If you help Van Aert he wins anyway.

This is how breakaways work.

If you help you might get some medal.

If you don't help then you lose bronze anyway.

Bunch of assholes refuse to work. All looking at Wout.

How dare they ride for themselves lol

 

[titan31]

No one will help Wout so not sure he can catch them. Yates seems the only one even trying

 

[rehy90]

Wout is going to be totally empty if he gets them back by himself, he might lose the sprint to Pogacar or someone

 

[Salvarani]

They see them now

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

That's the most pain I've ever seen in Pogacars face haha.

 

[BigCoward]

I just hand timed it as 10 seconds.

 

[Red Rick]

I think they'll close this on the final hill

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Hats off the Wout. What a race by him. I don't usually cheer for specific riders in situations like this, but I kinda hope that he wins.

they are riding for the 3rd place, cowards.

I'd question their intelligence then though. Work with Wout and youve a chance of a medal even if it's silver when Wout beats you. Not work with him and you get beat by him for bronze.

Quite funny how great WVA is made out to be, only to be spoken about forever in the clinic.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Front pair have to work all the way to the line though, and how keen will they be to take the front full gas when they hit 1-2km to go.

 

[staubsauger]

I'm confused. Saeeid Safarzadeh isn't part of the front group anymore? Guess my tip won't go through then!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Carapaz attacks and he's gone

 

[Anybody_but..]

Yes!!

 

[wheresmybrakes]

GO Ecuador!!!!!

 

[Volderke]

Now or never for carapaz

 

[Salvarani]

Carapaz attacks!

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Uoooh, will this be a continuation of Carapaz famous Tour attacks?

 

[KZD]

Please catch this guy, someone help WVA back there.

 

[Rollthedice]

Carapaz for the glory.

 

[Red Rick]

Carapaz threw away his litter before the zone guys
