Yip.. The race for position ahead of the gravel will be soon. ????

Not the first time I see Ineos riders disagreeing with each other today.. 

 

Cranky Wednesday. 

[Gen]

Sags Baby chatting a bit closer to the front now. ????

[Eugene Oppelt]

Some previews I've read is that some of the riders will be walking certain segments of the finalé.

Now what is going on here... 

 

Something is up the bunch has been slowed down for some reason.

Uhm, more accurately, this segment before the final descent.

[Vetplant]

Peloton sitting at 14mins behind with 67km to go..... I wonder if the break has a slither of a chance today ????

Yip, there'll be an attack or 5 on that first grevvel segment... don't blink.

[Eugene Oppelt]

This chase amongst the GC favourites will chow up the advantage now to the break - Sagan on the hunt for stage glory.

Yes, Sagz Baby working for Buchmann - now dropped.

Evenepoel's positioning left him exposed on Sunday, again today on the first gravel segment and when he got back on, remains languishing towards the back while Bernal is attentive and right up there. Any attack he makes will be difficult for Evenepoel to counter.

goes without saying that the WT is a steep learning curve, with the emphasis on learning...

 

fascinating viewing
