SKA sitting on. Do DSM seriously think Bol's a better chance? He can't win unless absolutely everything goes right for him.

Broccoli banned? So now I dont have to read about the greatness of the danish riders every 3rd post?!

This is Kasper.....Broccoli's ghost.....returning to scare you from time to time by yelling.....Kragh!

 

[Billie]

Rickaert and also Kragh not working. They won't stay away

Ok, then I have to be the one to give a recap of Asgreen's post race (or pre race or exit, whichever you prefer) interview, in which he said that DQS didn't want anyone in the break because it would be a stupid waste of energy.

 

[Faserr]

What is DSM doing?

He must be, otherwise the thread would have had twice as many posts by now. Or he might just have had a heart attack since there are two Danes in the break

Ill be very mad at DSM if Søren Kragh doesnt pull, but im already very mad at that team. Surely Kragh has a better chance from here than Bol in a sprint.

DSM are beyond stupid, they give specific orders before the stage and the riders have to obey.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Andersen and Rickaert not riding. This could be crucial...

Rickaert not pulling makes sense - anything else would be stupid - but Andersen? Blows my mind.

 

[Pirazziattacks]

This is where De Gendt should've attacked.

Would hardly mind seeing the team fold if that means the people in charge there never return to the sport, tbh.

Agree. What an absolute horrible team, yet commentators never mentions that, but Movistar's tactics when DSM obviously is whats wrong with professional cycling.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Good stage for GVA tomorrow if he has any form - this looks a wasted effort

The whole thing about their riders having no say when it comes to their schedule is just stupid.

 

[MartinGT]

WT is GVA doing?!

Its new-school old-school.

 

[dgodave]

Thankfully I tuned in early to see that....pagoda?

At least this year, they don't have any results whatsoever to show for themselves. Maybe they will just fire the riders?

 

[Baldinger]

DSM is determined not to win anything this year. SKA needs to find a way out.

I'm just too premodern to use the real definitions

I think that has something to do with that team alienating every rider that has the ability to win a bike race... a gram of ego and youre out

I also found it very strange how he always felt the need to use that term. I have never seen it elsewhere...

Yep, that's very likely. They do have a very uninteresting roster. And I think even Søren Kragh is gettinf enough of them even if he has expressed happiness with riding for them so far.

 

[sir fly]

Movi close to the head of the bunch... interesting.

Interesting formation. Movi followed by Ineos, UAE and TJV in that order.
