Is he the leader of the beer classification?

Good result for Leclerf as well.

Overall classification after stage 3

 

[Scarponi]

About 5 minutes for the break

Probably Going to sound a bit insensitive but those roads are really nice,
Didn’t know what to expect

I would love a real broadcast. I'm tired of watching desert.

Hopefully there will be live coverage from the Mur de Kigali.

Hopefully there will be live coverage from the Mur de Kigali.

I read on Twitter that stage 8, the final stage, should be broadcast live. So apparently only the first and last stages. But we should see Mur de Kigali at least
It's only 77km so it should be exciting.

The roads are all reasonably new - built by the chinese. The last stage should have some more off-roady bits so i hope no-ones getting excited for a froome show.

Putting a name out there: Reinderink. One to watch

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

And cobbles on le mur

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

There's action in the final today. Total Energies with Bonnet and Vercher have gone solo with 10k to go, according to the twitter. They have 40s with 5km to go. Bonnet could be in yellow at the end.

 

[Lequack]

I wish we had proper coverage just to see these amazing crowds

Two riders have gone solo?

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Anything can happen down in Africa.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Bonnet takes the win! Ahead of Stewart and Vercher.
Wonder how far back Mulubrhan was?

Overall after stage 4

 

[Izzyeviel]

Chris Froome within striking range...

I cannot wait for the worlds in 2025. Whole place looks great.

 

[Kaptain Kool]

The Stage 1 live coverage looked a lot better than from what I remember in previous years. Of course, it was an easier stage to cover with not much going on. Hopefully, Stage 8 will also be improved.

He’s gonna have to switch his nationality back to Kenyan if he wants to qualify.

Makes sense if it’s the Chinese turn your power off loan system

 

[Scarponi]

Better then country Australia lol

I think the stage was hard, but quite surprising not to be more selective and to have Vernon there..maybe becouse he took some relax the day before, and the last real climb was quite far.
Tomorrow and the day after are the most selective stages IMO.

Hope Froome was there ok. Yesterday it was reaining, but I hoped a little bit better for him. Goldtein travelled to Rwanda but finally I think the team change plans with him. It is a pity he is just with 3 team mates, but I hope the team work for him anyway.

I know Victor dela Parte, Bizcarra...they are good riders...I think eritreans as well...I dont have a favourite, but someone specially strong at that altitude can go solo and take lot of time next stages. It is a pity Hagen had to left...he was one of the favourites.

 

[Anderis]

Vernal

 

[Taxus4a]

I didnt Know Froome attacked today at the end, Trying to get a video, That is good news. He is usually in the head of the group...I am nor sure why his team works...
