'Dale Posted May 12, 2021 Share 1 hour ago, Gen said: He's just come back from a long time off.. Surely they aren't expecting him to just destroy the field.. It will take time. It’s his first Grand Tour. Week 3 is loaded with mountains. Almeida bleeded minutes in the rain yesterday. He is the last GC man standing for the team in blue. Gonna be interesting. The trend of Bernal, Pogačar and other relatively young GC successes will be a boost. Vetplant and Gen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT1 Posted May 12, 2021 Share 1 hour ago, J Wakefield said: Vlasov is quality, lots of GC riders aren't letting him grab a bottle without changing gears incase he attacks. Fair enough. He's untested at three weeks though, isn't he a Grand Tour virgin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetplant Posted May 12, 2021 Share Peloton reluctant to be in the Break today. Two riders go up the road, and no-one else reacts. Long day ahead. See you guys with 10km to go... lechatnoir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a beautiful lifetime achievement, especially as an Italian. He is from Buia, a small town near the city of Udine...............my late Parents hometown My 2nd cousin was at school with Alessandro too...........
