Remco showing how not to race gravel

 

[Penninepeddler]

Respect to Girmay, still there very nicely in position

Riding back home through Leuven town center on all those cobbles after a tipple is great training for bike handling ahaha.

Another Visma gravel hill attack

 

[Eclipse]

Even if we end with no GC gaps, it has already been a very spectacular stage.

The choice of first sector was very good. Bit artificial but manufactured a situation to race the rest of the day.

 

[Netserk]

Philipsen had a bike change earlier. Is he still in the peloton? If so, Van der Poel will be chained.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Well, if you'd told me Evenepoel was going to choke Van Aert in a gravel stage before the Tour...

 

[Salvarani]

Remco looks tired now.

MVDP will likely attack, I reckon. Only a minute. He can win the stage. Pog could follow him.

 

[Tim Cahill]

UAE team absent again but this isn't the terrain where Vingegaard can make a difference. No real hills left.

I love how Remco goes from supreme confidence, best legs in the race, to headless chicken struggling in the wheel of Girmay.

 

[pelotonIQ]

Lefevere, time to start spending money on domestiques.

 

[AmRacer]

What a boring stage 😂

He should really keep his cool a bit more. Nothing happened. Chill dude, you are strong enough to easily come back.

 

[Netserk]

Worst is over now. Break will take the stage win. Go, Stuyven!

 

[Didinho]

Remco went from looking insanely strong to struggling. Hope it’s not a puncture. Or if he has a crash.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

If Girmay et al want the stage, they need to stop letting the GC teams keep slowing things down between sectors ASAP.

Girmay doesn't have a teammate... Neither has someone like Van der Poel I think.

Think break wins.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Random Vlasov crash

 

[noob]

Commentators speculating about how Tratnik bike probably was set up for Jonas today on purpose if something happened to Jonas

 

[Didinho]

Auwtch Vlasov.

Just staying in front to stay safe. But maybe WVA decides to launch.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Bora rider in the ditch, for *** sake not Roglic

Vlasov

 

[Netserk]

Poor Vlasov.

I'm glad that wasn't Rogla.

 

[dazaau]

My heart. For sure I thought roglic

 

[Tim Cahill]

No he's ****ed, shouldn't be back on the bike
