[Devil's Elbow]

Says a lot about current Jakobsen that his climbing is on par with an ill, ancient Cavendish.

Evenepoel looks so skinny! Oh, no, wait, that's De Lie in the NC jersey.

 

[KOM]

Cav is behind gruppetto.

You dont say

 

[perico]

Cav’s time gap to the peloton has stabilized for lack of a better word, and it looks like his team is sweeping up riders into the group with them.

 

[red_flanders]

12 mins. Cav is done.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Abrahamsen protests for no reason.

 

[tobydawq]

Abrahamson protests for no reason.

@RedheadDane

Attack!

 

[scribers]

I'm guessing it's cooler at the rugby...

Enjoying your paid retirement Froome!

Girmay going for green. Where does that leave Gerben Thijssen?

Evenepoel is so skinny that I haven't even seen him yet.

 

[RedheadDane]

@RedheadDane

Attack!

Naah, he's Norwegian. The Swedes can have him.

 

[Netserk]

comfirmed? Why no picture from him at all seems wierd

He has a bandage on and is on his reserve bike.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Really nice to see Fabio helping a fellow sprinter in need.

 

[perico]

12 mins. Cav is done.

It’s been 11-12 minutes for the last 20 minutes.

In disguise, wearing something the plebes wear.

How many calories have you burnt worrying about Remco's hour glass figure?

 

[tobydawq]

Visma riding for Wout or for positions?

 

[titan31]

I think this is looking a bit better for Cav. Catching others (though Jacobsen and Rickaert look as dead as he does) but also they didn't lose that much time on that climb.

Was half afraid that time was going to 16/17 minutes just on that climb but he isn't doing as bad there.

Hiding in the team car?

 

[titan31]

Mechanical for Lazkano or is he dropped?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Hiding in the team car?

That would be even better if he can get away with it.

 

[tobydawq]

Mechanical for Lazkano or is he dropped?

Looks dropped.

yeah I think he should be safe if he continues like this.

 

[pelotonIQ]

Cav lost about 10 minutes in 50km.

But there is 110km left and peloton will only go faster, while Cav is likely to fade even more as the stage goes on.

He might be in serious trouble.

I have a feeling they'll make an exception if he OTLs
