Headwind

 

[RedheadDane]

I will admit; I was just expecting Vine to be DNF.

 

[ppanther92]

I am so confused by this stage. They all look like the riders in PCM when they have ran out of their green bar...

 

[burning]

Not gonna lie, I am actually enjoying this track stand world championship race.

 

[Andy262]

Super impressed with Jay Vine.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

If Vine win this, he'll have to thank that team car named Desire, cause I doubt he made it back all on his own.

 

[Samamba]

Holmes with another flat tire, that's unlucky

Vine winning this would be something else

 

[RedheadDane]

I Vine win this, he'll have to thank that team car named Desire, cause I doubt he made it back all on his own.

Him and his team were clearly trying to apply the Madrazo Method.

 

[Netserk]

Surely Zeits will soon catch Prodhomme?

 

[roundabout]

Zeits will win if they don't get a move on in G3

 

[Samu Cuenca]

NP is doing NP things here on a day where the "real" NP abandoned the Deutschland Tour.

 

[Sciatic]

Movistar finally and . . . Commercial

 

[Samamba]

Are they just gonna let Prodhomme or Zeits win or what is this?

 

[Samamba]

Finally Bardet

 

[ppanther92]

Astou ding that Bardet struggles so much. Shouldn't he distance everyone in this group by minutes on a climb like this?

hes washed up

 

[SafeBet]

That's the hardest part of the climb right?

Who's the "real" NP? I would think Nils Politt...

 

[burning]

Bardet is still somehow the favorite to win this stage, he's closing the gap very rapidly

 

[ppanther92]

hes washed up

Yes, seems like it. But still now caught them fast. So maybe he put on a show.

 

[roundabout]

Ok, Bardet actually got across pretty quickly here

 

[Salvarani]

DSM having a great Vuelta.

 

[Bonimenier]

C'mon Vine!

 

[ppanther92]

Ok, now it looks easy. Maybe he knew that all along and just wanted to look weak to not be forced to do all the work.

 

[roundabout]

That's the hardest part of the climb right?

Yeah, but there should be one more similar but slightly easier pitch left
