I'm sure she'll try to decapitate Jonas or Tadej in a couple of minutes.

So which is worse a big flag and wooden pole or bag of salty potato chips?
English commentary referred to Covid as " the illness ".

 

[Tim Cahill]

Carpaz, Yates, Mas have to make the bridge and go past on the next climb or it's over for them, Superdévoluy really suits the 4 up front.

 

[Samamba]

I see what you mean. But someone who was in Grp 2 at the start of the climb will be the likely winner, so didn’t matter that much?

Well yeah someone, it's still diminishing your chances. Martin and Madouas for example are jumping but I wouldn't be surprised if the gap towards the big group goes up again in between the climbs cause no one is working

 

[tobydawq]

Martinez not even dropped yet. From the peloton.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Too steep climbs for Cort, I think. Hope I'm wrong.

If he gets over Noyer at or near the front he can win it

It’s a big climb, the best climbers will decide the race there.

 

[Sciatic]

If he gets over Noyer at or near the front he can win it

Why would he still be near the front of a 7.5 km 8% climb when he’s in a grp with Carapaz, Mas, de Plus, etc?

 

[Tim Cahill]

He's not in that group, he's up front 1.20 ahead

Visma rider has @30mm wheels, not as deep as Cort..and UnoX has aero bike, porn mustache he is going to win..

 

[Danskebjerge]

How I hate sticky bottles, sticky bags, everything that's sticky really.

A rider getting four of them at just one visit at a team car is stupid.

 

[dgodave]

Is anybody else bored of cycling?

Sometimes when I ride the same roads back to my house for the millionth time it gets a little boring.

 

[Heston]

This should still be between Carapaz and Yates. Front group dont have enough gap for a climb this difficult

 

[Samu Cuenca]

If I ever publish a cycling dictionary (big if), the definition for chasse patate would just be a picture of Guillaume Martin.

 

[Potomac]

Is anybody else bored of cycling?

Cycling in Florida is really boring. Unless you see an alligator. Or a big effing snake.

 

[Samamba]

If Carapaz has his Plateau de Beille legs he should smoke them all

 

[Tim Cahill]

This will depend on how tired Carapaz/Yates are and how many games they fancy playing (Carapaz)

 

[Tim Cahill]

G1 have no room to mess around, work then sort it out on the final climb

This valley has killed them unfortunately, and the cooperation behind looks good

 

[Samamba]

Thomas emptying himself for De Plus

 

[ciranda]

If I ever publish a cycling dictionary (big if), the definition for chasse patate would just be a picture of Guillaume Martin.

I would throw your dictionary out or actually never take it home from the library in the first place cause Guillaume is great and not just today

 

[Didinho]

Giro Yates flying.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Simon Yates has had enough, looking back.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Breakaway G returns!

 

[Sciatic]

He's not in that group, he's up front 1.20 ahead

Well it’s 40’ now. I just think some folks are underestimating Noyer—8 % is nothing to sneeze at and will be for the climbers with the most in their legs —those in now what is now Grp 3.

Fine if I’m wrong it will be interesting racing either way. But this is not a hilly stage with a normal chasing grp. The climbers there haven’t been working while those in front have.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Breakaway G returns!

oh he's been dropped
