Kwiatkowski dropping is the first true sign of Ineos riding different than previous years.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Kwiato done already

Riding with the Froometto now, that's a surprise.

Kwiatkowski dropping is the first true sign of Ineos riding different than previous years.

Classic Ineos dom rotation tbh.

Expect TGH to drop Mas and Lutsenko later

saving himself for a win in the break tomorrow?

saving himself for a win in the break tomorrow?

Tried to get in todays so maybe.

 

[HelloDolly]

Not sure that was good tactics for Quintana

Might have been better to stay wt the peloton to the 2nd last climb

 

[glassmoon]

Cav and Froome OTL would be epic... but it most likely won't happen.

 

[staubsauger]

Yeah Israel, why just jump along if you can chase to deny the move and work for Pogacar!

Tactical brilliance at display

Movistar has become such a joke as a team. Every single stage they are more creative in their tactical misery.

They are also very far from their main target.

Team competition.

 

[meat puppet]

Quintana, Poels and Latour not really getting anywhere. Should have moved later.

E: Oh, Latour did just that.

If you sit in the peloton you may not have points on offer on the 2nd climb because you get there 7 mins+ down too if the peloton doesn't ride.

The break is too weak, there may be points on offer on the 2nd climb but the GC guys should dominate the final one. I think going here was fine

 

[MrTea1976]

I think ISN spooked Quintana and Poels. Might work out well for them later.

 

[glassmoon]

Nairo

E: Oh, Latour did just that.

They ‘be succeeded (whether intended or not) of making the race hard for all involved.

UAE is reducing the gap, Pogacar wants to win the queen stage. Even if he doesn't gap his rivals he will be favoured at the finish from a small group but I guess he wants to win solo.

 

[BlueRoads]

Bjerg's face - Pogacar's

 

[luckyboy]

lol Sean Kelly speaking about Latour then

 

[SafeBet]

That hair off Bjerg's helmet. Pog is a trend setter.

 

[sir fly]

Pretty harsh from Kelly.
Riders often attack when they feel they can.
A good opportunity's worth nothing if the rider doesn't have the legs.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Long & winding road

 

[MartinGT]

Ineos getting schooled lol

 

[Red Rick]

Classic Ineos dom rotation tbh.

Expect TGH to drop Mas and Lutsenko later

You need to work on your sarcastic predictions tbh.

 

[Eclipse]

Baffled what's happened to Tao tbh, he looked in pretty fine form at the Dauphine

 

[Rollthedice]

Ineos Grand Tour winner already dropped.

He once sais that he likes to win stages with a little sprint, qo he might not care to win alone
