Cobbled madness already claiming souls

Almeida and Yates off the back it’s about to go fucking crazy

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

13 riders off the back and we’re not even at the final climb. This is crazy

Almeida backup GC rider for UAE until he loses 10min during the first week

I'm no expert but why would take your butt off the saddle during sections like this? The bike needs all the grip that your weight can give on the back wheel.

That’s the problem, Thomas is not a cobbled or puncher expert he’s a TT guy

Time to poop and get coffee before the sprint haha

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

Here’s comes the last climb, I expect some teams to drill this

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

Bisseger abandons

 

[Videer]

Will that be the only time Jonos beats The Pogman during this Tour?

No Jonas has given up on GC and is no pursuing the mountains points it seems

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

Here comes the next echelon spot

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

3x members of Girmay off the back in the echelon, and the IPT main sprint force off the back

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

BIG SPLIT!

 

[Videer]

where is Remco????

 

[Videer]

I AM SCARED!!

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

If this small split goes all the way we’re probably seeing the following sprint force it

Groves
MVDP
Girmay
WVA
Pogicar
Uno x sprinter warenskold

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

If we’re racing full speed into the final 4k expect there to be crashes and brutal battles for position. There are 3 90 degree turns.

Roglic and evenpoel have missed the split this will not let up

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

where is Remco????

Mechanical, he’s in group 2
