O'Connor saved his podium by the nails!

For the moment. It will be a hard fight against Mas and Carapaz.

 

[Sciatic]

How they managed to not drop O'Connor for good? Terrible terrible

There was a descent

 

[Coffeeplanter]

Amazing tactics by Movistar, to have riders wait on the top to eliminate .... hold on, checking notes ..... still checking ... ah, yes, there it is. Landa.

 

[AmRacer]

#freelanda 😭

 

[Netserk]

Movistar dropped the ball today. A great shame if Carapaz ends up 4th in GC.

It was really not a lot of gap. 6-7s at top. Hard to keep in a descend if they one chasing risks (and he also has Lafay and Paret Peintre).

 

[Peyroteo94]

There was a descent

They had a 20 seconds gap.

 

[ppanther92]

They had a 20 seconds gap.

Never

What happened to Landa please someone can explain . Surely such a n experienced rider and great climber could not drop by accident?

 

[Sciatic]

Merger with chasing group, not sure if better for OConnor.

Nobody helps him.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Nairoman sighting, unfortunately in the Landa group

 

[RedheadDane]

Casper, STOP!

 

[JosefK]

Landa getting the Vollering treatment from teammates up the road?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Huge decision for Kern Pharma to make now, ride for a sprint with Miquel or try to win with an attack?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

He was badly positioned, not on a great day, and his team has decided not to help him. Maybe he should let BORA know he's available

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Even if the radio isn‘t working, Pedersen should have noticed Landa isn‘t there by now.

 

[Fantastico]

They had a 20 seconds gap.

It was maybe 5 seconds to O'Connor.

 

[Sciatic]

Nairoman sighting, unfortunately in the Landa group

It’s the no-longer-GC guys group with Landa and Kuss

ed Yates also

 

[Potomac]

Go for the sprint

T-Rexes may have smaller arms, but T-Rex have even smaller brains.

 

[Sciatic]

Excellent entertainment—lots to keep an eye on these last 25 km

 

[Peyroteo94]

It was maybe 5 seconds to O'Connor.

But he waited for VPP who was 10 seconds later

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Lefwvrere you have an AMETEUR team. They should be screaming at the radio to get pederson, whoever is ahead to drop back and pull hard for their leader, he race for a podium and the team has nothing else to get from this race . Comeon man somebody please tell lefwvre this

Kicking myself. I went out to rake some leaves an hour ago, and when I come back, all heck has broken loose.
