Bilbao now better wins the sprint

Did Superman drop through the peloton also?

Yes

Did Superman drop through the peloton also?

Yes I think so

Bilbao > motorbike.

Descending is an underrated skill. Am watching for pointers myself...

Sivakov really should work on his descending. Will cost them the win today

Storer is not much better tbf, remember him losing half his gap on the final descent on his second Vuelta stage win. Them losing time to Arensman too is telling.

Bilbao takes more time per km in descent than in climb, what a madman.

G2 is Bilbao, G3 is Bouchard I think. Don't see the leader's jersey in the favourites group anyway.

yes. Bouchard is a bad descender as well

 

[Mayomaniac]

And of course Sivakov looses time on a descent...

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Typically, bouchard dropped in the descent

Alright, thanks. Even the bookie was confused for a moment.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Dutch Eurosport has finally figured out Bouchard is not in the Bilbao group anymore.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Bouchard descends like a Brioche...

I'm afraid I have never seen a Brioche descend...

Groupama have the best U23 team in the world right now and it isn't close. About half a dozen riders who could make the step up by next year.

 

[roundabout]

I guess T-10 minutes or so to a Bilbao sprint win then

A Brioche is fluffy and light, so it's clearly the opposite of descending like a stone.

there really seems to be no competition left in the group. Valter maybe, if at all. Gall is alright, but spent all day in the break

Martinez is 52 kilos, according to FDJ. That is nuts.

Einer Rubio used to have a decent kick in the u23 ranks, he outsprinted Pogacar on a MTF in the Giro del Friuli. That said, a sprint uphill is different.

Although his father is tiny, too, and that didn't stop him

Fabbro is the same weight.
