It will be interesting to see on who takes the initiative today, UAE or Red Bull.

Definitely UAE, and I'm not sure Roglic is in the right shape to contest Ayuso at the moment

Vernon looked a bit surprised about his podium gift...

...not aware of the full picture, I guess

..

That's a monument.

I agree that likely today it's UAE that should make the move, as for Red Bull there are better stages to come for that. Strength vice likely UAE could be considered as a team with more options on this race, still, when it comes to team leaders i feel that Rogla will make the difference, due to better overall individual quality. There is still more then 40 days till Giro but i feel that the form is raising and the level should suffice for Catalunya. Starting today, this race should prove to be a nice benchmark towards the season main goals.

Really looking forward to see what Bernal can do. It's his first race back from injury, of course, but he looked fantastic before, and apparently only lost a couple of days of training.

His injury wasn't bad. Doubt he lost any form. He was riding outside again not even a week after his "fracture". So he should be good.

Journo: Will you be in it for the win today?

Roglic: Uh, I did Algarve this year but I didn't win anything yet, not even a bonus sprint, far from it. It'll be hard, uh.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Jens Voigt: This is the longest stage of the day, but also one of the longest stages of the year.



Is the stage too long for junior race length Primoz?

 

[tobydawq]

Jesus, Simmons looks idiotic...

Honestly he should be getting a yellow card for damaging the image of the sport by looking like that.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ethan Hayter looking good at the front, looking prominent, he's heard the critics on cyclingnews forum no doubt.

I enjoyed his interview. He seemed in a good mood.

Van Eetvelt really loves taking wind early on for no reason.

He was eager to get to the team bus and avoid Dali-ing on the podium

How much extra drag does Simmons have to take with that hair?

Make it more of a Mullet/Hockey haircut and it's actually more aero, like having a spoiler on the neck.

Simmons kinda looks like all the drunkers from the late 80's, early 90's in american bars they often show in the movies.

I wonder if they can get a beer sponsor for his team. Maybe Pabst Blue Ribbon?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

This is a terrible pace

 

[Monsi]

Break might have a chance here. Don't know what UAE's plan is.

Like from a porn movie?

 

[Escarabajo]

Oh my.., they are going so slow!

Bluffing?

 

[Sciatic]

Yeah, when it's this slow we don't even get to see riders getting spit out the back and the, I assume for some riders, embarrassing closeups of them as they struggle.

 

[Monsi]

Bluffing?

Well they finally sent a guy to the front.
