One more shot for freedom!

 

[Cinemaniak]

It's been a long time since i've seen Poels ride like this.

Set filter 'Team=T*V"

 

[DNP-Old]

Vingegaard hardly breathing.

 

[IndianCyclist]

If Poels was this strong, why did he not go into the break

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Almeida is somehow going to be 6th at the finish, isn't he?

 

[Netserk]

Ayuso is stronger than Rogla, they said.

 

[iBanesto]

17%!!!

 

[Scarponi]

There’s that corner

 

[ManicJack]

I could do this with my 22x40.

Come on. Can't be any harder than Coal Bank and Molas 😉

 

[Samamba]

Poels is just going to drop his own leader, just like old times.

 

[DNP-Old]

Bahrain constantly closing gaps to Bahrain.

 

[AmRacer]

1-2-3 JV

 

[Sciatic]

I guess now we know why Ayuso and Mas didn’t try to follow yesterday . . .

 

[Volderke]

Why doesn't Landa let the wheel of Poels go?

Not that it would make any difference (JV going 1-2-3 thanks to their 2 Bahrain domestiques), but still, if they want to win this race they better test the waters instead of brainless pulling.

 

[Salvarani]

Ayuso not too far behind. Solid climb by him so far.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Professional bike racing is just brutal.

 

[Pippo_San]

I don't know what I'm watching.

 

[gunara]

100 words/minute too many from Kirby in this situation

 

[DNP-Old]

Can this race be televised any worse?

 

[Netserk]

Mas 6th on the road with Buitrago in his wheel. Uijtdebroeks behind them.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

If Poels was this strong, why did he not go into the break

Folk were saying Remco was gonna romp this stage. If Poels had gone in the break with him, he would be going backwards like Remco now. He knows all about climbing.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

100 words/minute too many from Kirby in any situation

FTFY.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

The best part of this thread is everyone dancing around the elephant in the room.

 

[Salvarani]

Super hard climb. Small gaps.

Usually what happens.
