[wheresmybrakes]

Good grief! what a plonker.

 

[glassmoon]

Heartattack Wout moment

 

[Tim Cahill]

Wout's fault, eyes on the road, he's cracking up here

 

[RobertCrawley]

Wow that was close

My heart is in my throat.

Kruijswijk and van Aert hitting the deck. Hopefuly to catch the peloton and not wasting too much energy. In addition now van Aert almost hitting the car.

As expected. This will be a nervous stage and will likely define this Tour edition.

 

[johnymax]

Van Aert is a danger to everybody today. Almost brought Kruijswijk down again. He should calm down...

 

[Aimar16]

It was a close one

 

[dutchdescent]

Wout's fault, eyes on the road, he's cracking up here

Reminiscent of PR 2020… how many times did he crash then? 3-4 times?

 

[Savant12]

Van Aert is a danger to everybody today. Almost brought Kruijswijk down again. He should calm down...

Too many red bulls.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Plan A for this stage from JV likely changed a bit. We'll see.

 

[Aimar16]

He's read the WVA book of telling people one thing and doing something totally different. He'll go for it today.

I doubt it. He is constantly on the end of the peleton

 

[Bonimenier]

I doubt it. He is constantly on the end of the peleton

That's not really something new for him, even if he's good he's at the back of the peloton often.

 

[titan31]

Going to be impossible to get back to the front here

 

[Volderke]

WvA was probably dozing at the pace of the peloton;
now he will be full of adrenaline and ready for the action...

 

[RobertCrawley]

Going to be impossible to get back to the front here

He might be ok. There's still 25+ km to the cobbles.

 

[noob]

Going to be impossible to get back to the front here

Yes all the other teams should be happy about him being at the back instead sadly

 

[Aimar16]

That's not really something new for him, even if he's good he's at the back of the peloton often.

We'll see. The first sector is not far away

 

[Bonimenier]

We'll see. The first sector is not far away

I'm not saying he has the legs, just that him being at the back is not the indication for that. Not expecting too much of him.

 

[titan31]

He might be ok. There's still 25+ km to the cobbles.

There's like 2k now I think for first sector. It did open up a bit there finally but now I think all the Jumbos are at the middle or back.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

To be honest if I wasn't a top gc favourite I would 100% try and go in the breakaway today. At worst you stay out of trouble

 

[Big Doopie]

Pog on his own already.
