No idea what Jonas was trying to accomplish tactically. He finished 2nd but would have been expected to finish out of the bonuses vs that crew in a sprint.

don't get me wrong. I am absolutely 100% here for jonas ripping the race up just to test his legs.

I can only help but think remco is a major threat given the TT. It had to be about taking time on him no?
 
Should be explosive stage again today. 3km @ 7% at 50km to go and just shy of 2km @ 6% at 10km to go.

Remco, once again, has awful position in the bunch at a key time. That just seems to be his thing. The legs to get across though... wow. Made it look easy

Yeah, he is just hopeless. Pog is great at positioning even though he has to do it by himself most of the time because most UAE domestiques are about as hopeless as Remco.
MVDP is greate and so is the whole team supporting him, though not exactly suprising considering how classics focused the team is.
 
wtf is with televising Dauphine?? Broadcast not starting for another 2 hours??? Is this some .1 race or one of the most prestigious 1 week stage races!

Kinda weird when you can get strange ass stage races on full coverage like vuelta a Burgos. Not that I hate that race, but the viewership for this must be better right?
 
Saw Pog post race interveuw, what happened? Sounded like no one outside UAE interested in pulling back the breakaway.
 
207km with over 3000m elevation gain and average speed for the winner was 45.3 :eek:

Hard to know when you show only last 3 km or so!

Looking at the PCS live it would have been an exciting stage to watch. Looks like Milan got dropped about 10 times.

176 (km to go) Attack by Evenepoel Remco (Soudal Quick-Step)

ASO HAS MADE AN ENEMY FOR LIFE!!!!

Given all mountain stages next weekend, I don't see the logic. Plus Jonas still worked some even after Remco joined the front group.

It felt like Jonas doing something fun but stupid which I am totally down for. Maybe he was just so eager to be in an actual race again!

some guys seem to float through the peloton. some guys don't. it is hard to predict. Jonas is tiny and, while he has always had incredibly strong GC teams, he should still get credit for almost always being in a good position.

I agree that Pogi is amazing at it. Even the cobbled classics don't faze him.
 
More than a minute advatage on Remco, Pog and Jonas so Romeo should easily be able to keep the yellow for another day.

Should be a good TT for Remco, course looks very non technical and fast. Faster the better for him!

I have a feeling remco is about to put a chunk into the other guys.
