Tulett getting into the break, said he wants the stage as it's his nephews baptism in a few weeks and Nathan Van Hooydonck cut his finger peeling potatoes this morning.
Soler trying to convince people to neutralise it so he gets a better opportunity to sneak off the front with 100km to go for a mythical Quintana style victory

Today Visma doesn't want to give ¡the stage. Poor Soler, today he finally found the energy he hadn't had any other day.
Aren't visma overcontrolling this a bit? No need to keep the gap this small. At this rate people will be trying to bridge at the next climb.

I don't think Visma were going to give a rider on UAE who is quite close on GC much leeway on any stage, regardless of their initial plans.
Yeah, would let the gap open to 1:30 or 2 minutes at least. Will probably happen on the flat now..

Now Visma could have the gap at 2 minutes already, they’re unnecessarily helping out riders who want to get in the break.

They are strong enough to do it like this. And as everyone knows that, it also credibly signals that it's futile to try today.

Who would have thought a cyclist would be such a poster child for 'family values', Vingo would probably make a good politician.

If Trine wants her husband to win the Tour again perhaps she should try birthing in July

True, just seems like an unnecessary risk to me. Gap 1min30 to 2 would still see them comfortably in control and discourage attacks. Although maybe with tomorrow looking like a stage for breakaway people will decide to save their legs now.

Seriously? Soler isn't a threat to Vingegaard. They could give him 5 minutes and he'd take them off on this course. Only half of that time on Angliru.
They want the stage.

No Landa, no ineos, no Astana in break. What's the point of ever getting excited about anything.

Time gaps can spiral out of control and people profiting from said time gaps can prove tougher nuts to crack than expected. See also: Ben O'Connor, Sepp Kuss, Thomas Voeckler, David Arroyo, Oscar Pereiro. You should never plan for exclusively the most likely scenario.

It's Pedersen and Soler, both have proven time and time again that any semblance of tactics is way too complicated for them.

Vingegaard may find himself a bit isolated at the end of this stage, but maybe he'll be strong enough to be in control in any case.
