[Devil's Elbow]

Didn't even need an attack or a crash to shed well over half the peloton.

Didn't even need an attack or a crash to shed well over half the peloton.

It seemed like there was some kind of incident earlier that stretched out the peloton, so that might have zapped energy from some riders before the climb.

Vollering looks to be a designated helper today.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Val de Clos now, this should rip this race apart.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This is putting the clouds into dust clouds.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Crashes on overly rough bits of gravel count - 1. Low speed there, thankfully.

 

[dgodave]

Im gravel skeptical for road racing. Seem like too much random crash / puncture risk for too little viewer reward. Not sure yet tho.

Plus they have to breath that dust.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This sector is much rougher than the previous two...

 

[Sciatic]

Surprised the entire peloton doesn’t get flats through this sector with such loose, jagged gravel

 

[Devil's Elbow]

And there we have it. FDJ are having all the bad luck this race...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Garcia on Vingegaard's bike.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Incredible calmness from Cecile and her teammate to get that wheel change done within a minute and to get back on.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Niewiadoma puncture.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Niewiadoma puncture.

back in

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Kasia once again having to waste energy bridging on a climb, so unlucky

 

[Devil's Elbow]

These front groups love nothing more than knocking off the pace after the gravel sections so it all comes back together. That's three for three.

Was wondering about that . . . What’s the point of going hard on the gravel sectors then?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

These final two sectors really do not belong in a road race.

Also, how much worse can this get for Garcia?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

A bit of carnage now.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Do they realize they dropped AVV?

 

[glassmoon]

some nice cleavage out there

 

[TourOfSardinia]

puncture fest

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Do they realize they dropped AVV?

She punctured.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Do they realize they dropped AVV?

Yes, that's why they're doing the same as when AVV dropped yesterday.

 

[saunaking]

this gravel is insane too much
