Onley and Gall caught out

 

[Samamba]

Wtf happened???? I came back from getting some food and peloton is destroyed?

Descend streched everything out and now we got this.

 

[Boehmand]

I don't see Onley's 4th place being under threat today, but Gall - on wet roads up and down all day - could very well be put under pressure by Uno-X, even if 3 minutes is a big gap.

 

[Rou]

Jonas should try a sneaky move instead of sucking wheels.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

O‘Connor also behind, but seems like nobody can or wants to press on

they don't seem to have enough guys in front either to push for 140k. Same for Arkea

 

[Red Rick]

Today reminds me why I hate flat starts to mountain stages.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Van den broeck attacking while Onley alone behind...

 

[Boehmand]

Decathlon and Picnic still attacking at the front, so clearly not too worried about Gall and Onley being behind.

 

[Salvarani]

Wellens is a beast

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Just bumped in on delayed signal
If my eyes read today's route correctly, the riders have two roundabouts within 350m from the finish line, the latter with 120m to go?
Yes I observe the roundabouts are "stretched out", taking turn the most appropriate way around - but it's not like the passages are highways.

I just hope for a huge breakaway, so that there will be no points for the bunch sprint at the finish line (+10 mins behind I reckon, without having watched anything yet).

 

[Boehmand]

This feels like watching a rainy version of Amstel.

 

[RedheadDane]

Yes, I need that nap apparently

But it was an answer to your question anyway. I think sub 100k.

Technically, the answer is yes.
The break will be established with more or less than 100 Ks to go.

 

[Red Rick]

Pogacar looked for a moment as if just wanted to go close Jorgenson again

 

[Danskebjerge]

Valgren is just glad to be here. He has absolutely nothing to offer if he isn't able to do something on break days. He hit one break on stage 15 and the only time you saw him was at the finish line, finishing 9th.

Yes - but there were optimistic vibes before the Tour, so it's definitely disappointing.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

This feels like watching a rainy version of Amstel.

Yup if the climbs were five times as tall and there were wider, straighter roads

 

[RobertCrawley]

Good morning chaps and chappettes!

It feels very Wouty today.

 

[Boehmand]

Jegat going - has anyone seen O'Connor?

 

[Boehmand]

After 2 days of moderate disappointments, this stage is a positive surprise

 

[Heston]

Jegat going - has anyone seen O'Connor?

Does O'Connor really care about defending 10th? Maybe his team cares about the UCI points but that should be it

 

[SafeBet]

Do we know where De Lie is?

He was leading the Peloton just now, now Schmid has to chase

 

[Red Rick]

Do we know where De Lie is?

Probably made it back to the gruppetto, he wasn't losing time to them once the gruppetto had formed and the time limit is gonna be huge.

 

[Heston]

Gr Jegat is back. I hope they call the peloton Gr Jegat tomorrow just to take the piss
