Their either all want to be in the break with Sagan or they don't want him to be in the break..

 

Boy did they scramble to shut that down.

Marc Soler abandons... Seems to be from a previous crash

Statement from Israel Start-Up Nation on De Marchi

 

"Unfortunately, De Marchi crashed out of the race. Dema is conscious, but cannot continue the Giro. We will update once we have more information."

Truce finally called and the break goes....48s lead. Relatively large group.

It looked bad from the above camera shot. Medics, ambulances, even the stretcher was out - usually precautionary but gives me chills every time I see it.

 

Also missed the actual crash though

At what point does a breakaway become so big its just 'the peloton'?

Its a good group. be nice to see Bennett or Ulissi do something spicy. Obv not overall, but make the break work today.

Or Niv, shame, there's not many ISN peeps left.

Drop us a reminder once they approach the first Gravel section... Some of us scheduled a Teams Meeting at 14h30 ????‍♂️

Catching up after a three day business trip with app controller access to the network.

On a normal work day (from home) a dual screen works well:

- Teams call on my phone, unless I’m presenting something;

- Work stuff on the laptop;

- GCN+ on the extended screen. Volume low, so if I need to talk, they won’t hear Brian Smith, Rob Hatch or Sean Kelly inhaling.

Nibbles having some fun on this downhill..
