Horrific riding style. Strip him of the stage

 

[postmanhat]

Fair play to Castrillo for actually attacking.

Steep learning curve for Poole over the last couple of days. Could have done so much better with a bit more nous.

 

[Sciatic]

Nice!

 

[Netserk]

Massive tailwind at the finish. Perhaps they will actually sprint in the peloton and not just stroll together.

 

[noob]

Mauri shared his wiggles in the last 500 meters for Castrillo

 

[ppanther92]

So Poole was 24s faster on only 1km. Gave away that win surely...

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Chapeau Castrillo, well deserved!

G2 was doing G2 things, their loss.

Fairytale stuff from the Spaniard. Love seeing a winner come over the line absolutely wasted.

 

[Samamba]

Thank god Poole didn't catch after all that wheelsucking and complaining to others that they didn't ride. I mean I like the kid, but what was that.

So Poole was 24s faster on only 1km. Gave away that win surely...

Blame group dynamics

That last 500m was torture to watch. Everytime he looked back (which was about 15 times) he lost another second due to riding style. Congrats for the win!

Blame group dynamics

If you are the strongest, you sometimes have to force your own luck. No one prohibited him from dropping them.

Ben Healy wants to talk to you

 

[Tim Cahill]

Poole suffered from yesterday, not legs wise but yesterday he was getting sat on a lot and didn't want to get mugged again today, but in the end screwed himself as the dynamics of the stage were different.

 

[Sciatic]

Carapaz to toss in a brief attacjk here?

 

[tobydawq]

That's a pretty epic win.

GC snore

Absolutely. Poole did not trust his ability.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Grupetto comes in.....

 

[search]

10th place is quite a lousy birthday present

 

[Sciatic]

GC Kept their powder dry for tomorrow.

 

[RedheadDane]

Skjelmose trying to get rid of the "Zubeldia" moniker.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

10th place is quite a lousy birthday present

And it wasn't even that.

 

[Tim Cahill]

A few more of those and Carlton might get Skjelmose's name right

Sean is this err... Tao Geoghegan Hart?

 

[tobydawq]

Someone explain to me what the point is of setting a pace there only to do absolutely nothing?

Not getting OTL.
