh the other teams are just begging to get destroyed on Mikuni.

Several riders dropped long before Valverde are back on. Descent as if led out by Zakarin.

Evenepoel led the descent. Not much difference.

Had Tratnik been in the break, he'd have been on his way to olympic gold.

Big disappointment so far. And Eurosport is showing again Nibali's crash 11 km to go in Rio.

Imagine being those guards... just... standing there, with their backs to the race, starring at a fence!

 

[Pantani_lives]

Tzatziki seems to be the strongest man in the break.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

What the fck.

Where are people finding the non-ads Eurosport stream? I can only find links to the ES1 coverage.

Well, BlueRoads CHOSE to watch fencing earlier.

 

[Red Rick]

Looks like a block headwind out there?

Ya, I'm keeping an eye on the gap and while still highly unlikely, if one of our 5 leaders has magic legs...

... I may be eating my words

 

[Volderke]

There seem to be some inclines on the speedway.

If these clowns are just going to sit around and wait for Tratnik to blow up they deserve what's coming. I hope Pogacar and Roglic blow this to smithereens

 

[trevim]

The only way this race doesn’t suck is if João Almeida randomly gets a random medal

TdF 2020 stage 18 celebration?

 

[spalco]

Damn, i almost forgot this is today. Anything important happen yet?

 

[Pantani_lives]

Is the finish on this same track maybe?

EDIT: It clearly is.

 

[Arked]

Kwiatkowski on the front is suspicious. He supposed to be a leader of the Polish team here. Maybe Majka is feeling nuclear today

GCN app or Eurosport Player. Both need a subscription. I’d recommend GCN. It’s £40 but they do a half price offer at the start of each season.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Greece wins! well done chap.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Why is no one attacking? Do they not know that a 7 km @ 10% climb is coming up and the Tour champion is in the peloton?

 

[Netserk]

Damn, i almost forgot this is today. Anything important happen yet?

G and Hart crashed, Ciccone paced the upper slopes of Fuji, Traknik has kept everything under control.
