Vetplant Posted July 10 Share 21 hours ago, Vetplant said: Flat stage following the rest day... no surprise that no-one wants to go into the breakaway... 37km covered in the first hour. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bub Marley Posted July 10 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted July 10 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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...
