Serious questions about QS tactics here

 

[Tim Cahill]

Louis Sutton looking good, his ride on stage 5 of Avenir was immense

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Tom Donnenwirth is very good.

Serious questions about QS tactics here

Alaphilippe not paying attention, not good enough, nobody wanted to work with him, or he plays the "Remco is behind so I don't have to work"-card. Which resulted in front group slowing down, which gave the possibility for Israel to attack.

Evenepoel/Gelders don't know this, so they just try to stop any attack going to the front group.

Do they not have earpieces?

I have no idea what they have been doing the last 20km, basically sacrificing Remco, gifing it all to Israel who just sat back.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Williams was unable to pull through after Blackmore's short attack, he should be the one working.

 

[Tim Cahill]

What the *** is that moron Jake Stewart doing

 

[Squire]

Remco pulling a durable sprinter up to the front might not be the greatest move.

 

[Tim Cahill]

That's better just sit on Jake

Perfection.

They do, but not sure if everyone uses it effectively all the time. The sacrificing of Remco is his own choice I think. He isn't the sole leader here, so he also puts in the work.

Of course it is. Alaphilippe is already behind a bit on GC and was against 2 strong Israel riders already, 2 who are probably even faster than him.

He isn't the sole leader here, so he also puts in the work.

Not really an excuse for bad tactics of course. Never smart to just keep riding with very strong riders from another team in your wheel. Anyways, good that he realized the problem and he jumped to the front. Still not a great situation, but better than before.

Typical ad break 🙄

He might overestimate himself, or you might underestimate him. I still expect him to drop everyone, although not much time anymore. Next hill is the one to try it on

Or he gets dropped and I'm completely wrong

 

[Samamba]

Remco just wasted way too much energy for someone who's not in top form

 

[Tim Cahill]

That's never Jake Stewart there getting immediately dropped!

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Ever since the broadcast started nothing suggested to me Remco would be challenging for a win here. He's been grimacing all over the place, doing just about all the work after Lythe Bank.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Remco dropped too, go on Oscar

 

[Samamba]

LOL

WHAT IS ISRAEL DOING

 

[Squire]

LOL, Remco just doesn't give a damn.

 

[Samamba]

Allright Williams closing it down

 

[Didinho]

Lol Remco. Toying.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Playing the role of Marc Soler today will be Remco Evenepoel
