Multiple teams can be affected then, i hope with the good weather now, not more riders will be affected. And i hope Bagioli and Vervaeke will feel better today.

So will Remco give up the jersey or will those big bad teams (UAE & Jumbo) not play nice and chase the break? Depends how UAE & Jumbo feel, I suppose. Take it easy and have a training spin up to the Observatory - try to gain some time in a sprint (which did n't go so well on stage 3), or press QS to see how Remco's guys feel.
Movistar & Bora might well chase too but seems unlikely, and Jumbo will probably wait until stage 13 and see what happens on stage 10's TT. So UAE, it's up to you!
Looking forward to more of the Lenny's and the other youngsters.

no. 1, 13, 14, 16, 18, 20, and 21 are the stages broadcast from the start.
They should really change the coverage desgin in the future. Today for example the first and the last hour will be interesting. Everything in between not really..

When they cannot cover the full stage they should adjust their coverage in GT stages.. so instead of a coverage from 2.30 p.m. to 5.30 p.m., they should switch it to 12.30 a.m to 1.30 p.m. and then again from 3.30 p.m. to 5.30 p.m.

This climb is a hidden TT: only the watt-o-meter is of importance; no need to care about the other competitors.
Apart from how Remco will do, it will definitely show the hierarchy at TJV. No way that Vingo & Roglic cross the line together. One will loose a significant amount of time which will negatively impact the tactical options of TJV in the mountain stages to come.

What sense would that make? It would be pretty annoying for the broadcast just to stop...

After the break has formed, normally the race calms down without much action until the final starts.. Of course it would still be better to have a full coverage. But I am talking about the stages where limited coverage is available.

Remco: "Look at me I'm Primoz I am falling off my bike"
Vinge: *Danish laughter noises*

QS will probably give away the jersey and I would like to see Jumbo try something with their numbers advantage if Remco is isolated.

Pretty annoying that we don't have early live images of stages like this. Weekend will be even more spectacle at the beginning I think.
