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

Thomas crashed, to nobody's surprise

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?

Too hot. Race of attrition.

Break got 20 minutes, van Avermaet and Tratnik brought them back, Valverde dropped but got back on the slowest descent ever and now it's all prepared for Teddy and Roglic vs. Wout and Evenepoel.

Because they're obviously idiots

 

[Ripper]

Looks like it is winding up a bit

Apparently Tratnik is now like a one man team Sky, no one even dares to attack out of fear

You should find it here: https://www.eurosportplayer.com/olympics/on-now

Thanks, but that only points to ES1 and 2 (for me anyway)
But I have now found it via the "All Olympic Sports" tab at the top.

And, I am wrong

TdF 2020 stage 18 celebration?

Hard to see anything else happening atm

 

[Ripper]

Polanc is toast

 

[gregrowlerson]

Richie looks good. And he took it pretty easy during the Tour.

I just read the Spanish team had to go in quarantine because a masseur tested positive. That might be an explanation.

 

[Red Rick]

Polanc only there to make people think Pogi crashed

At least Libertine Seguros can move on from his hatred of Kuss now.

 

[42x16ss]

Roglic and Pogacar are so confident Polanco flicked himself into the barriers

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.

I have that, it's just that the page I land on (even from Netserk's link) doesn't signpost it

Thomas Tank
into the shunting shed

 

[Pantani_lives]

Well, Tratnik deserved his selection.

 

[Andy262]

Someone? Anyone?

Yeah, but that was, like, 6 days ago. I'm sure he's off his top form now after all those criteriums etc

 

[SHAD0W93]

Valverde will win this bike race on the descent!

 

[spalco]

I want to know what tratnik ate for breakfast today.

 

[bambino]

Italy tactics getting into play.

 

[Rollthedice]

Missing the excitement of Milano SanRemo already.

 

[Netserk]

Ciccone goes Ciccone. And Caruso is the proper attacker.
