Remco must be bored sitting in the peleton all day. I suspect a surprise attack a few km before that intermediate sprint.

Remco getting the intermediate sprint would certainly spice up the finish.

 

[bjaelkesex]

No problem for the Spanish wonderkid [Ayuso], who promised a "last big battle" for tomorrow.

I don't remember a "first big battle" or any big battle for that matter.

Isn't every rider bored sitting in the peleton?

 

[ManicJack]

Richard Plugge forgot to mention all of the twats on the twit 🙄

I don't know. I haven't asked. I think many are happy in the peleton because they stay there for almost the whole tour.

There are a couple whole teams that you would barely know are present

 

[Tim Cahill]

Richard Plugge - 'Values, team ethos, the process, everyone believes in it'

Carlton - 'Well... there you go'

 

[Rackham]

What did Plugge say? I missed the interview.

 

[dgodave]

Windmills were in the forecast. And here they are!

Drama is overblown. Riders advocate for themselves. There is no internal conflict

 

[Tim Cahill]

What did Plugge say? I missed the interview.

Nothing of any note, just the expected PR stuff, usually what really happened drips out over time I suppose.

 

[Danskebjerge]

*edit*
Found it. Not that hairy.

Looks like a perfect stretch for a sprint in a big race.

What did Plugge say? I missed the interview.

I'm not sure if I heard it right but Tiberi claimed Kuss shot the cat, Jonas has taken up Satanism and Roglic is going back to ski-jumping. Or nothing in particular ... probably the later.

 

[dgodave]

Whoa prototypical "castle". Its like what you get when you ask a kid to draw a castle.

 

[perico]

What did Plugge say? I missed the interview.

He said Sepp told him to "go ahead" while he was tweeting.

 

[Rackham]

Whoa prototypical "castle". Its like what you get when you ask a kid to draw a castle.

It looked like the castle from The Evil Dead 3 (Army of Darkness) with Bruce Campbell.

I'm not sure if I heard it right but Tiberi claimed Kuss shot the cat, Jonas has taken up Satanism and Roglic is going back to ski-jumping. Or nothing in particular ... probably the later.

This is very helpful, thanks. I figured it was something along these lines.

Srsly, bourgeois comments are the worst.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

What? Astana are i the race?
PCS just posted - they have one top ten in the entire race, De La Cruz sixth, stage 14.

What did Plugge say? I missed the interview.

Standard stuff about winning and working together.

Jumbo is attracting a lot of criticism, but if I was a DS, I'd rather have Jumbo problems than the problems of every other team in the peloton right now.

 

[postmanhat]

Had completely forgotten Battistella was in this race. Just like most of those he's participated in this year. Hope he can bounce back next season.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Windmills were in the forecast. And here they are!

I saw those and got excited, but then I fell back asleep again.

This is a fantastic stage for students of agriculture because you can take soil samples here and there and then analyze them, but other than that another 11km to go.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Grandpa G is stretching his legs a little.

 

[wheresmybrakes]

Hard to believe INEOS having turned into a sprinter team during a GT. Its been a pretty naff race for them.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Filippo to take a flyer off the front?
