Sivakov sounded a bit unhappy there, quoting del Grosso's tweet from yesterday

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Voigt theorizing about the possibility that Groves could theoretically drop Brennan on this climb… Why does he think that Brennan is an explosive sprinter first and foremost when he clearly looked like a good climber yesterday???

 

[Red Rick]

Bonus sprint incoming?

 

[Didinho]

Bonus sprint incoming?

From the profile it seems at 69-70km to go. After the descent.

 

[Potomac]

Hugh Carthy had an OK season in 2023, but last year he was invisible.
And isn't looking so hot in this race.

 

[Didinho]

Roglic wants the seconds.

Ayuso takes it. Better timing.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Well that looked stupid, Roglič doesn‘t even leave the saddle

 

[Sciatic]

That was confusing. Roglic had a leadout but then ?

 

[danielzu]

Mulubrhan dropped, will he be able to come back?

 

[Didinho]

Looked like everybody mistimed the sprint or was looking out for their leader.

Ayuso entering top 5.

Mulubrhan dropped, will he be able to come back?

looked like a puncture to me, but the team cars were probably a good bit behind.

Henok is coming back now, DSM had basically the full team behind.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

The riders who were dropped on the climb have almost come back, but now the pace at the front is still high. There were no real splits in the wind.

 

[RedheadDane]

So... it was a Slovenian Bora riding getting the one second.



The "wrong" - in this context - Slovenian Bora rider.

 

[Sciatic]

Bit of a split in wind

 

[Dazed and Confused]

A bit of echelons...

Bit of a split in wind

those (mainly) are the guys dropped on the climb, not in the wind.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

I‘m still certain that the guys behind, Bittner, Vernon etc. are just the guys who were dropped on the climb and haven‘t come back considering UAE rode hard in the wind for maybe five seconds

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Surely Ethan haytor has made the front split on this stage which is perfectly suited for him?

 

[QueenStagiaire]

And… they‘ve come back

 

[Escarabajo]

I don't understand, they ride like maniacs to the foot of the climb and then slow down and pace on the climb. So what was the hurry?

 

[Netserk]

Tratnik sat up and allowed Ayuso the 3", but didn't manage to brake hard enough to allow Rogla 1". Lol.

 

[Unchained]

Super negative!! 10+ across the road!!ugly!! Attack already

 

[Unchained]

Is the race neutralized? 27 k to go parade lap?
