Anybody know why De Marchi abandoned??

Suggesting RhD would have something with a married man?

Suggesting RhD would have something with a married man?

New study shows 100% of married women are involved with at least one married man.

He was intimidated by Masnada's presence.

Fausto is a gracious guy, always smiling and very popular in the peloton.

Echelons

 

[Samamba]

Interesting. Seems like some leaders have their whole team in the first group to pull

 

[Ilmaestro99]

...and not married.

Hard to believe

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Why is Quickstep not in the first echelon with Fausto?

 

[ExperienPT]

Who is that guy Fausto? Being following pro cycling for a few years now and never heard of him, but it seems He is really good by your comments!

 

[Samamba]

If the timings are correct on PCS liveticket there's definitely some big teams not in the first group as the 2nd group looks to be closing the gap.

EDIT: wait nvm, a whole minute now? Cant be correct. Yates and Woods doing a ridiculously good job now. There must be more guys in the first group?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

...and not married.

Ilmaestro99 should give RhD his number then.

 

[Samamba]

So 25 riders with Yates and Woods having their whole team there have a minute gap on the bunch.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Seems like all the names and teams you'd expect to make the front echelon have been caught out...

 

[tobydawq]

Skjelmose once again making the first split. Very impressive, he really is the Danish Quintana.

 

[SafeBet]

Wasn't this supposed to be a terrible route with nothing happening day after day? I just woke up and the race is in pieces.

 

[Salvarani]

Woods and Yates made the selection in the echelons?! With their whole teams to pull the front group?! What type of epic stage am I missing?!

Seems like Israel and BikeExchange were the only teams aware of crosswinds today. Peloton will probably make it back though, gap back within half a minute now.

 

[Samamba]

Bunch split in the descent.

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

motorbike helping to bring this back for Valverde?

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Gruppo Compatto

 

[Devil's Elbow]

All back together, minus Caicedo and a few counterattackers. Will be some tired legs though, definitely another opportunity to tighten the screw again if enough teams feel like it.

 

[JosefK]

Stage was exceeding expectations for entertainment.

 

[sir fly]

S. Yates finally took off his jacket.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Do my ears deceive me or did Kirby just accuse McEwen of talking about nothing else than Hindley when he's racing?

 

[Samamba]

Who thought of this finish? This is not made with a bunchsprint in mind
