Tour of Britain 2024, September 3-8

[SafeBet]

Great racing now with QS vs Ineos.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ineos backed the wrong horse, they should've gone with a Turner/Foss danger-duo because Piddler looks rubbish.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

He is grimacing hard. I reckon it's for Alain Philippe today.

But Alaf already trailing 12s in GC. If Pidcock makes it back, they aren't winning GC.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Really do think Israel are the danger for QS here rather than Ineos

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Tactical failure from Uno-X to send Dalby and not Hoelgaard or Abrahamsen in the attack before that hill? They shouldve known they arent punchy enough to go with Remco on such a hill.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Ineos messed with the bull and got the horns.

 

[Jagartrott]

Evenepoel nicely cooked the trio behind.

 

[Didinho]

You don’t want to be Pidcock now. Quickstep making sure he won’t come back. Remco en Gil doing most of the damage. Looks like Julian will go for the stage win if Remco is not superior with all the work.

 

[Snake]

Pidcock was about to close the gap but every time remco take the front of the group the gap increase lmao

 

[Squire]

But Alaf already trailing 12s in GC. If Pidcock makes it back, they aren't winning GC.

Don't think he is making it back. Question is who among the front group can acquire the most bonus seconds today and over the coming days. Unless there are fireworks tomorrow as well.

 

[Samamba]

Ineos won't top 10 their home stage race. What happened to this team

 

[Ricco']

Pidcock looks in for a good period of rest and recovery. Constant yo-yoing between disciplines makes less and less sense as time goes by and with this kind of shape, it's bollocks if he still goes to Canada as planned.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

QS need to be putting at least half a minute into Vernon in the remainder of the stage, if not bonus seconds will be a huge problem for them.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Just use Gil now and Evenepoel in an attacking role, they are overestimating the guys behind a bit I think.

 

[Samamba]

Remco will be solo in a bit, Onley to follow the longest.

 

[Didinho]

Remco angry with half the peloton. Cycling is back.

 

[Potomac]

Bickmore has this

 

[Samamba]

2nd time this year UNO X guy crashes out someone like this.

 

[Berniece]

Remco just needs to keep going hard on every hill, and eventually they'll drop

 

[Didinho]

2nd time this year UNO X guy crashes out someone like this.

Are the rules different here in Britain because they ride left so have to change at the left side?
When you’re not used to this you don’t expect someone to stand still at the left side.

 

[Axel Hangleck]

Pidcock looks in for a good period of rest and recovery. Constant yo-yoing between disciplines makes less and less sense as time goes by and with this kind of shape, it's bollocks if he still goes to Canada as planned.

He didn't look great on Sunday; made a poor start from the front row, to about 20th, then laboured on the climbs and struggled to make ground up, when you'd expect him to.

He looks like he needs rest.

I reckon same rules apply in UCI races.

Could be, but would be weird. But even then, Ressel (I think it was) could've been way more careful there.

No i thought it was left side in UK

 

[Didinho]

I reckon same rules apply in UCI races.

Yeah I would reckon. But it felt weird to see someone stop at the left side. If im not mistaken it’s always been the right side?
