Landissimooooooo

Ayoso looks much better today tho.

 

[DNP-Old]

Vingegaard already looked back three times to see if Kuss is there.

 

[Salvarani]

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 now, because they know remco will beat them. Remco is killing cycling and should pick on kids his own size

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

Good assessment. I think you covered it quite nicely.

 

[theyoungest]

There you have your answer, people. Vingegaard clearly waiting for Kuss.

 

[iBanesto]

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

Around 7 mins ahead.

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Tour winner as dom in the greatest race.

 

[Filippo_3467]

jumbo just breathing through the nose. Probably that's the year we will be looking back at them in a few years like we look now back on US postal.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Wtf Wout Poels

Where's Caruso anyway

 

[DNP-Old]

I'm counting Vingegaard head turns. We're at 4 currently.

 

[Volderke]

C’mon Sepp Kuss, it’s money time!
I have the impression Vingegaard is riding for Kuss now…!

 

[Panda Claws]

While I cheer for Evenepoel I really don't enjoy it when cyclists way too good for it go stage hunting. Reminds me of when Carapaz did it.

Other hopefuls cannot reasonably compete.

Saving grace is that this wasn't the plan from the beginning.

Talking about mountain stages specifically.

 

[Salvarani]

Landa!

Cant wait until he gets Remco to help him next year.

 

[dobrien]

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.

I don't think anyone is insisting he's not one of the best riders in the world, only that he is not of the caliber to compete with the very best of the best GT riders on GC, at least to this point.

This is the post of the day! Whether true or not so elaborately funny!

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Vingegaard doing the "I'm a great helper" PR

 

[Netserk]

Landa attacked too early. Mas will know when to strike.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

This looks like Jumbo group ride to the finish because nobody can go any faster.

 

[tobydawq]

That seems to be it

The fun is over.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

C’mon Sepp Kuss, it’s money time!

Both he and Roglic better be.

 

[bjaelkesex]

I'm counting Vingegaard head turns. We're at 4 currently.

He's used to having his closest rival in front of him.

 

[Salvarani]

They decided Kuss wins.

only that he is not of the caliber to compete with the very best of the best GT riders on GC, at least to this point.

Only Pogacar and Vingegaard is capable of compete with the very best of the best.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Everyone whining about Kuss not being supported now actually gets what happens instead: Tour de France winner strangeling the race with 80% effort and we get no racing at all.

It's the same story to when people were bitching about Wout not getting Vingegaards support lol, he was killing all the interesting moves already.

Nobody except Jumbo.
