Why is Covid so prevalent in summer. In Australia everyone I know got it around our summer (December - Feb) and not a single
Person in winter. This veulta has more DNS from covid than most races combined.

Today is the one year anniversary of remco crashing into a crowd of journalists after the finish

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Maybe Visma are anticipating that a lot of other riders will eventually abandon, so keeping Uijtdebroeks in the race for as long as he's still able to finish inside the time limits, means he cian still win the race.

 

[Samamba]

Van Eetvelt's test is negative, but he says he can't breath properly so I wouldn't be surprised if a new test tomorrow or the day after turns out positive.

 

[Colombiano Cadence]

The risk/reward is just not there for GC teams today - if you control all day, what realistically will you gain on a 3km 9% climb and a descent to finish? BOC is a really good descender so even if he is gapped by 30 secs on the climb, there is a fair chance he narrows that by the finish. Not worth it today imho

Could it be that Kian dropping in every bridge and speed bump is a strategy to 'social distance' from his rivals and avoid covie?

I think I've said it the last two Grand Tours around this point that we often see 'many' Covid cases now, but the remaining nine or ten stages we barely see any at all. Let's hope the pattern repeats itself.

Rapid so far - around 20kms done at 56km/hr average. No wonder no gap has been made yet.

 

[Rob5091]

AG2R must be keeping everyone on a tight leash. Now Campenaerts has a go.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Peacock just started their broadcast, things are looking pretty wild with 110km to go. Not sure what Victor's chances are but I like that he's at least taking them.

 

[ice&fire]

Campenaerts left sock is much longer than his right one. Where are the UCI commissaires?

 

[Samamba]

Big group clear from the peloton now.

Van Eetvelt's test is negative, but he says he can't breath properly so I wouldn't be surprised if a new test tomorrow or the day after turns out positive.

Why wait for some stupid test if you can't even breathe properly though. Just abandon and get well ffs

Cause he doesn't know for sure he's sick? Could be his asthma too. He doesn't want to use his spray cause last time he did he got bullied by the Frenchies.

IS that Ag2r doing synchronised cycling at the front

 

[ice&fire]

Carapaz not good at CX

Dang, they are just blocking everyone, one escapee squeezed through though.

Ouch, Richie crashes.

 

[SafeBet]

At least 30 riders in the break? Maybe 40.

 

[JosefK]

Richie got Colbrellied.

 

[perico]

Carapaz crash. Looks a little shook up but coming back.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

I hope some else escapes now

Why are the Decathlon riders riding like they own the road?
