They called lefevere after he got dropped......
No need to hide anything anymore when you already got dropped.
Just seen his pre start interview he was pefectly fine as lefevere said.

Makes no sense.

I dont believe you but lets say you are dropped by 20 seconds in the beginning of a race ''yeah, lets spill the beans to the world about your illness''

Commentators asking themself what do you reckon JV is gonna do now. Haven't they done enough already? Geez.

Sky/Blue train it from the foot of the Tourmalet!

What is going on?
Checked the live update before leaving work to see that Evenepoel was slightly behind the peloton.
Now... six minutes!

It's over you missed it. Kuss won.

Hard to say. Too early for a hunger knock.

 

[HelloDolly]

Almeida is clocked at 1:30. Riding with Attila Valter

Thats not too bad ...still in it

 

[SafeBet]

Seems like yesterday Almeida was dropped and he's been likely chasing on his won the whole time. Absolutely stunning that he's only 1'30" behind. He's just built different.

 

[gunara]

Just tuned in, crazy work. Guys....where is Remco? Where did he drop?

Not with over 20 minutes of valley up next.

Consensus is that he's either sick or the worst GT winner ever.

A bad day is always possible of course. I don't think he's a natural talent for these kind of super hard, climbing all day stages, so then a bad day is especially harmful.

 

[AmRacer]

Why should Landa babysit Mr. Excuse?

 

[CyclistAbi]

Even the speedometer on the motorcycle is mostly yellow.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Low-key inspirational ride from Almeida, must take a lot of mental strength to not just pull the pin.

 

[johnymax]

Almeida will probably still do a top10 today.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Martínez just barely came back on the descent.

Stages with one big climb have never been the issue though, so to get dropped on the first big climb tells us it isn't just a bad day. Even when his form was *** in Suisse he was going way better on the La Punt stage, which was harder.

As Portuguese I must say I'm incredible proud of him. His mental strength is unique.

I dont know if you are trolling but you always make up a story in your head and reply as if I'm the one that made it. You never follow the thread of replies and then you reply with a comment that has nothing to do with the main topic.

 

[ManicJack]

Ayuso and Soler still in for a chance to disrupt the triplets of Jumbo. Hope there is still a race for the podium.

 

[noob]

Jumbo having Valter with Almeida is just trolling!

definitely! Such a Jumbo thing to do!

 

[ice&fire]

Just tuned in, crazy work. Guys....where is Remco? Where did he drop?

Before Gourette

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Martínez just barely came back on the descent.

Saved his GC hopes. With his rouleur skills, he would have lost at least 2 minutes in the valley.

 

[carolina]

A shame Almeida isn't a great descender. He could be back already.

 

[SafeBet]

Let them take a pee so Bota Lume can come back!

 

[CyclistAbi]

JV having to piss at the front. As what else are they going to do.
