Why are sky riding on the front?

Why are sky riding on the front?

Aim will be to thin everyone out to cement 2nd place for Carapaz.

It's odd that there such a large peleton altogether and not strung out....pacing themselves?

 

[twistedAM]

Why are sky riding on the front?

The sponsor wants to sell more cars.

 

[Cid]

Elissonde attacks, Brian drones on.

52kg

 

[David Clapson]

So Mollema is very bad. Disrespecting the rainbow jersey. This is the only drama of the day, so far.

 

[David Clapson]

How can Van Aert win a climb? He's 6 ft 1, 78 kg.

Ineos still working hard. For pogacar.

 

[David Clapson]

7 riders have abandoned today.

 

[David Clapson]

Poj is getting ready to go.

 

[Cid]

Ineos still working hard. For pogacar.

For Vingegaard.

 

[Cid]

Go on, recapture some glory for Jumbo Visma

 

[David Clapson]

As I predicted, Poj gone.

 

[Cid]

As I predicted, Poj gone.

Gone backward, yes.

Showing a little flaw

 

[David Clapson]

Maybe he's better at poker than cycling.

 

[David Clapson]

I still don't see how Wout can get his huge carcass up a mountain so much faster than the riders who have a climber's build.

I guess we won't see the grupetto come safely home and the time limits

I guess we won't see the grupetto come safely home and the time limits

No we won't but they are well within the limit. I think it's about +47 mins and they were +35 'nearly' at the top of the mountain.

They must be still climbing. Let's hope Cav is with them.

 

[hash tag]

Tony Martin sounds rough. He looked like it was just a big cut to right leg but DS will only say loose teeth.

 

[Cid]

They must be still climbing. Let's hope Cav is with them.

Nah, they're descending now judging by the crappy live map.

 

[Cid]

Mind you, it's now stuck. Wait and see I guess.

Easy!

Luke Rowe gone

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

So, Ineos rode hard in the front all day, for bugger all result and a bonus side effect of dropping their road captain out the race. Slow handclap lads, well done

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

As for WvA, what a rider. Nearly beats Cav in a sprint, then wins a double ascent of Ventoux the day after. A bit of hope for JV in what’s been a miserable tour for them so far.
