Decathlon riding for kooji must mean philipsen is missing

 

[mididoctors]

It's a big group to chase

 

[TakeTheHighRoad]

Philipsen is in there, I assume Alpecin are playing the MVDP card

 

[mididoctors]

Everyone is sitting on .MvdP and Simmons

Makes sense...but if he is there I wouldn't ride as decathlon

I don't think so - they're not chasing green but they think there's at least a chance of a stage. Kooij hasn't burnt matches on all the intermediates and trying to get into breaks etc and is probably the fastest man left in the peloton

Simmons trying to shred deadwood from the break. Not sure anyone completely fell out, but there were some fairly serious struggles

 

[mididoctors]

The bunch is going to make this group work for it

 

[mididoctors]

Maybe Issac is looking bad

Yo yoing a bit

Yeah, I don't think he's been top for a while, might be banged up, or midnight knocked up. Normally he wouldn't have too much trouble with Remco on a big climb (Remco has clearly improved a lot and is in great form at the mo) and his TT was a little under par yesterday.

But Decathlon are all for Kooij today, which will make him rather unpopular if Seixas punctures on an Alpine stage and his team are all dead in the gruppetto

Asgreen attack from the peloton doesn't get anywhere, but we're back to riders trying to get into the break

They're at 50" and Trek want the break to go so the points are gone, and now is the moment because no-one is riding and the break are stretching the time.

Kooij imagined the potential hate-mail if he burnt Seixas support on a breakaway day

Bridging attacks
