Both? Johnny is Almeida no?

juan is johnny
joao is jojo

 

[ppanther92]

And I mean, its clear that Gall will use minutes here due to his bad positioning. I still think such a stage has very much a place, even though I root for Gall.

 

[TrekCyclist]

Entertaining - yes. But for me this has no place in a TDF.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Why is the Roglic group not closing this quicker? Main GC group seems to been chilling for the last 10 minutes when everyone has time to talk to each other.

but really Almeida old nick was Johnny! On Facebook or something.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Are there seriously people who would take a ninth sprint stage over this?

 

[Slavique Nuke]

If anything Pidcock should be dropping back later in the stage.

Pidcock has made it clear that he won't help anyone, I trust him as much as I trust Ayuso

 

[Samamba]

It's coming back together

Apparently they have 28km. madness, and we don't get any shots to see who is pulling. They are in strife if they don't close this quickly

Bora on the radio message didn't sound panicky.

28 kms to catch up.

 

[Froome]

Ineos and Emirates have riders to help Visma pushing in the head of the peloton. They have a great opportunity to eliminate Roglic.

 

[Le Grand Doop]

wonder if the other three will regret not burying Ron in this first week.

 

[Eclipse]

GC group will stall.

Yeah. Artificial gap in the first place, not much incentive to keep pushing.

 

[Miha81]

This will come together. But still long way to go.

 

[Brullnux]

I really don't get the complaints.

 

[ice&fire]

There are people whose permanent state of mind is one of complaint

 

[noob]

Almeida is old mtb cyclist, I don't understand why people would worry about him today

 

[Peyroteo94]

I told you. Vingegaard doesn't care about Roglic. It is all about Pogacar. Only one guy working

 

[Valv.Piti]

Quite bad coverage honestly

It's more about positioning on the tarmac before the gravel.

 

[dazaau]

Gee man, using jai to close the gap is wild. It better not happen again or roglic is screwed (if he isn't already).

 

[noob]

It's more about positioning on the tarmac before the gravel.

That would make more sense yes. I assume he's helped by being domestique in this case, weirdly!

 

[RobertCrawley]

I really don't get the complaints.

I tried to keep an open mind until I saw guys stopped with their hands on their hips at a narrow gravel road opening and guys running with their bikes up the hill short hill.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Rogla saved by Ayuso, the true UAE leader!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Moscon has quietly turned up to this race in great form, he was there for ages on Galibier the other day too.
