Race has started, a lot of riders fighting to get in the breakaway before the first hill starts

Is there a live stream?

only just now realised that you can pick english commentary

It's on of these stage profiles a break can win cause the last part is downhill. I don't see a lot of teams helping Lidl either.

Some good engines in the break too, won't be easy for the peloton.

Looks like Ineos may help out Lidl Trek

 

[Potomac]

I love Jose's geological jabber

 

[Samamba]

Yeah they wont be easy to catch as expected. If they still have over a 1'30 when the downhill part start I'm not sure if they really can make up that much terrain. Of course it helps that it's wide roads.

What's the chances that Dainese can win the stage today?

 

[Samamba]

EF and Picnic are the last WT teams who don't have a win this season, both in the break.

Apparently Knox is dropped, nvm.

 

[Samamba]

Lidl need to use Gee now.

UNO X helping.

Surprised Ineos doesn't work with more guys. Completely useless in this UAE Tour if they aren't going to ride for Welsford.

 

[Netserk]

generous geesus

 

[Samamba]

Milesi is dead. Basically only 3 guys riding in front group

 

[Tim Cahill]

Quite a decent break, they will bring it back but hopefully it means tired doms and room for an attack.

 

[Samamba]

Modern Adventure WT win, imagine

Looks like the peloton realized just in time tho.

 

[Samamba]

How do you crash here man

not looking good for Hayter and Ghys

Another Decathlon transfer out

 

[Samamba]

Front group looks dead

Downhill now tho, and peloton not making up as much ground anymore.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Decathlon probably wishing they kept some of those miscellaneous French puncheurs

 

[Samamba]

Well that's a wide road

 

[Netserk]

good guy gee needs to return to the front!

 

[Squire]

Commentators talking as if this is a guaranteed sprint. They gotta catch those guys first.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Staying towards the back does seem to be in vogue, I suppose with roads so wide with 5k to go its a bit pointless to fight so much for position when you can just use 1 guy to easily move up outside later on.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Great effort from the break

 

[Netserk]

wow

he looked so bad yesterday that i didnt think he could deliver today

 

[Squire]

Double Milan podium? Vernon 2nd I think.
