Pretty sure the French teams still speak French.

I'm now revising my comment from yesterday, It's no fun at all you say the same stuff I do - only faster

There are probably DS's on French teams that don't speak a word of English, so that would surprise me

I'd imagine it's French or English if there is a requirement

Pretty sure the French teams still speak French.

Maybe they just want to make sure everyone understands the messages. Sometimes the reception isn't too great.

Was Madous told he'd walk back to the hotel if he didn't make it into the break today?

I'm back home! 100% coverage now.

 

[Boehmand]

Would be great with some heli pictures now, so we can actually see the gaps

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Most teams represented, no GC threats, and still the break isn't being let go...

 

[HelloDolly]

Is your VPN making things weird?

Thanks ..not VPN ...found problem though

 

[Tim Cahill]

EF's entire team in the chasing group

 

[perico]

Pidcock attacks on the downhill with 2 JV and Majka with him

Which is why I think they will ultimately lose out on Rodriguez (if this is a move not to protect his position).

 

[Boehmand]

People keep drifting off the front of the peloton, it may very well come back together, with just Alaphilippe and Lutsenko out in front

 

[Volderke]

Why are jumbo pulling the peloton?

Yeah tbh you would think they would shut up shop a bit more with someone on the podium, 3 guys in the break is overkill.

 

[Boehmand]

Why are jumbo pulling the peloton?

Probably an attemt to stop the crazyness

For sure, it was a hard stage. I had good legs. We take it day by day.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

The most reasonable explanation is that they think Vingegaard can win the stage. Which tells you all you need to know about how weird they're being, setting themselves up for GC threats to get involved when they wouldn't be otherwise.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Seb Piquet said there was a crash.

 

[Salvarani]

Both Pog and Vinge just escaped that

 

[titan31]

Looks bad. One of the Jumbos looks rough

 

[Samamba]

*** joke

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Gigantic crash, ***.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Vingegaard and Pogi are okay. Thanks god

 

[RobertCrawley]

Looks bad. One of the Jumbos looks rough

I heard the name Van Barle.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Lots down, TJV rider looks badly hurt, maybe NVH, also Bernal and Biniam down

 

[Boehmand]

Looks like Van Hooydonck got something from a spectator in his wheel

 

[SHAD0W93]

Here we go.

Not nice for Vinge to ignore nice Powless.
