[Devil's Elbow]

O'Connor is channeling his inner Zakarin now.

 

[dgodave]

So many cows.

 

[perico]

That’s a massive gap from O’Connor to the Colombians

 

[SafeBet]

Higuita flying down the descent!

 

[Salvarani]

Higuita drops Quintana

 

[BlueRoads]

wow Higuita

 

[Netserk]

Quintana asks the motorbike to pull out a red flag.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Directly asked about how he, with his rather vast GT experience, could help Vingegaard, the most deviant answer came from Kuss, not supporting the idea of helping Vinggaard, but on the opposite that everyone at the team could ride their own change.

Kuss doesn't even help Rogla!!!

UAE has 3-4? men there with Pogacar at the moment?

 

[Netserk]

There's nothing like a motorbike in between two riders to close a gap on a descent.

 

[Vino's Mum]

Higuita just chilling, having a snack... at 90kph, in this rain.

 

[Salvarani]

Omg...

 

[Netserk]

McNulty (say the Danish commentators) not looking where he is going, he is off the road now (didn't seem too bad).

 

[TourOfSardinia]

UAE has 3-4? men there with Pogacar at the moment?

one less now

 

[Devil's Elbow]

That was a masterclass in what not to do on a wet descent.

 

[Salvarani]

At least he landed in the grass

 

[SafeBet]

When did pro riders stop valuing the skill of looking ahead?

The legacy

Nairo is like one of those Russian athletes having to ride under a neutral flag. Expecting no GC action on the climb, although I did see Brailsford still giving it the biggun in the press the other day, might try something in the crosswinds or something.

I think attacks will come in the second half of it:

 

[KZD]

Does anyone know how far behind Van Aert is?

 

[SafeBet]

O'Connor not giving up.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Does anyone know how far behind Van Aert is?

17 minutes, so 8 behind the peloton.

 

[70kmph]

Does anyone know how far behind Van Aert is?

Van Aert 16:29
