Lack of coverage is annoying as this sounds fun

Can't wait for the 30 minutes of *** intro when the coverage finally starts.

 

[SafeBet]

Seems like a 30 riders breakway has gone clear and the peloton is sitting up.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Guillaume Martin making that break was written in stone. Unfortunately he's the only minor GC threat in the group.

and now the coverage will start ...
Hopefully in time for the bathroom break.

Oh look it's time to give the jersey away again.

 

[Rackham]

Hilarious stuff.

It's been non-stop full gas action from the start & now with the Eurosport coverage just about to start, it's all over.

Sometimes the action you get to imagine will be a lot better than what was actually going on.

 

[SafeBet]

For all the Team Classification aficionados, neither Bahrain nor Movistar have a man in the break.

Eiking is the closest in GC.

With Eiking there, too, then the peloton will at least have to ride 30 seconds faster

There are a lot of strong riders in the group, so the fight for the stage win should be interesting.

Movistar or Bahrain to blink first and chase?

+Bagioli & Cort

 

[sir fly]

We're getting a classic, then.

Wonder if the pelotons behind will merge now.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Movistar or Bahrain to blink first and chase?

If Movistar chase it would be the first interest they've shown in any team classification this year - not a sniff in the Giro or Tour. It would also be silly in this case because they have two genuine podium chances and only four remaining doms

 

[will-10]

Bet the first hour was fun.

 

[ice&fire]

Checked the route on Google Earth and I see we got live images just after they got out of the sea of plastic greenhouses. They clearly wanted to keep the landscape police at bay.

One would think there's no need for greenhouses down there...

 

[Oliver]

Nice group! Bagioli for the win? Or maybe Aranburu if it's a sprint?

 

[will-10]

Gonna be a nice final. That climb looks plenty hard enough that we're gonna see guys anticipate beforehand.

 

[Lequack]

Clearly Schachmann will win this stage.

Plastic helps increasing humidity levels in a dry climate

Anybody who wants to win this stage needs to drop Aranburu for good on the climb. Descent and sprint are in his favor (unless Trentin has his 2017 legs, but doesn't seem likely).
