If I judge this day by morning this will be epic stage

 

[gregrowlerson]

Gap from 1st to 10th on the stage today?

Going with 8 minutes

13

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Ofc, just a morning starter punishment ensuring an exhausting stage in the end.
Indeed easy to find quite more "packed" stage designs.
But "overly HC crowded" stage designs tend to lead to defencive races and grumpy young men at the CN forum

Don't call me young.

He reeled in Pogi

Tbf it looked more like Pogi reeled in himself by having a bad day or not eating enough.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Vingegaard follows Pog everywhere

 

[Bolder]

I thought VLab might try this on Bonnette, but this is not going to end well, I fear.

 

[will-10]

Politt outclimbing a crazy amount of the peloton

 

[Colombiano Cadence]

Who is going to pace the valleys for UAE?

 

[Didinho]

Vingo wheelsucking like never before. Like couple stages before when he went with Pogi who was catching a bottle.

If Pogi is gone, is dead, he’s still there I guess.

 

[Kangaridoo]

Kinda pathetic for Vingegaard to stick to Pogacar's wheel at all times

Total carnage - this looks like it will be a fun stage.

I like Visma dropping the bomb regardless if it is for offensive or defensive play. Everybody getting hurt at the moment. UAE got the team and the riders, but they are going to work for it today.

That's probably the case no matter what they do. This is at least something other than wait for Pogacar to attack

The Undroppable German

 

[Colombiano Cadence]

The Undroppable German

He has another 13km to climb yet

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Maybe Pog will fake drop, so Remco can attack Vingegaard and get a big gap.

 

[Samamba]

Pog about to drop!!!

 

[Didinho]

Joao charging his Yoyo, gonna be ready for Bonette.

Wtf is Pogi doing though, he can't drop much further or he'll, well, drop.

Edit: okay looked like he went to have some chats with Almeida and Politt.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

It makes sense to listen to what Pog said to his teammates.

 

[RedheadDane]

What a race! All chips are in.

As long as nobody throws them...

Drafting is an important element of professional cycling.

 

[SHAD0W93]

where is Almeida ?Soler and Sivakov are pacing the peloton..Yates with Pog

Right now further in front of Adam and Pogacar.

Making sure his collegues are feeling good

Well played, sir.

 

[OJRvE]

I wonder if Pog dropped down to encourage Politt as he will be important in the valley.
