Brutal climb. They look knackered already.

Thought Belguim would have sent Wellens up at this stage

Went bang a while ago.

An incredible course. Winner will be well worthy.

Thomas not working.

Re:

There's a lot more people on the road than at a bunch of the other events I've seen today.

Roadside is free, other venues charge to see.

Totally agree. This is a proper Olympic course. This race is not disappointing!

Am I the only one who thinks Thomas doesn't look overly good?

Did a lot of work bringing Froome back.
Oddly he didn't get the car ride that Froome did

Funny, I was thinking the exact opposite!! Who can tell though really?

No.

 

[woodburn]

Henao joins. Sky trail at front.

 

[deValtos]

Wait was that only halfway? Thought that was the top ha!

Sky tactics baby. Will probably win by 5 mins.

Re:

Small teams plus great course = great race.

And no race radios . No fluff in this race = great race
Nice.

Last man standing wins

Hey, they changed cycling for the worst, know they gotta live with it ...

 

[BalearicBeats]

Greg sure likes to attack, I didn't expect him to do it so early though but tht might be the best tactic for Belgium. Pauwels can follow in the peloton in the meantime.

Re:

Two Sky riders are on the attack.

 

[Gigs_98]

Maybe Italy should have attacked with someone else, like Aru. They have an excuse for not working now, but that means that their best domestique is useless and if the winner comes from the break I doubt Caruso has a good chance against the other riders there.

That climb is a fuckload bigger than I thought from the profile.
