just a nice steady pace for the Peloton

This is a breakaway stage for sure

 

[Tim Cahill]

"What the F*** are you doing!"

Fantastic from the young man, love stuff like this

 

[Big Doopie]

Hopefully we r allowed to see some of the GC race.

Sorry mate I guess when others post about him I get too drawn into the discussions.

I'm just evaluating the team tactics, I don't know why there would be any kind of conspiracy against Italians (?) Or what that has to do with anything. Quickstep have put fausto too far down the hierarchy many time, he doesn't have a lot of racedays or opportunities, he has also bad luck, so they don't see what a talent he is. Cycling is not only numbers

But I can talk less on fausto if people want

I guess the point is that he’s down the hierarchy because of his performance. He’s just not as good as the other riders in that role, and as such it’s not worthy of endless commentary.

Unless there’s another reason they put him “too far down the hierarchy”? I don’t think QS are a team that evaluates talent only by the numbers. They ride to win.

Narrow roads ahead, better be in front QS

This descent is scary. Hart crashed

 

[Tim Cahill]

Mario Kart levels of technical descent, hope nobody comes to grief

Tao down

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Tao and Harper down!

 

[Sciatic]

Putting the hammer down before the climb.

 

[Didinho]

Radio said also something about Roglic, but only saw Harper

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Jimmy Janssens winning a MTF would be the most Vuelta breakaway thing ever...

 

[RedheadDane]

Radio said also something about Roglic, but only saw Harper

Jonas Vingegaard is not Chris Harper, and Chris Harper is not Primoz Roglic.
I don't know who Primoz Roglic not is.

 

[Didinho]

QS with the Jumbo tactic

 

[Tim Cahill]

Battistella looks alright to be fair, think he's hanging him out in front

 

[Big Doopie]

Lou Lou! Awesome!!

 

[Didinho]

4 left, love it

 

[Sciatic]

Wish they did a split screen so we could follow the GC grp the entire way up

Ed. So much for a GC “group”

 

[Didinho]

Remcoo choo choo

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Didn't even see the Ayuso attack, christ.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

3km to go for the leaders.

 

[RedheadDane]

A wild Meintjes has appeared near the front.

 

[KZD]

Meintjes is amazing

 

[Didinho]

CHOOO CHOOO
