Leisurely... A day later, the story changes completely, Everyone wants to be in the Break, and UAE seems unwilling to let it go. 49km/h average speed currently

Vetplant Posted July 10 Posted July 10 Van der Poel dropped by the Peloton and part of the Gruppetto currently... DieselnDust 1
Bub Marley Posted July 10 Posted July 10 Are they doing this to control the break or is it more a case of keeping the pace high and try and weaken the Visma train before the action starts. I think this stage definitely suits Pogi and he’s probably thinking of 30sec gap and maybe win bonus. Vetplant 1
DieselnDust Posted July 10 Posted July 10 looks like MVDP isn't interested in any stage wins this year, just there for base miles and leading out Phillipsen. Quite a waste of talent

Quite a waste of talent I'm also surprised. I thought between himself and Jasper they would have had multiple wins by now. Other guys are smiling though.
Vetplant Posted July 10 Posted July 10 Pogi and the Peloton are 1m49s back now. they seem content with the riders upfront, 12 in total spread across the road. Will probably consolidate over the next 50km before the real climbing starts... I'm going for Carapaz to hang-on for the win over a chasing GC battle... Headshot 1
