This didn't age well. Mühlberger gone already, whereas even Aranburu is still in the first group.

Yes, unfortunately.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

EF are suddenly in a very strong position in the break

You may think that but I couldn't possibly comment

Will Carapaz work for Healy or will Healy work for Carapaz

 

[Salvarani]

UAE doesn't have to anything, they would just let the break get 10 minutes.

Sure, but still they could be decimated by two having others work earlier then they would have liked.

 

[ppanther92]

Yeah, wasn't my best prediction ever...

He showed a lot of promise yesterday and on Galibier though….

 

[ice&fire]

Girmay relegated to 3rd place in the sprint. Kinda strange decision

Rules say the rider is relegated to last position in the group he is in. There were only 3 riders sprinting well ahead of the rest of the break, so relegation to 3rd place seems logical.

 

[Landeirovic]

Sure, but still they could be decimated by two having others work earlier then they would have liked.

They dont need work? Just follow. Visma is working

 

[Slavique Nuke]

WvA and Tratnik will be used in the valley, the break will not gain an advantage there.

 

[iBanesto]

Embarassing to get relegated in a sprint like that.

It was Girmay's homage to Philipsen.

 

[Screecher]

Very nice of Visma to gift Pogacar this stage.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Yeah, wasn't my best prediction ever...

Well we can't all be as good at that game as @QueenStagiaire.

 

[Samamba]

Sure, but still they could be decimated by two having others work earlier then they would have liked.

Visma is not gonna sacrifice multiple riders themselves to make UAE get some bottles with Sivakov instead of Wellens.

They just want to make this a hard day. With a super team like last year they would also go for the stage and keep going on the flats, I have some doubts now cause I don't know if their team is strong enough.

 

[Netserk]

Bernal also feeling the heat.

 

[ice&fire]

Will Carapaz work for Healy or will Healy work for Carapaz

Gap is not growing. They will work for nothing.

 

[Salvarani]

They dont need work? Just follow. Visma is working

Someone needs to go down to the car. Protect from wind in the valley and so on.

 

[ppanther92]

Ooof, disappointing for Bernal

 

[BigCoward]

Bernal got covid? Pog is so lucky having it 2 weeks ago.

 

[ppanther92]

But tough tough stage

Making the day hard is getting rid of some his teammates as well.

 

[Lequack]

So why are Visma chasing this break?

 

[ppanther92]

Bernal got covid? Pog is so lucky having it 2 weeks ago.

Well, I wouldn’t necessarily call it lucky. But maybe a blessing in disguise somehow

 

[fbjim]

hey it's Nans Peters again

 

[ppanther92]

So why are Visma chasing this break?

Don’t thunk they chase the break, rather making it hard

 

[Taxus4a]

Well, Visma is traying to make hard the stage from the begining. That is the way. But we will see if they have team for that

 

[Tim Cahill]

So why are Visma chasing this break?

Throwing the kitchen sink at the stage and seeing who blinks

 

[Netserk]

So why are Visma chasing this break?

I think they'll ease up again after the next climb so some helpers can return. But fast pace until then.
