Good shot that a breakaway makes it today, probably going to see a lot of people fighting to get in on that

>>76989867

How come you rarely see a second break go midway through the stage? Today would be perfect for it. Just piggyback on the sprint trains for the inter sprint then keep on going

Yeah. It's basically just the guy on your team that can read a race the best. Maybe because he knows the roads, or he's ridden the race many times. He'll just make the decisions on the road.

>>76990854
They know people aren't going to stop attacking behind. They'll be joined by others at some point. May as well stay out there.

>>76991538
Do you have mountains in finlandia?

I just showered, what has happened since Van Avermat and Chavanel were in the break?

What is this talk about Demaré?

>>76991539

Burghardt is a big guy

there's so many pedestrian crossings in france and yet pedestrians and drivers alike take absolutely no notice of them

I was just in England and Ireland/Norn Iron. The west coast of Ireland is stunning. Especially the Dingle peninsula - I did a 4-day walking tour around the whole thing.

Based Kirby on eurosport now. Bless him.

I like him wish he was more to the left tho

130 to go and the peloton is still a bit uneasy.

With a bit of luck this could be pretty fun.

sky have killed it.

So this is what Francois was talking about on the cycling podcast: wtf do the other teams even cooperate with Sky and not do anything it takes to fuck them up?

What if Steve Cummings is playing 4d chess and knows that no break is going away at the start? Everyone with an attacking mind would burn themselves out and then Steve would go and win it with 2 fingers in his nose.

i have based 50/34 front and 11-32 at the back. i already tested going up the Koppenberg with full baggage and that worked on my test, but that's a few mins of high intensity climbing and not an hour climbing a col. we'll see how it goes

Best stage in this tour so far

what the fuck am i even watching

>>76991798
Glad it's a weekend. Ditto for tomorrow.

>>76991787
Broad daylight

Can riders take the day off, or give up during the stage?

>>76991766
>>76991776
>>76991779
>fireworks
well it all fizzled then..

Just shows how cancerous it is running two flat stages in a row, never do that again.

>>76991832
No.
There are some rest days though.

>>76991832
yes, you can just dip in and out depending on muh feels, it's a major part of race tactics

>>76991825
What are the temperatures like at midnight? Does it cool enough to be comfy?

>>76991787
Pretty much broad daylight. It doesn't get more dusky until a week or so closer to when the midnight sun ends

Sleeping cozily, murderer?

>>76991832
>I don't feel like riding today

Im going to switzerland in a week and just mounted an 11-32 for that shit. I had a 28 last year and that really fucked me over on pic related, having to be at 70-75rpm for kilometers on end really killed me. Granny gear it is for this year.
