Come on lipo 30s

Yes, he should drop back and secure white

 

[No Excuses]

No Lipo almost a minute

 

[ontheroad]

Galls descending has improved considerably. Lipo very tentative.

German broadcast getting slowly depressed realizing that Lipowitz is caught in no mens land, wasting energy and shipping time.
Scenes in the German media if Roglic takes third here today

 

[how yes no?]

This moto before first group is comical.

 

[Boehmand]

Lipowitz needs some descending training

Roglič had his share of disasters on Tour and ih he rides himself 3rd at the end, kudos to him. Lipo's time is coming.

 

[geisterhome]

Roglic will collapse on the last climb, Lipowitz might as well lol

 

[noob]

I can't make tiz work so listening to cycling dane live comments 🤣

Only started ti watch when I saw Roglič in the break

Crafty old roglic pulls a Hinault on lipo

Climber Jakob Fuglsang now lecturing grupetto watt-monster Lars Bak on how to descend on Danish TV...

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Arensman and Lipo should find themselves in on the flat, and all will be more or less fine for Lipo i think.

Cannot believe I'm agreeing with Jens Voigt about something but I think Lipowitz should perhaps drop back to the Onley group. This looks like a sunk cost fallacy waiting to happen

Ok, but he has 1‘30“ on a group where only two riders, Onley and Johannessen are riding. It‘s not like there‘s a Peloton chasing.

 

[Gargamel35]

Roglič is way better in 3rd week then Lipowitz anyway.

Shouldn't be a problem to ride to Arensman. Also I don't think Jorgensen should go all out in the valley. Onley is 1:40 back and Onley and Johannesen have to pull the whole valley alone. So sharing the work with Arensman is better than dropping back.

Very interesting dynamic with Bora. The way Lipo is leaking time on this descent Roglic could be getting close to him on virtual GC and he will have the benefit of riding in the draft in the valley.

Yes, it is quite fun to listen to Bengsch or however his name is spelled. First, Rogla's move was good tactically, then he pronounced that he definitely attacked his teammate . Fair play to Lipo but it is what it is. He could not hold on to Virgo's attack and so it goes.

Lipo is the new Remco

That Antwerpes interview right now, pure delusion. He is talking about lipo attacking the pog and vinge. Dude, he is in no man's land

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Yeah, there's no way he should wait. Good move to be in the front group in the first place and as a team you have to play these cards. Sucks for Lipo but that's the game.

Pogačar complaining about a bike race taking place.

 

[dgodave]

Snakey mountain road.

 

[Gargamel35]

I'm afraid Roglič can crash Pog. He rides so close to him.

The UAE riders might be chasing

25 kilometers more of descending?
