[Salvarani]

Girmay relegated to 3e place intermidiate today

I guess they counted the three of them as a group.

Relegated... you get put on the last place of the group.

 

[RobertCrawley]

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

So he gets some points? Very odd.

 

[tobydawq]

Can they actually control a break this strong? It's much stronger than yesterday.

Of course.

 

[tobydawq]

So he gets some points? Very odd.

Not really...

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Break doesn't have much chance against Visma, even Laporte is faster than them on the climb.

That aged well

 

[tobydawq]

Mühlberger listening to me, going in the group. Think he should be one of the strongest.

He was dropped when Carapaz joined.

 

[Nomadist]

Just let the break go

Breakaway wins are turning to myth

 

[Tim Cahill]

Healy once again riding like a fool, all brawn no brains

 

[Finn84]

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

I think that had that been the finish, best three would have got the same time. So he'll get demoted as last place of that group.

 

[Salvarani]

Breakaway wins are turning to myth

Folklore

 

[Samamba]

Is Visma just trying to go hard on the climbs and chill on the flat or do they also want the stage?
Cause I don't see them keeping the break in check on the long flat parts.

 

[ppanther92]

Yates dropped by Romo and Healy

 

[fbjim]

peloton let a single break go challenge (impossible)

 

[Fantastico]

Mas isn't even the best Movistar climber in the break atm...
Mühlberger finished with Bernal yesterday and Formolo is a specialist for long range attacks from the breakaway.

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

 

[kingjr]

Girmay relegated... to third

 

[ppanther92]

He was dropped when Carapaz joined.

Yeah, unfortunately. Expected him stronger after yesterday.

 

[tobydawq]

Meintjes beating Girmay in the sprint.

 

[Salvarani]

Is Visma just trying to go hard on the climbs and chill on the flat or do they also want the stage?
Cause I don't see them keeping the break in check on the long flat parts.

Maybe trying to get rid of Politt and Wellens, so UAE has to burn Sivakov/Soler on the flat parts.

 

[SHAD0W93]

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

There was a split so he was put to the back of the three man group, which was lucky for him. They could still take points after the stage.

 

[Heston]

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

Romo bridged though, and he looked very easy while doing it. So Mas is likely not Movistar's best man in the break now

 

[Colombiano Cadence]

EF are suddenly in a very strong position in the break

 

[Mayomaniac]

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

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

 

[Samamba]

Maybe trying to get rid of Politt and Wellens, so UAE has to burn Sivakov/Soler on the flat parts.

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

 

[Danskebjerge]

One of the best things about mountain stages is getting the double drama of the battle for the win in the breakaway and the battle for the GC after that. With the way this Tour is ridden so far, we are getting less of this. At the same time, we see a lot of great riders with no GC chances wasting energy and not getting any results.

 

[Netserk]

Many riders are fully unzipped.
