Ok boys, how much time will the Vingebot take back today? I say 1 minute.

 

[Netserk]

~29 degrees in the shade. It's an exposed climb with tailwind, they will get warm quick.

 

[scribers]

Lol who would do that?

I would! I will send anyone here a PM telling them they don’t know shat about cycling.

That f&cking eagle cry . . .

Somewhere between -48 seconds and 14 years.

 

[Nomadist]

32 degrees at the bottom

Good for vingo, he needs to take some seconds here if not just for the mental boost

 

[Netserk]

Kelderman should ease up just a minute as Jorgenson returns from the cars.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Carlos Verona what are you doing

 

[Squire]

All this water soaking gives me Landis flashbacks!

 

[Valv.Piti]

~29 degrees in the shade. It's an exposed climb with tailwind, they will get warm quick.

Just like the TdF is supposed to be!

I’ve forgotten how to post photos is it not ? [ img]?

 

[Nomadist]

My God the group is only 20 strong before the last climb even.. Huge time. Gaps today

 

[Brullnux]

I'm surprised Kelderman kept going quite hard with Jorgensen changing his bike

Yes, but Visma really wants the stage today as well I guess.

Now its time!

To me he is the Irish version of Fuglsang - he climbs quite well, has a passable TT and is very durable (but can't sprint to save his life).

He might very well decide to be a GT GC rider, but then will rarely break the top 10 in a GT, and never the top 5 - and would get a much better career focusing on hilly classics and 1-week stage races.

Sure he is exciting rider for day races and may be a problem moving to GC as could be boring and no one is getting near Pog/Vinge these days

But I guess my point is he could do it ...depends on what a team wants

 

[Netserk]

Just like the TdF is supposed to be!

Unfortunately, the Volta didn't come early. Imagine today with 38 degrees.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Visma is doing an all in. Gotta love it!

 

[Brullnux]

Yes, but Visma really wants the stage today as well I guess.

True, but I don't think 2:50 vs 2:30 would have made a massive difference, especially as you get a fresher Jorgensen to help you

Coming from Australia and never seeing snow it’s amazing to see snow at the top
Of the mountains despite the valleys being 35 degrees

 

[noob]

Jesus this gonna burn

 

[Sciatic]

Normally 2’30” would not be enough for the break at the start of climb, but there are some very good climbers here. Depends on whether Pog launches.

ed. Except they already cut 40 ‘ off!

 

[Didinho]

Bring it on!

I did 120km today and had a little hunger knock from the 22°. Don’t call me for this 32°.

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Only Jorgensen left to pull, how long will he be able to do it?

 

[Scarponi]

Those 4 riders basically standing still at bottom of the climb
