Latour going to get spat out now probably.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Alaphilippe very intent on making the break today.

 

[Tim Cahill]

This wont be a proper TDF until i hear the phrase 'and here's Guillaume Martin getting in on the act'

 

[Didinho]

Still 25km to the sprint.

 

[KOM]

Latour with an absolute masterclass in cooking yourself

 

[Devil's Elbow]

UAE have zero control here.

 

[dazaau]

Pogi ha ha

 

[Tim Cahill]

Attaque du Tadej Pogacar

 

[titan31]

Jumbo very active in getting in the breaks

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Jumbo trying to put a lot of pressure on UAE by sending riders in breaks.

 

[KOM]

Pogi is such a hall of fame troll. I love it

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Pogacar puts in more attacks on the flat than Vingegaard on the climbs.

 

[Didinho]

Pogi is him.

 

[Didinho]

Cavagna in front. You better follow if you want to be in the break.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Cavendish and Welsford, also no chance of making Paris.

 

[titan31]

Finally got a break it looks like. Strong looking break too (Ciccone, Haig, Konrad, Benoot, Grosschartner,Uran, Madous, Gall all in it)

Or maybe not, still getting attacks

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This breakaway has more climbing talent than the GC of some WT stage races...

 

[dazaau]

Do we think Jumbo are desperate to get into the break for defensive or offensive purposes?

 

[RobertCrawley]

Exciting start! The opposite of yesterday.

 

[titan31]

Do we think Jumbo are desperate to get into the break for defensive or offensive purposes?

I'd say defensive, don't have to ride at all if they get a Benoot, WVA etc up front

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Waerenskjold dropped by... Jakobsen

 

[Tim Cahill]

What is this the break, there's about 5 GC guys there?

 

[titan31]

This is a giant break

 

[Didinho]

Wout and others made the jump. Really big group now. Pedersen also. Alpecin might work soon.

 

[DNP-Old]

Bernal is in the lead group.
