Empty The tank time

Gee puling in the GC now lol

Lack of team support

Looking after Van Wilder's entirely unremarkable 12th place GC
(actually they were all a sprint train for Merlier)
(also, Paret-Peintre burnt matches like a lunatic racing Carapaz, a man with proven staying power, who could well be in the running for today's stage)

Got to bring Lenny Martinez back for Ayuso and Skjelmose. It was always a balancing act

I wonder if VPP is betting that Carapaz isn't going to be taking any points at the top of AdH when the GC kicks off and is saving himself for tomorrow to try and get the first 3 climbs (50pts) before GC kicks off tomorrow?

Maybe, but after all that he's given up a Cat 2 summit to Carapaz here as well, so I reckon he's just banjaxed himself

Yup.
TNT bosses probably class it as a foreign language so it doesn’t count.
In which case they obviously haven’t listen to Kirby.

It's also available live on TG4, the Irish-language channel - https://www.tg4.ie/en/. Maybe we get a similar deal to the Welsh! The commentary team is good.

This hill has wrecked everyone

That would be a very french thing to do, so peut-etre c'est la verite

Pidcock struggling

 

[Blazing Saddles]

The gap has come down quite a bit.

 

[TomDW]

If the break isn't caught , Carapaz for the win? or is Kuss on one ?

 

[Dorset Boy]

Think it's going to be close between Carapaz / Kuss and the GC group at the finish.
How clear the road stays might be a factor.

Why do they say there are 21 hairpins when there are actually 22?
Turn 0 always gets ignored.

 

[mididoctors]

Here's a road I recognise

Kuss should be fresher but he has the giro legs
