I wonder what Leipheimer is doing these days.

I did an organized gravel ride in Truckee CA a couple of weeks ago, and he was there, racing. I think he made the podium.

 

[Boehmand]

I see Neilands and Asgreen trying to get away on the descent in around 15 K - they both need to gap the climbers before the last climb.

 

[Salvarani]

Voight is class on the moto-bike.

Actually has something to say as well. Not just a gimmick.

 

[Elos Anjos]

Why the hell do we keep hearing the temperature in Fahrenheit and not in Celsius?

Good to hear.

36F according to Jens. Poor guys must be freezing.

at least it's not 36K

I wonder what Leipheimer is doing these days.

Lives in Santa Rosa, CA. Still rides a lot and has a cycling tourism business and puts on some mass start rides. Got divorced about 5 years ago. Odessa left him to start an animal rescue (they had a damn zoo at their house) and a cannabis company.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Going by the price of my last cycling drinks bottle, the teams spend over 150k a season on bottles.

5 bottles per rider - 40 an hour, 5 five hour stage - 200
200 bottles a day, 100 days of racing, 20,000 bottles
£7 a bottle - 140,000

I hope they get a better deal than me.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Police are looking for Leipheimer if anyone has seen him, wanted in connection with Damiano Cunego being robbed of a Tour de Suisse victory.

 

[Boehmand]

at least it's not 36K

It would be a very different race, if is was -237 C

 

[Salvarani]

Wonder if the break is gonna make it.

 

[Boehmand]

Is Groenewegen in the peloton, since Jayco is now pulling?

 

[Salvarani]

Is Groenewegen in the peloton, since Jayco is now pulling?

Or protecting the gap for S. Yates to Bilbao?

 

[Faserr]

Is Groenewegen in the peloton, since Jayco is now pulling?

No. Bilbao is 11th on GC. They are defending S. Yates.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Wonder if the break is gonna make it.

50/50

 

[Aimar16]

Is Groenewegen in the peloton, since Jayco is now pulling?

He is almost 13 minutes behind.

 

[RobertCrawley]

A long hot day.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

No. Bilbao is 11th on GC. They are defending S. Yates.

They may also be thinking of Mezgec who was one of the few fast guys to be climbing with the GC group earlier in the stage

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Van der Poel was falling behind in the pulling competition lately.

 

[ManicJack]

He is almost 13 minutes behind.

What is the estimate on the time cut?

 

[Izzyeviel]

'only 35c'

I'm a mass of sweat and unable to move when it goes past 26c let alone 30.

 

[RobertCrawley]

What is the estimate on the time cut?

Doesn't look good. The Broom Wagon is 22 minutes behind.

 

[Aimar16]

What is the estimate on the time cut?

I have no idea but Jakobsen is already 22 minutes behind.

 

[RobertCrawley]

I have no idea but Jakobsen is already 22 minutes behind.

They use some kind of strange calculus to figure it out that I can never understand. But I would guess not a lot over 30 minutes.

 

[ManicJack]

Doesn't look good. The Broom Wagon is 22 minutes behind.

Where can you see that info?
