Gaudu dropped before Længen.

I thought Gaudu was still in contact at the back when they went over the climb

 

[Ripper]

Ciccone wants it today.

I find Ciccone such an irritating character on the road. Not sure if he's actually irritating when he's not racing

 

[Valv.Piti]

Ciccone you dumb boy, take a breather my man

 

[TourOfSardinia]

How ugly are those Lidl patches

Ciccone vs Pinot is a spectacularly obnoxious dramatic battle

He’s animating the race and the battle for the KOM so nothing irritating for me.

Jumbo dropping half the peloton in the descent. A lot of gaps.

He's a funny and easy going person off the bike as far as I know.

Quit watching if it bothers you so badly

I'm on another forum for a different sport and I'm constantly amazed at how often posters there are so easily bothered by ridiculous things. They get so upset over an announcer, uniforms, or other stuff. Maybe it's the times. Have we always been this way?

Bit late today trying to catch up 3 thoughts while doing so:

- Alaphilippe is the ultimate memelord
- Whatever Jumbo hallucinate Pogs weakness is and how smart that is, atleast theyre acting upon and therefor making the race harder/more chaotic/more exciting so thats good I guess
- Couldnt really ask for a more loaded break (apart from someone more interesting for gc) but other than that everyone that should be in there is in there

I'm usually first in line to criticize Jumbo but this tactic is at least something different, albeit quite old school.

Just get on the front & ride a strong tempo until everyone in the bunch is asphyxiated. Will it work? No idea. But it makes a change from sending WvA up the road.

I still think Pog is stronger than Vingegaard, something which after a certain point becomes impossible to counter tactically anyway.

From CyclingNews:
Powless remains in the KOM lead on 54 points. Ciccone now on 42 points in second place.

 

[Didinho]

Serge Pauwels: Really fast descent in the end. New road. Steep. Some safety cushions. It makes it dangerous.

 

[KOM]

Damn nice drone shot through the cave

 

[titan31]

I wish Voigt would shut up

These 6 donkeys have to work together if they want to win

 

[Samamba]

So Vingegaard wants the win and destroy Pogacar today I guess? Jumbo is going really hard.

 

[Valv.Piti]

This is how you control a break, lads. UAE couldn't do it on this easiest stage to do it.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Laporte is a cheap version of WVA. But can't say the guy is not good, he is an hell of a rider.

They can do whatever they want. They can‘t beat the Jumbo train.

 

[titan31]

This is coming fully back

 

[tobydawq]

These 6 donkeys have to work together if they want to win

What's the point in calling professional athletes donkeys?

 

[Bolder]

How ugly are those Lidl patches

The color of money...

 

[Aimar16]

They can do whatever they want. They can‘t beat the Jumbo train.

They are certainly better in the mountains than Laporte or Van Hooydonck

 

[Monte Serra]

Laporte is a cheap version of WVA. But can't say the guy is not good, he is an hell of a rider.

Laporte has significantly more wins than Van Aert this season: 4-2

 

[Volderke]

They are certainly better in the mountains than Laporte or Van Hooydonck

The race situation today is proving you're wrong
