Still 7 Jumbo doms left.

 

[Lequack]

I feel so bad for Hirshi. Poor guy being here in this condition.

What is ailing him? Just being at UAE or something else?

 

[Didinho]

So Van Hooijdonck pulls for 90km and then he drops (more than) half the peloton uphill

 

[TourOfSardinia]

And then fade at the latter end of his pundit career

Froome could replace Blythe for example

 

[noob]

What is ailing him? Just being at UAE or something else?

Just being sent here without being on proper form I think.

As a Quintana fan, that was horrifying. But today I would not complain!

 

[ontheroad]

This is being set up for another Vingegaard nuclear attack on Alpe d'huez. They will try to finish Pog off today.

 

[spalco]

That's a big hill.

And then fade at the latter end of his pundit career

What is the pundit equivalent of a career-threatening crash?

 

[RobertCrawley]

McNutty off the back.

 

[Moondance]

TJV seriously throttling the peloton now. Not much of anything left

 

[SarahtheDane]

What is the pundit equivalent of a career-threatening crash?

Me too scandal

 

[ruamruam]

What is the pundit equivalent of a career-threatening crash?

Having your vocal chords removed?

 

[KZD]

Vsn Hooydonck dropping McNulty really shows the difference in team strength between Jumbo and UAE

 

[Salvarani]

How much time would a rider like Ciccone need going into the last climb?

4-5 minutes?

 

[Lequack]

McNutty off the back.

Everyone is leaving Pog, even his team director.

 

[dgodave]

Its fun to see some of my hometown guys get mentions on tv. Kuss. Q Simmons.

 

[KOM]

McNutty off the back.

Is this a the wire reference or is it just a pun without that context? Need to know if I should smile or not

Not a fan of Simmons for reasons that cannot be stated here.

 

[Eclipse]

How much time would a rider like Ciccone need going into the last climb?

4-5 minutes?

More imo given the energy expenditure..

[MartinGT]

Can't wait to see Pidcock smash this descent.

 

[RobertCrawley]

When you walk through the garden
You gotta watch your back

 

[spalco]

*** finally on the top.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Time for some risk taking on the descent for the front group, they need 4+ at the foot of the Alpe surely.
