Now there's UAE chasing, Pog for the polka dots.

 

[sir fly]

I'm optimistic.
KOM points and the gap breakaway built may detonate the bunch on Val Louron-Azet.

 

[Oliver]

Even de smallest team is riding (Arkea) now.
Weird stage, what will happen more?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Froome watch

 

[ruamruam]

Still 8 minutes... Israel needs to ride a bit harder

They can’t as they don’t want to drop Froome

I've gotten enough Slovenian polka from CyclistAbi, so hopefully someone else will win!

 

[BlueRoads]

I dreamt about Pogacar tonight.

I am really curious how this break was fine for all teams except UAE. Did nobody try to chase it down?

 

[Eclipse]

Ok I am ready to watch the racing may now commence

nobody. also not many riders tried to get in the break, it was really pathetic. why movistar just doesnt put erviti and lopez in the break is mindboggling, this stage was tailor made for him to win.

Nope nobody. Just Bernard at his own tried. There were not many attacks. They received immediately a few minutes. Quickstep blocked the road

 

[HelloDolly]

Why dont ISN actually give Connor Swift a hand...what is the point lining out at the front and not doing anything

There are tough mountains coming up, everybody tries to save their energy, only Colbrelli could have been interested, but he doesn't have the team support, especially since they will try to get Poels the mountain jersey?

 

[meat puppet]

They can’t as they don’t want to drop Froome

Quoted for truth.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Bale
Peyresourde
Val Louron-Azet
Portet
Madrid.

In that order.

You're missing the intermediate round of golf.

[dgodave]

Here comes team Hobbit

New Zealand start up Nation?

 

[sir fly]

Clarke with a crack in the back...

 

[glassmoon]

I look forward to see Nairo attack only to be dropped 2 minutes later

 

[Sciatic]

Lined out at bottom of the first time—could be encouraging
Ed. <first climb>

 

[sir fly]

A little surprising to me.

 

[glassmoon]

Kwiato done already

 

[sir fly]

It really may be smarter to stay with the Yellow jersey and go for the dots later on.
We'll see.

 

[MartinGT]

Kwiato dropped #prayforsmith

 

[Escarabajo]

Kwiat dropped? is he sick?
