Go Pidcock!!!

 

[Boehmand]

...I guess Jumbo's master plan for wearing down Pog, was to have all of their team, sans Kuss and Jonas, get dropped at the bottom of the climb...brilliant strategy!!

Kelderman and Van Baarle are there too

 

[dazaau]

GC group being led by uae but the pace doesn't appear high given the break is losing little time

 

[Salvarani]

I think the Jumbo riders dropping are just saving their legs.

Van Baarle, Kuss and Kelderman are still there.

They are on the defense today.

 

[Gigs_98]

UAE leading the group with four riders while Pogacar has to make up positions himself doesn't seem ideal.

Makes no sense to me they are using Laengen, when they should be attacking the bottom of the climb.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Kelderman and Van Baarle are there too

I missed Van Baarle, but don't see Kelderman.

They look pretty strong right now to me.

It is a long climb.

Easing himself into it instead of fighting for positions early on.

 

[Ludwigzgz]

Time for Yates to go. Vingo isolated already.
And there is Kuss back.

Kuss is from another team of Vingegaard?

 

[RobertCrawley]

Peak Jai Hindley right there.

 

[perico]

Soler putting the hammer down

 

[SafeBet]

Bunch has actually lost time since the beginning of the climb and UAE doesn't have many domestiques left.

 

[Sciatic]

They look pretty strong right now to me.

But they’re not even gaining time on the break?

 

[Gigs_98]

Might the break actually make it? I'm baffled by how big the gap still is.

 

[Boehmand]

Beautiful overhead pictures

 

[Salvarani]

The break are going full gas though. I think they will fade.

If not, fair play.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Pog going to go nuclear

 

[dazaau]

But they’re not even gaining time on the break?

They are losing time. Bizarre

 

[Didinho]

Comon Max!

 

[RobertCrawley]

There's a long way to go. When the big boys hit, that time will drop like a stone.

 

[Boehmand]

Pacher cooked

 

[DrSahl]

Pog going to go nuclear

I think the same. I will be very very surprised if he is not in the yellow jersey after this stage.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Going to be some fan involvement here, Carlton's already ready to kick off

 

[Reynard]

Puy de dome was such a good exp4rience compared to that. Those idiots will kick a GC rider from his bike today.
