Vansevenant in front of Evenepoel is quite a sight, show me more of that.

 

[Volderke]

Guys.

Remember when I said Fuji would be madness?

Like in: 80-90 riders?

 

[topt]

Valverde gone

 

[meat puppet]

Valverde gone

 

[Salvarani]

Valverde not having his best day.

 

[Netserk]

The teams are TOO small, four isn't enough for big teams to race with any confidence. 6 seems good to me

Teams will be even smaller in Paris, when they have to sacrifice spots of the male peloton so the women have as many starters.

 

[Rollthedice]

What's with Bala?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Alejandro...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Yes, and a good pace. I think the Caruso card will be more offensive.

The Moscon card might be the most offensive, though

 

[Faserr]

Spain has some problems today.

 

[BlueRoads]

Are the Spanish sick?

 

[Pantani_lives]

It's the lack of experience.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Bye bye Grandad

 

[Rollthedice]

Age has caught up with Valverde on Fuji mountain.

 

[Red Rick]

Alejandro Valverde massive oof

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Ya, I'd say it must only be max 3 a team in Paris as the overall field is like 90 something. Bit stupid

 

[Red Rick]

You cannot tell me there's no sushi in those white handy bags.

 

[Volderke]

Valverde aiming for Paris 2024?

 

[42x16ss]

Cavagna, Arashiro, Valverde out. Good climbers starting to drop

 

[Netserk]

nvm,

 

[HelloDolly]

Spain maybe too tired after Tour

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

Anyone watching on BBC? Smith is in waffle mode and not sure how much more I can take.

 

[Pantani_lives]

Why didn't they bring Mas?

 

[Red Rick]

What's with Bala?

Massive reverse attack.
