I see no one from Alpecin?

Ya, them and Intermarche somehow missed out a break this big

It’s not the 4th anymore.

 

[DNP-Old]

Hindley, is that confirmed?!

Yes. Source: my eyes.

Hindley, is that confirmed?!

Yes, Hindley is confirmed to be in the break.

 

[dazaau]

This is a mental breakaway. I was going to go to bed, I'm not sure I can do that now

 

[DNP-Old]

That is 1000% Hindley.

Are you from the US?
How drunk did you get last night?

 

[Pirazziattacks]

Stars & Stripes torn apart, great political performance by Quinn Simmons.

They should've replaced the stars with mini Lidl logos for extra publicity.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Maybe JV will rather lose the race to Hindley than Pogačar. Hindley is probably a nice guy.

 

[frisenfruitig]

Brutal and very interesting start of the race, good stuff. Curious what they are going to do with Hindley, are both UAE and Jumbo going to pretend he isn't a threat?

 

[tobydawq]

People mocke me for years because I see how stupid this guy is and they are blind to it. He shouldn't be in the Jumbo tdf team, he's a liability

It's a pretty good situation for Jumbo - as long as UAE are panicking. If UAE stop chasing, then Jumbo have problems. But why should they?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Team Soler having the time of his life.

 

[Boehmand]

Too many passengers in the group, and riders that want to get out in front of the climbers ahead of Soudet, it will break up further.

 

[Lequack]

Why are commentators saying this is down to UAE, but Vingegaard is also losing his chances. If I was UAE or Jumbo I wouldn't let Ciccone or Hindley gain 2 minutes just for free, they are both possible GC winners. They can play the Wout and Laporte card and not do any work, but in the end it's not going to help them.

Nice chaos @1m50s

 

[Pirazziattacks]

I think I just saw Hindley working to close this split while Buchmann's sitting on the back of the group. Classic Buchmann.

 

[Netserk]

Yeah, the break will split up.

 

[Didinho]

Jumbo trying to get away without an UAE guy.

 

[dazaau]

It's a pretty good situation for Jumbo - as long as UAE are panicking. If UAE stop chasing, then Jumbo have problems. But why should they?

Well, the risk is no different for jumbo as UAE. Jonas is the defending champion. He is logically still the favourite, the wishes of the fans aside. But half of Jumbo is in the break so who knows. I'm from Australia so go Jai and the breakaway ha ha.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Jakobsen et al making it back tells us that UAE's pace setting is insanely weak (and that they got a bit of help from the team car, but they should have been too far behind for that to begin with).
