Van Aert about to crack open a can of coke

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

1 Wout = over 9000 Watts

1 Wout = 1024 Watts

 

[perico]

Bernal gonna drop out of Top 10

 

[VayaVayaVaya]

Silly to use Bernal and Quintana dropping as evidence that WVA is unbelievable unless you also want to use some of the remaining risers who haven’t dropped as counter evidence. I don’t think this is any crazier than previous pulls from Wout in the Tour and Dauphiné. But Bernal, who has been barely hanging on this season, has finally snapped.

 

[Zoophonic]

Jisma doing exactly what Sky used to do. Relentless.

 

[Ripper]

Van Aert, not sure I've ever seen anything like this, even peak Classics Thomas in the E3 season.

Well, tbh this is a lot less surprising than Froome ever was, so you likely have seen things like this

 

[Rollthedice]

This is indeed a special Postal/Sky.

Next level. Brailsford must be shocked.

 

[titan31]

Rolland, who was in the break all day, is still with Bernal. That shows how bad Bernal is atm

 

[Carols]

Bernal and Nairo dropped with 35 guys still there....it's them who have the problems. Nairo crashed and Bernal just never had it this race.
Rigo to podium???? That would be awesome .

 

[Saint Unix]

Everybody talking about WVA dropping Bernal. What about the other 30 riders that are ahead of him too? Bernal is cooked that's why he's dropped

Yeah, it's pretty obvious that Bernal is completely in the dumps today. Wout van Aert is incredible, but not any more than he has been on other mountain stages this year. Bernal either messed up his prep completely or he's carrying some sort of illness, or both. A shadow of what he was last year.

 

[Chris Gadsden]

Wow, this is really a disappointment for the race.

Because there‘s still 12 guys in the front? All of those guys better than Quintana and Bernal?

 

[Simurgh]

Van Aert finished

 

[ppanther92]

Maybe they are going for a WvA sprint win. What ishis gap for the green jersey?

When has Van Aert done anything like this before so late in a stage?

This is just a usual Sky performance. I dont think anything Froome did was massively more surprising

Also people are acting like its never happened before but Kwiatkowski has displayed similar versatility although he's probably lighter.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

WVA gone
Pog time?

 

[Amazinmets87]

I think we may see a Roubaix '96 or Fleche '94 esque finale here. 3 or 4 JV riders rolling over solo.

 

[Savant12]

Setting Roglic up for his 500m sprint win.

 

[perico]

Martinez cracked.

 

[Red Rick]

Valverde almost thinking about attacking

 

[Rollthedice]

On Bennett's pace there's a chance for an attack.

 

[RedheadDane]

Okay, Van Aert does have an off button.

 

[Brullnux]

Caruso having a hell of a tour

Underrated rider and great teammate. Always fantastic for Nibali

 

[perico]

I forgot all about Bennett being there
