If the race blows up completely, the clueless TV director will do his best so we can't see what's going on

The other thing is it could be the Damiano Cunego 2009 Vuelta syndrome. Because he dropped so early yesterday and realised it absolutely wasn't worth fighting on for the GC, maybe he could have lost 10 minutes or so but as it was then irrelevant if he lost 10 or 30 minutes, just took it easy on the Peyresourde, got a massage / trip to the osteopath, and went off in a break because, had he been 10 mins back he might have been chased but at 25 minutes down people won't be fussed about him. Cunego had been in the GC mix for the 2009 Vuelta but felt bad in the Sierra Nevada stage, dropped on the Puerto de la Ragua and then just sat in with the autobus. He then went in the break the nexxt day (causing widespread panic briefly because he had been in the top 10 before the previous stage), and won the stage from the break before withdrawing to prepare for Mendrisio. The other thing is that Thibaut might have decided to target the GPM now if he's going to be restricted to breaks, so he'll try and won Hourcère and Soudet and then sit back.
Of course, you can always fight yourself back into the GC after losing 20 mins at the end of week 1, while winning the GPM and enlivening the race no end, there is a precedent...
What a guy...

Oh god not Pinot in the break.
Hopefully they have a different producer deciding the shots today, because we ain't going to be seeing much of the Peloton if not.

That's not at all what's being questioned or disputed here.So you don't like it, when people that have been knocked down, get back up?

Then why do you find it "pathetic", that a guy who suffered a big defeat yesterday, goes on the attack today?
Considering his time loss, he'd need to go on a Pereiro

Hm, good for him if he's doing better, but he didn't come here to win a stage from the break...

Those wannabe dictators just chased down their own guy in the break, so he's wasted all that energy for nothing and they've thrown away a potential valuable card later on.

Of course not, but it's cool to see that he's been able to get back up after yesterday.
