Abrahamsen is bestial.

 

[noob]

Abrahamsen

One looks like a werewolf and the other looks like part of a Jane Austen production!

 

[Rob5091]

He was unusually low-keyed after the ITT as well, not his usual buoyant self.

Bored apparently.

 

[Faserr]

Abrahamsen is just having fun pushing 370 Watt all day.

 

[noob]

So unlike Pogacar to be mad at that.

nah, I think he's had it with the motos after last year when he was hindered on that climb

@mou taught us pogi doesn’t care so much for the tour compared to other races. Maybe a little bit of that coming out

 

[noob]

If Uno X could keep Abrahamsen it would be fun

 

[RobertCrawley]

NBC is doing a piece on how Abrahamsen crashed and swallowed his tongue. His teammates had to pull it out! The life of a professional cyclist.

They’ll keep him. There’s someone like him at every GT. Rarely are they as effective at animating a race after

 

[Tricycle Rider]

NBC did a sidepiece on Abrahamsen's crash now, damn, that sounded pretty serious.

Go Abrahamsen! (I have a soft spot for guys who come back from a bad crash.)

Weird image of Philipsen taking a leak while another Alpecin rider is picking up his bike right next to him

 

[dobrien]

Abrahamsen is on a ride; whether he stays away or not this will be a fun one to watch. He's looks all in!

 

[Salvarani]

Who is new Van Aert?

The steam train infront of the race

wierder imagine would be to see Philipsen taking some wind for the first time in his career.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

NBC doing a piece on Remco's 2020 crash now - it's a poignant reminder that riders are still fragile human beings doing dangerous stuff.

 

[AmRacer]

I believe in the breakaway.

 

[Savant12]

Still a long way to go.

 

[AmRacer]

It's a strong breakaway and the bunch doesn't seems to be interested.

 

[Norbea]

"The plow" just doing his Abracadabra. C´mon Jonas, you can do this!

 

[Potomac]

This could be a ride of biblical proportions today.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Still a long way to go.

Very long. But the gap is holding!

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Rooting for Abrahamsen, but it's still more than 90k to go, 6 minuntes is good, but it's not flat so we'll see.

Edit:
Why is Codifis pulling btw? For Coquard?

 

[Salvarani]

It's a strong breakaway and the bunch doesn't seems to be interested.

The peloton doesnt have the skill or tactical nous to deal with this type of guerilla warfare in this terrain.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Abrahamsen in Landis mode.

He is just soft pedaling at the moment. He got this.
