Is the race official’s (red) car trying to get a draft off of Remco? Not sure why they need to follow that closely?

The race director is called Leo de la Vliet.

Things getting interesting in the peloton. Bahrein setting the pace, Almeida dropped.

Remco amazing, 50th professional win at 23 years of age yet some still insist he is not one of the best riders in the world.

What is Pelayo Sanchez doing attacking Vlasov like it's for the GC title

That was hilarious. Trying for the combativity award for the day?

 

[Netserk]

Vingegaard now in front of Kuss.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Even ole Bob might pump the brakes a little on these narrow roads!

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Almida dropped

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Are they going to stop Caruso for Landa?

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Almeida dropped?

Yes

Remco is a disgusting neoliberal, he would make a good business lobbyist or rightwing politician. He is the anti-Robin hood, he robs from the poor to give to the rich. Instead of fighting against vingagard, roglic, kuss, and the best gc guys for stage wins, he goes in constant meme breakaways and steals easy stage wins from hardworking breakaway riders trying to get a season-defining win for them and their teams. Now only the same 5 guys win everything, and nobody tries for historic breakaway wins, because they know remco will beat them. Remco is killing cycling. He should pick on kids his own size

Anyway at least we should get some nice Gorilla gestures at the finish

 

[Elos Anjos]

Almeida dropped or is yo-yo-yo?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Steff Cras loves a battling display riding the entire climb 50m behind the peloton

Most reasonable Remco take

 

[Netserk]

Landa will attack with 4 km to go.

A bit over the top but there's a grain of truth in that.

World Tour wins?

What the hell was that camera shot

He's got nothing on comrade Masnada.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Oh look, Evenepoel is winning. That means all the haters can once again come up with fake quotes to justify their hate for him. How dare he win from the break, such a coward! How dare he win KOM, useless award! He should just retire instead of offending forum members.

It may be something to do with his name being mentioned so many times. It's like he's the only rider to ever win from a breakaway, or ever to win the KOM, or ever to win whatever the eff. What he's doing is winning the equivalent of 2.pro races within a GT.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

A bit over the top but there's a grain of truth in that.

The biggest truth in the post is this:
"Now only the same 5 guys win everything."
Poor WVA being one of the top 6, but he never wins

 

[Netserk]

Peloton at 6 km to go.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Chapeau to Remco ahead of time, but I can't wait to see the drama within the peloton.

 

[theyoungest]

Outofthepants still there... what an amazing first GT. Of course going to be completely overshadowed by the Stage Hunter from Schepdaal.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Anyone with an estimate on how far Caruso is ahead of peloton?

 

[Netserk]

Jumbo in formation.

 

[iBanesto]

Landa surging...
