When Demare was OTL a few years ago he took along 5 riders.Is DQS all-in in the grupetto? If they OTL, they are (theoretically) gone from the Tour as a team? Has that ever happened?
edit: ah Ala of course.
But that would be even funnier if Ala wins the stage while everyone else has to go.

I think this should be evident. Carapaz needs what. 6-7 mins on Pog at this point?
That's a hail mary ambush if you want to go for it, but you need to beat the also rans enough that they won't do the chasing for UAE anyway.
Sorry if this is the wrong thread, I didn't see any US commentary thread, but for the love of god, they're just unbearable. I like Phil Liggett, but seriously, I just can't take his unending errors time and time and time again. I could go on, but it's just too much. Retire. Please. You are about to turn 78. Enjoy your life.

Uh? Must be the other way round, no? The faster they go, the smaller the time limit.

No, for fairly obvious reasons there is more allowance given if the leaders go ballistic than if it's a dawdle for everyone.

Ineos are killing the break, then later set up Pogacar for another ridiculous performance which will expose him later to tough questions from the press. This will break him mentally so that Carapatz can attack him during the weekend.

I never knew! I always assumed the percentage from winning time was set at fixed number. Thanks!

He’s calling the race off a monitor the size an iPad. I’m not excusing his slowing down, but it isn’t easy to tell what’s happening especially when you aren’t on the race to get reports.

How sweet. First Van Der Poel honouring Poulidor and now Hirschi with a Simpson gimmick.

Grupetto at 9 minutes - probably aiming to be somewhere around 20 mins back at the top this time round.

There have been many threads about Phil Liggett, but he's got a great voice.

Even if it was a set percentage, you still wouldn't know exactly how much time you have until the winner has finished, at which point it'll usually be too late if you're far off already.
I understand that and empathize with him, but he keeps getting corrected by a guy who is also watching the race on an ipad.

He is enjoying life; once a year, he spends a month in France and talks about bike racing.
I have the ad-free Peacock version on; I dont' mind Gerrans, but Ant McCrossan always makes me think of Father Fitzpatrick.
