crash fest

Poor Sep, always unlucky.

Bizarre breakaway action today.

Bizarre breakaway action today.

I don't think it's that weird. The typical flat run up breakaway with 90% knowing they can't win on a finish like this so they all try to attack before the climb.

Flat my azz. They're riding big cogs when the road goes up.

I'm only watching with half an eye, but what I'm sensing is the impact of the weird crashes and how disorderly it is.

The first 80k where breakaways usually gets formed were flat. Obviously that's what I mean.

 

[roundabout]

That's an interesting circuit. Shame it's a bit wasted on the stage like today and with relative team strengths being as they are

 

[Pirazziattacks]

In case the breakaway action hadn't been weird enough already, Vine's reappeared. What the???

 

[Savant12]

Jay Divine inspiration at play.

 

[ppanther92]

Looks slow as ***, both, in the break and the peloton...

 

[Tim Cahill]

Are the lads on strike today or something

 

[SafeBet]

I'm kinda impressed the peloton keeps bleeding time to such a WTF break.

 

[Breezy1985]

Vanmarcke makes the mistake of descending next to Navarro

Looked like Navarro was trying to launch off the side of the mountain to get down quicker

 

[Sciatic]

Peloton not on the climb yet, they are still on the little climb into the town.

 

[Salvarani]

Prodhomme not gonna make it

 

[Netserk]

I think the peloton will ride the final climb slower than Zeits until the breakaway has won the stage.

 

[ppanther92]

Finally Bardet launching

 

[Salvarani]

Go Jay Vine

 

[Mayomaniac]

I'm kinda impressed the peloton keeps bleeding time to such a WTF break.

Yeah, tomorrow we have many climbs, but pretty much all 5% stuff, so it's not like anyone should be too scared to make the race hard today.

 

[ppanther92]

Bardet not convincing at all

 

[roundabout]

it's so strange to see a majorly crashed Vine and Pidcock who looked to be struggling on at least a couple of uphills to be there with Bardet at this point

 

[Netserk]

Lol, Pidcock.

 

[Bonimenier]

lmao Pidcock

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Pidders ftw
