Haha Cav to Guerreiro.

What was that really?

 

[Eclipse]

Guerreiro always seems to have fallings out with people.

 

[Savant12]

What was that really?

Cav angry at Guerreiro slacking at the back.

 

[glassmoon]

Mas crashed in the feed zone?

 

[JosefK]

Cav dropped a bidon. Will he get excommunicated? (or just fined)?

 

[MartinGT]

I never knew there was an Ineos rider in the break. Why would Ineos chase it down then as ROb Hatch kept going on about?

Dropped or threw?

 

[JohnWayne]

What was that really?

Probably that all started with Guerreiro not pulling in the group and then again not in the chase back. Still haven't seen Cort do a pull either.

They've been dropped, but question still stands

 

[JosefK]

Dropped or threw?

It dropped out of his back sack.

 

[MrTea1976]

Van Baarle not dropped now.

 

[jarvo]

Dropped or threw?

looks like it fell from his pocket?

 

[Eclipse]

They've been dropped, but question still stands

They're back

 

[TourOfSardinia]

but Cav is always in the Green zone

 

[Netserk]

Best designed week 1 transitional stage since Sheffield 2014. Don't let me down, guys.

2019 had both Epernay and Saint-Étienne in the first week.

And I'm not sure why hills and middle mountains are transitional and cobbles not.

It's ASO.

From now on we will have multiple 250k hilly stages every year.

Ok, even I have troubles believing that.

Officially, you can only have two stages longer than 240 km (but while that rule has been in effect, there has been at least one GT afaik with three stages longer than that).

 

[MrTea1976]

Let's hope this gets to 8+ minutes. UAE not looking happy.

 

[Rollthedice]

How many monument wins are there among the break riders?

Because Van Baarle cannot win the Tour, maybe?

 

[Breezy1985]

looks like it fell from his pocket?

Riders now mastering the art of making a throw look like an accident

 

[tobydawq]

How many monument wins are there among the break riders?

13.

Gilbert - 5
Nibali - 3
Van Aert, Van der Poel, Asgreen, Stuyven and Cavendish - 1

 

[MrTea1976]

How many monument wins are there among the break riders?

Multiple monument winners, multiple world champions, multiple grand tour winners.

Serious break.

 

[DanielSong39]

My question is why Cavendish didn't sit up the moment he got the maximum points from the sprint

Is he supporting Asgreen?

 

[Breezy1985]

Multiple monument winners, multiple world champions, multiple grand tour winners.

Serious break.

I keep forgetting Yates is in this race. Some ninja job from him so far

 

[King Boonen]

My question is why Cavendish didn't sit up the moment he got the maximum points from the sprint

Is he supporting Asgreen?

Going for the win...

Sliding space, for the end of the day, will finish the day in the main group rather than behind it
