Evenepoel will have to channel his inner Cancellara 2011.

He's back on the bike, but it took a very, very long time before he got a new wheel.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Interesting. Evenepoel losing 5 minutes here might give someone else a small chance of winning.

Not physically, but at least two minutes wasted.

Smart move by the Czechs, make the entire peloton crash behind you when you are at the front. What an idiot.

 

[Samamba]

Makes it interesting

And then ride hard on the front. Total scumbag move.

 

[WKA311]

So Vacek in front. Mayrhofer too?

Yeah, classy.

Crash was in the front of the peloton - held up 3/4 of the peloton, with multiple riders down.

Front group is now around 30 riders, with stragglers riding hard to catch up.

Germans and Czechs pulling the front group.

 

[Saint Unix]

See, this is why riding in the peloton is for chumps. Remco should have just gone off on his own immediately.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

The are hitting the climb now, the heavier riders held up in the crash will never get back.... their race is over.

Italy now sacrificing a guy to keep up the tempo in the front group, and people are already being dropped.

 

[spalco]

Evenepoel coming back already, big props.

Obviously, the Czechs were in front of the peloton when one of them made a move sideways while looking the other way. If this wasn't deliberate, that guy shouldn't be allowed on a bike.

 

[franic]

This Remco is flying

 

[Cance > TheRest]

"Out of my way"

 

[UselessToo]

Remco Cancellara oO

 

[spalco]

Remco is riding at literally twice the speed of everyone else on that climb.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Front group now around 20

3 italians
2 czechs
2 danes
- and then they cut away

Evenepoel riding hard up the climb, passing a new riders every 10 secs

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

1m35s

 

[Broccolidwarf]

What country is the black rider in the funky light blue uniform from? - Anyone know?

 

[DNP-Old]

Except for Frigo and Rubino, all the strong Italians are there. They should start working, but this is the problem of having such a stacked team. No hierarchy whatsoever.

 

[Broccolidwarf]

Also in the group:

1 american
1 dutchman
1 belgian
1 frenchman
- and another cut away
