Valverde sitting up to make sure he is ready to close down Carapaz' coming attack

Pogi looks like he's out for a Sunday training ride.

 

[Netserk]

So will we see Porte attack on Mont-Saxonnex or Romme?

 

[Eclipse]

Am I missing an amazing stage ?

Yes. yes you are.

 

[SafeBet]

Curious to see how Alaphilippe performs today. He doesn't really like the bad weather.

 

[Breezy1985]

Yes. yes you are.

Right its phone off time.

Pretty sure the Belgian commentators just have an insane hateboner for Roglic over some imagined situations where Roglic should've ridden for Van Aert.

This was an issue for two days in Belgium. Meanwhile certain other not so distant parts of the world have been crying about that for nearly a year.
They aren't Movistar DS's.

Valverde was not wearing a jacket. I think he's dropping back so he can get to the team car. No idea why there isn't a team car in front.

Going to be a good episode next year.

AH no if they make mistakes which affect Valverde they delete the gopros.

What a fail. Reminds me of Carretero in the Giro last year.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Bike Exchange pacing for Simon Yates while he himself is dangling at the end of the group is the most Simon Yates thing there is.
Also, has no one told them that we have bad weather?

Chris the Irishman hammering...

 

[saganftw]

is henao gonna be in yellow today?

 

[RedheadDane]

Chris the Irishman hammering...

Excuse me! You can't go around giving the Irish our riders!

 

[sir fly]

Excuse me! You can't go around giving the Irish our riders!

Must be the rain...

 

[KZD]

At this rate Soren Kragh will be the next yellow jersey.

 

[Volderke]

Best thing for WvA is trying to keep Pogacar "sleeping" for as many mountain stages as possible.
He shouldn't go for yellow today, he should take it as late as possible with Pogacar hopefully still at 3 minutes.

 

[Leinster]

Excuse me! You can't go around giving the Irish our riders!

He has the most Irish accent of any current WT pro!

 

[RedheadDane]

He has the most Irish accent of any current WT pro!

What about Bennett?

Must be the rain...

We have rain too.

The Nans Peters fanclub has sprayed his name on the road somewhere on the Col de la Colombière, so hopefully he will still be in front when he gets there. But he is suffering right now.

That's the crazy thing, isn't it: Van der Poel and van Aert are minutes ahead and Pogacar's team has to do all the work...

fml Nairo really did sandbag yesterday despite having good legs didn't he

How cruel not to paint it closer to the start.

Kuss follows the move with his usual blank, Monday morning commute expression that he wears on most climbs. Again, GPM would be a solid way to recover something from the race for Jumbo, he'd appear well suited to that now he's 40 minutes back too.
