I think Eiking is back already

temporary

 

[Lequack]

Jay Vine will surely win this stage.

 

[JosefK]

Roglic with a mechanical?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Roglic right at the back with his teammates pacing up front...

I think Jumbo slowed it down for Roglic to come back.

 

[BlueRoads]

Now that they are showing Dennis and Roglic together I remember... wasn't there something with Roglic photobombing Dennis's worlds' tt win...?

Biological, I think

[Netserk]

I think it makes good sense for Jumbo to reel in the break as much as they can (with their heavier riders) before the climb.

 

[BlueRoads]

The Australian riders are always so incredibly relaxed and open...

Okay, obviously always is a complete exaggeration. But so often.

 

[JosefK]

The rain is throwing a wet blanket on the race, right now.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Landa back in chains.

 

[Netserk]

Splits in the peloton.

 

[broppo]

why was jumbo riding? they should have just elt that group go, they are inducing more chaos now.....

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Over... 45 km/h... average speed?

The opposite. Now there's no one to bridge up to, so attacks are less likely on the next climb.

 

[Gargamel35]

I can't watch. Any Roglič rain jacket incident?

 

[DoYouEvenRideBruh]

Tiz for some reason is having English/Italian double audio. I've never been more confused during a cycling stage in my life.

 

[BlueRoads]

No. He's fine.

making it a very hard race is not in their favour i think, that is what ineos and movistar wants.

The tempo in the valley (especially the first part that was mostly descending) is not what makes the stage hard. And if it's in anyone favour, it's in Rogla's.

 

[dgodave]

Its really mean to make them race in the rain.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Kudos to the riders; if this was F1 we wouldn't have a race....

 

[gregrowlerson]

Would be surprised if some of the main contenders don't lose significant time today, what with the infernal pace and inclement weather.
