GREGOIRE!!! Monster.

Did he kill a cat too?

This is the first time I can remember seeing Peters since he won that Tour stage where Zakarin disappeared from existence on the descent.

Nans Peters on the prowl.

This is the first time I can remember seeing Peters since he won that Tour stage where Zakarin disappeared from existence on the descent.

I think he was in a break in Tour de Suisse last year, where he was pretty good. Or am i imagining things? EDIT: maybe it was Romandie.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Vai, Nans, vai!

Peters probably needs to slow down at some point to not destroy his record of winning only in Grand Tours.

 

[Salvarani]

What is the race situation looking like at the moment for those unable to watch?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

All the home countries are totally mixed up. Great job RAI!

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

RAI randomly assigning flags to riders.

 

[Berniece]

I have RAI player working with a free VPN on my smartphone, and casting (screen mirroring via google home) to my TV. The free VPN is only for smartphones it seems, and not all the servers are actually in Italy, lol, but if you try them all, some of them are.

tiz has it

RAI manages to show an eight-rider composition where at least one of first name, nationality or team is wrong for every single rider. Oh, and Nans Peters is now Finnish.

23 km left, Nans Peters out in front, chased by this group of 8 (about 40 seconds back):

�

1		16	ROTA Lorenzo
2		46	TESFATSION Natnael
3		52	GRÉGOIRE Romain
4		62	COSNEFROY Benoît
5		73	CEPEDA Jefferson Alexander
6		77	PICCOLO Andrea
7		81	CHAMPOUSSIN Clément
8		83	COSTIOU Ewen

Gap to the next group on the road is a bit uncertain atm.

Very wet conditions.

Edit: Nevermind, the chase group seems to have grown on the descent now.

Dutch FOK fanboys adopting Tesfatsion.

As everyone expected this morning, Peters and Costiou are the first two riders on the road.

 

[Samamba]

Covi crashed but he's now back in the chasing group. Impressive. He'll drop them all in a bit. Or Gregoire wins this.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Timed a gap of about 50 seconds, looking really good for Peters.

Edit: and up to a minute 2 minutes of descending later. He should pull this one off if he doesn't crack on the final climb.

 

[Squire]

A Peters win is not out of the question here. A rather big gap, he seems more comfortable on the wet descents, and he doesn't have to play any tactical games with anyone.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Peters really not descending that well. Cuts inside too soon, which has him go wide coming out of the turn.

 

[Samamba]

I think Peters has this. He finally came back from the death.

 

[Potomac]

He is holding steady over a minute

 

[Eyeballs Out]

AG2R are Jumboing this one

 

[Samamba]

Did not expect AG2R to be the dominant team today

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Covi could have won this had he not crashed.

 

[Salvarani]

Was Piccolo dropped?

 

[DNP-Old]

The French generation of '03 is so stacked.
