Dennis has a bad attitude. Hope he enjoyed his time at Ineos.

How quickly people forget.

Rohan Dennis was pretty much the main reason TGH won the Giro last year.

My main concern is, that the kid will be swerving wildly during birth.

Come to think of it, that may be the best reason to choose a c-section!

My main concern is that a Slovenian baby might exit her womb first.

My main concern is that a Slovenian baby might exit her womb first.

That would be pretty awkward...

Richie on a TT bike is a surprise for me. But that's apparently a general Skyneos approach for this route.

"Oh, my beautiful son! - I shall call you Tadej Primuz Alaphilippe!"

 

[Leinster]

Have we seen any bike changes yet? Looks like the top GC riders are mostly on TT bikes from the start.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

That would be pretty awkward...

And even if it doesn't come out first, Ala's offspring would probably be relegated for deviating it's line. But since it's a two man sprint, it would still come second, so it's worth the risk.

Carapaz

what did they do to him...
that is one ugly suit

 

[Jungle Cycle]

Can Ala use the rainbow road bike?

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Cattaneo only 6 secconds off Mäder on the intermediate.

 

[Leinster]

Cattaneo for a chance of the stage?

 

[BlueRoads]

Can Ala use the rainbow road bike?

According to commentators not.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Cattaneo for a chance of the stage?

Carapaz and perhaps Schachmann will probably be hard to beat, but I think he has a shot considering Mäder's not so stellar descend.

Edit: Alaphilippe as well of course, if he isn't taking it easy. It would be weird if he did, but he just looked very slow and (too) calm at the start.

 

[BlueRoads]

I think Fuglsang will do an amazing time.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Pozzovivo! But please don't crash on your way down.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Go go Pozzovivo! Though he'll probably lose a bunch of time downhill.

 

[Bolder]

How quickly people forget.

Rohan Dennis was pretty much the main reason TGH won the Giro last year.

Yes he was! But he basically stopped pedaling 100 meters from the line just now, not a good look for himself or image-conscious Ineos.

 

[woodburn]

Pozzovivo?

 

[Velolover2]

POZZOWAGEN!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

POZZOWAGEN!

Pozzočar!

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Pozzovivo?

The bumblebee of cycling

 

[Velolover2]

Pozzočar!

Pozzollara. The new tempo machine.

My main concern is that a Slovenian baby might exit her womb first.

I want to get a photo of Dumoulin's immediate reaction to this.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Pozzo looks great on a TT bike - until he starts pedaling, with his knees sticking out
