Both went to the front with the same goal...

Gaining bonus seconds?

A single point does not establish a line.

 

[Salvarani]

Gaining bonus seconds?

Pog being in the lead, gaining more seconds and still a factor on GC actually made more sense in that regard or if it had been points for the points jersey.

But it was most likely just for extra training and prep, as MVDP wants to do here. Same thing/goal as pointed out.

Pog becomes annoying as hell

Why? Pogi here, Pogi there, Pogi gets all attention. He is stealing shine from other riders, today he prevents the break from getting more time, riders from small teams from getting exposure they need.

I get that he is super good and GOAT of cycling, but no need to remind that to everybody even at sprint stages.

Also every race he enters he wins except from some classics and that makes races predictable and boring. So no, not everybody is fond of Pogi winning everything. I'm tired of this.

He was criticized for this. Where is the difference between Pogacar and MVP?
1: Both were just training
2: Isn't MVP also stealing attention from other riders?

 

[Brullnux]

Did they drop Milan?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Kooij's group back in the peloton.

 

[Netserk]

Cian dropped

And abandoned.

Why is Ineos riding so hard ? they could have ridden at a more relaxed pace and brought the break back for the intermediate sprint.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Magnier crashed

Because Ganna can also win the stage and he copes better with a hard pace on the climb than the sprinters.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Just a rider mistake by Magnier. Luckily nothing happened.

I really don't see it as a parallel, but thanks for answering.

Ganna is not going to win the stage. Ineos could have brought back the break in time for the intermediate sprint which is all he needs.

Why is Rivera pulling? Didn't they read this thread where it was cleverly suggested that they need him to finish between Ganna and Tiberi at the intermediate sprint?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Wtf Dylan Groenewegen is at this race apparently, every day is a learning experience.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The sprint is coming in about 5k. Could be complex stuff as several riders have diverse game plans.

 

[Netserk]

Milan very friendly with Ganna!

Morons.

But Milan was very friendly there.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Well, Ganna will have to pay up to Milan at some point.

 

[hayneplane]

Full on mates act from Milan there.

 

[Heston]

Milan with quite a leadout for Ganna there

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Training partners in Italian track team

 

[Netserk]

Ganna can pay him back in the last km.

 

[tobydawq]

The Milan/Ganna/Mads P team will be very hard to beat on Saturday.

 

[tobydawq]

Bahrain didn't play it ideally, either. Tiberi had to go from too far down because he had too many teammates to pass in the sprint.
