The yellow Jersey and the Shark

 

[Red Rick]

Guys.

For the first time in many a year

It looks like the breakaway doesn't disappoint me.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

and the new De Gendt

 

[glassmoon]

that's too big to actually work, isn't it

 

[Savant12]

First test for UAE.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Now we need to see some break's team members messing up Pog's train

Guys.

It looks like the breakaway doesn't disappoint me.

Technically this isn't even a break, it's a split, isn't it? I would argue the yellow jersey group is automatically the peloton if they are in front.

There's a good amount of teammates for the top breakaway guys, so it should work decently for now. Which teams will chase like crazy is the question.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

This is where TV full coverage really helps

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

200km to go. This is going to be a long hard day.

 

[Red Rick]

UAE isn't taking turns in a way that makes me think they'll keep this up a few hours.

UAE are killing themselves

 

[Eclipse]

This is spicy

They have to though I think. If they just stop now, the break could win by 10 minutes. Who will help them, ISN?

Who are they worried about?

 

[johnymax]

i dont believe they are so naive, nobody will let van aert in break after last year he showed good climbing legs, not to mention the last thing you want is to have to deal with roglic and vingegaard and van aert

No, Dylan B is in the break

 

[tobydawq]

Decent development.

 

[MrTea1976]

Who are they worried about?

MVDP

 

[Rollthedice]

Who are they worried about?

They didn't get the memo that Nibali is here to train for OG.

 

[Netserk]

I just went back and saw the elastic break, but the producers showed Vakoc just as the last few riders including Cav made it across. Ridiculous TV production.

 

[SafeBet]

No Dylan B is in the break

ISN = Isreal I think

 

[johnymax]

Who are they worried about?

Van Aert mainly I guess

 

[TourOfSardinia]

ISN = Isreal I think

Ooops my bad - its that Froomy team!

 

[HelloDolly]

UAE are in the market for riders to support Pog but it seems like they are looking for climbers

They need very strong roulers and a good road captain as he wont lose in the mountains but he can lose on a day like today or in cross winds

 

[glassmoon]

Van Aert mainly I guess

I'd say either Ala or Nibali...
