Roglic

 

[CyclistAbi]

No Jumbo involved in that crash.

If Rogla was healthy he would win this stage.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Roglic and Thomas were just caught up I think, saw Pogacar and Quintana go down.

Attacking now isn't going to win you friends Taco

 

[noob]

Roglic

Just held up with it, not gone down?

 

[Salvarani]

Just held up with it, not gone down?

Dont know.

Many riders was held up or fell. Some in not that high of a speed, luckily. They more got piled up.

 

[perico]

Mas just chilling at the front. Caught half his team though

 

[Salvarani]

Only three riders in the break. Doomed to fail.

 

[titan31]

Break is too small really. I'd imagine some teams will chase this down as we get further into the stage.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Peloton day today.

 

[Netserk]

Bunch sprint on the menu. Van der Poel seemed more lively in the opening kms, so maybe Alpecin will ride for him in the finale?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

How have both hilly stages managed to end up with three-rider breakaways?

 

[Bonimenier]

Well, this is a bit of let down.

 

[Eeslliw]

I think Pogi is scared. I just saw him and Roglic talking for at least few minutes. Is he gonna "buy" Roglic as well (after Bettiol)? Can he afford him?

 

[Salvarani]

O´Connor having a terrible Tour.

 

[Potomac]

oh god....is this it?

They're just discussing how they're gonna make all the media think they hate each other when really they're on pretty good terms.

The crash was bad timing for a bigger break to get established but yeah it’s disappointing.

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Crash kinda doomed the break, if that hadn't happened we would have seen a lot more attacks...

 

[noob]

If the break is doomed does this mean it will be a GC short battle at the last kilometer??

 

[Red Rick]

Jumbo once again working to gift Pogacar bonus seconds.

 

[Netserk]

The smart play for the break would be to slow down so the gap would be bridgeable after the intermediate sprint. So down to about a minute there.
