Here we go. ????

This is always a decider of a climb.

A couple of guys looking a bit sketchy on the gravel too.

 

It sure is an interesting race this.

['Dale]

What a panoramic shot ????

Mathieu has a man in the break.

 

The mercurial Bernal and Pogačar also in the mix

If they take Pogacar to the final “bump”, I can’t see many beating him.

I could live with that.

Siena area is in lockdown.

 

Actually I am so used to watching sport without spectators now that it may be very weird seeing them roadside and at stadiums again.. Whenever that may be.

Yeah, was a tongue in cheek comment. Tapatalk doesn’t have Comic Sans font, and I’m not nerdy enough to remember the [/font] code [emoji1787]

Erm there is a split in that peloton and missing a few big names.

 

Okes I can't have GVA win this, best they go close that gap.

Mathieu is on the Aeroad I think?

And the Rainbow Jersey surges

 

Pace ????

So many top riders at the front, I just can’t pick an obvious winner here today.

Well he’s doing his bit to stay in with a chance.

My GCN+ connection seems a bit spotty? Might be my WiFi or local Internet. You can guys have a clear connection?

My Tiz cycling pirate connection has got scurvy

Yup. That's an Aeroad. Why didn't they just change the bars is the question. No need for new bikes...unless there is sone other issue (other than the seat post!).

['Dale]

Two maillot jaune winners, the rainbow jersey, two CX champions, a guy that was banned from racing after misconduct on Twitter, who else?

 

What a leading bunch

 

The chase is on

Strade Bianche: making Omloop look ordinary since 2007

Simmons was quoted as saying that he feels that he didn’t deserve the ban, using black emoticons on Twitter amidst the racial storms in the USA last year.

 

Now the puncture and a frustrating slow wheel change which cost him his race.
