How long can Odd Christian Eiking hold the red jersey for?

How long can Odd Christian Eiking hold the red jersey for?

I don't have faith that he can keep it off Even Athiest Loqueen for too long.

 

[Lequack]

Why don't we see pro cyclists with spectacles

 

[Descender]

I missed yesterday's stage but I assume it was boring because nothing ever happens in stages with descent finishes.

Someone attacked in the climb, made a gap and lost it in the descent. Guillén must be very upset about it.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Cycling bibs are also good for dancing

The one at the front must have gotten her moves from Roglič.

My mind did go: "now where's Descender when you need him" once yesterday

 

[search]

in the pre-stage interview, Roglic just basically said, that he wants to go for the win today.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Nobody can beat Roglic on such a ramp as Jaen, maybe Alaphilippe only.

I'll be wondering where Bavarianrider's at when there is a proper long ITT.

Well, if.

He was probably upset at Roglic's attack but he was relieved that at the end there were only diferencias mínimas!!

 

[Red Rick]

in the pre-stage interview, Roglic just basically said, that he wants to go for the win today.

They just asked and he said "why not ah?"?

They just asked and he said "why not ah?"?

of course

"Does that mean that you want to catch the breakaway today and play for the stage win?"

"Maybe, yeah. First of all... it depends, we need ot see what the situation is like. We don't want to kill ourself totally for today, but if I think we have a chance... why not, ah. We have to go for it."

Agree, but I'm still sad that a certain old man won't get a chance today..

 

[topcat]

Roglic to put it all on the line against Enric Mas (cough) and launch the 4th attack of his career from over one km out. I can be exciting too, you amateur experts.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Unfortunately, the best rider didnt win the race. I remember how pissed I was after Antón crashing out..

Oh my, time flies, already 11 years ago? Remember Antón's a tad downhill wide road with the peleton in sprint like position before the final climb.
And yes, he'd been the deserved winner by that year. It was like the crash sat limitations on his performance when recovered, though to a lesser extent than Beloki.
It still hurts my heart as well

 

[Red Rick]

Actually considering how well Matthews did on stage 6 TBE might actually wanna go for him today?

MVDP might win with an attack in the previous climb

 

[Samamba]

This should suit him way better than stage 6. They're already controlling the bunch. Only 5 guys in the break, and even tho one of them is Cort (thus super dangerous), this looks to be a bunch day today.

 

[roundabout]

31 riders yesterday and it seems 5 riders break today

yeah, ok. good luck at the finish for about 15 teams not in the break

 

[Red Rick]

NO NOT CORT AGAIN

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Cort versus BikeExchange again then?

 

[MrTea1976]

Burgos are making me smile today.

 

[Samamba]

Literally Spanish Flech Wallonne today then it looks like. Matthews or Bagioli for me, or yk Roglic...

 

[Lequack]

Madrazo angry at the road blocking, the big WT teams just laughing.
