Happenings: it was a pretty boring stage overall. Main news - Kruiswijk abandoned with "sore knee". Knees are not Jumbo-Visma's strong suit it seems. Whole EF team crashed, but without much consequences. Bunch sprint was very tight with Jakobsen's victory decided by photo finish. Bennett is second and now in green jersey. No changes in GC.
Latest transfers: David de la Cruz to Cofidis Hirt to CCC Poels, Capecchi, possibly Cavendish, Eisel to Bahrain-Merrida Nielsen to EF rumored - Aranburu and O.Rodriguez to Astana
Eurosport Germany says 3 pm like every day, hope they have earlier coverage in the later stages

Ulle got a fine of 7200 euros today for thot patroling (choking a prostitute) last year. Seems like he has not much money left cause they calculated his income at 40 euros a day. He is also rumoured to be in our version of "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!" were they send celebs in the australian jungle
My prediction is that Roglic will lose time on the last climb. It's really steep, too steep for somebody like him.
Jose Davis
the rest of the teams /drijftenue/ /Jumbo/
Matthew Walker
Based and drijftenuepilled.
Andrew Rodriguez
Break is at around ten minutes
Aiden Nelson
Nasty way to die.
Jeremiah Butler
Lambrecht was resuscitated after the crash and was rushed to hospital, but the liver laceration he suffered caused an internal haemorrhage, which led to a cardiac arrest. He died during surgery.
So young too, sad.
Ethan Walker
Could be a great day for Quintana.
Carson Myers
great day for quintana is a great day for us
Colton Collins
That are some criminally bad roads
Tyler Turner
Well, yes.
Angel Hughes
Eurosport with their usual incompetence with Bjarne Riis not having a functioning mic, fucking 10 yo youtubers are more competent than Eurosport
Christopher Rogers
You need a special mic to pick up Bjarne's mumbling though.
Gavin Sanders
they've even acknowledged it, but they keep asking him questions anyway. Embarrassing for all involved, Eurosport needs to just die already
Cooper Powell
Carlton Kirby on English Eurosport said that road signs that say - Danger Falling Rocks - is because sometimes rocks fall. Eurosport hire the best commentators.
Gabriel Morgan
Not as good as Robbie and Matt
Owen Baker
If the TDF hasn't worn him out too much, he could win this tour easily.
Colton Wright
I can`t stand those guys. I only watch them if I can`t get a good Eurosport stream.
Adam Flores
They need to just die so they can stop ruining races with all their bs and endless commercial breaks and give the rights to decent channels
Brody Torres
Are you high?
Aaron Robinson
Any news on this guy yet? Preferably unfounded speculation
De Weert? I thought Belgian media reported that he got put on inactive because he got back to the hotel drunk past friday.
Jonathan Kelly
It's fixed \o/
Adam Rogers
TV Sport 2 has the rights for the Vuelta this year though so if you are paying you might as well pay a channel that doesn't do commercial breaks. I only watch Eurosport on tiz.
Austin Ramirez
Holm&Bay are so much better though, I'll put up with the ads.
Oliver Lopez
Polka or Cofidis to win, place your bets
Cooper Davis
I have yousee and TV2 Sport is basically impossible to get with them
Jeremiah Wilson
>it's a polka dot jersey gets dropped the moment the road turns up episode
He didn't win the Giro despite three (3) time trials and he didn't even crash in any of those.
Luke Gray
He was a lot worse the last years
Brody Lopez
It scares me how good Pogacar is
Juan Diaz
Surprising that MAL is already the strongest Poland Tour suggests he's peaking later
Caleb Torres
He's like 12 years old as well.
Brayden Martin
Valverde is gonna win it
Luis Jackson
Hes afraid of dying in the third week like he did in the giro
Ian Hall
>implying no Madrazo
Aaron Rodriguez
Maybe Remco will not win the next 10 TdFs
Matthew Long
Valverde always cracks in the end, was already like this in 2006 when he lost against Vino after a 4 minute lead. Just like Birdsong turns shit after more than 10 days
Yeah he fucks up the GC for his teammates just to fuck up in the end, what a faggot.
Lincoln Nguyen
Very disappointed in Kelderman, even finished behind boomer Roche
Thomas Wright
Roglic timed his form well for once?
Nathan Turner
>Poels >Kelderman
the absolute state of dutch climbing when Dumoulin isnt competing
Leo Hughes
will Ineos take last place in team ranking today?
Nathaniel Fisher
Dimension data
Liam Wilson
The virgin's really happy about winning, what a victory!
Brayden Robinson
They actually went up, now >fdj is last.
Sebastian Peterson
they might, they got some real meatballs
Oliver Price
It must be such an inefficient way to ride the way he constantly got dropped, then got back, then tried to attack, then got dropped again etc.
Josiah Green
Is the rest of the planet even trying?
Benjamin Price
gotta appreciate the hustle though. dude got a grit
Chase Gomez
Was to help his teammate who was stronger. So Herrada cant ride his own tempo
Christopher Price
>checking on Lopez
1.70 m, weighing 65 kg, wtf, he is relatively heavy. How can he suck so much in TTs if he has a BMI of over 22?
Levi Lee
Colombian
Brandon Turner
>So Herrada cant ride his own tempo But that was pretty much what he did though. Just let him get a few meters gap because he knew Madrazo couldn't keep that lead for long anyway.
It was fun to watch at least.
Colton Wilson
He doesn't look like those stats.
Wyatt Ortiz
Geoghegheghehegan Hart +19:33 today. Needs a bit more marginal gains
Levi Smith
wew, poels kinda got his shit back together a bit.
Brody Robinson
I thought as well, but they give out the same stats everywhere. He should be quite muscular, weighs the same as Roglic who is 7 cm taller than him, not even speaking of Valverde the skeleton.
Jacob Evans
lopez lost 3:45 to roglic in the long tt in giro, it could really kill him
i'm half convinced that he lost giro because of pissma incompetence, teammates and GC alike he has better roster this time and maybe GC learnt how to piss in the bottle in these couple of months
Me too man. He could still technically win a stage.
Michael Thompson
I don't think he will lose that much if he is still in the race for the top 3.
Those TTs are often deceiving, as someone who is out of the GC standings, will not give 100% and just coast in the TTs.
Lopez lost a bunch of time and was pretty much out of it a few stages before, something happened at stage 6.
Camden Morris
I am not convinced of Roglic being good enough in the climbing if we are talking about the win.
He reminds me of Kruiswijk, good steady pace and good at wheel sucking, but cannot accelerate and put in the punch to distance himself from the others.
Nathaniel White
He should at least try. What a fucking embarrassment to be a young British "talent" in British team and have johnny foreigner teammates of your gen this much better than you (Bernal, Sivakov, Sosa).
Adam Nguyen
I think he could survive climbs if he had good enough mountain domestique with him. He was always alone during crucial climbs. Maybe if De Plus didn't abandon things would be different for Roglic.
Levi Rodriguez
No bro, before the time trial in the middle of the race he was within a minute of Roglic
Nathan Davis
Nah, last year in the tour he attacked quite a lot in the mountains and won the last mountain stage with an attack youtube.com/watch?v=0ygEC6fhr58
Grayson Watson
Kruijswijk abandoning is bad news for him if the team gets the red jersey
Austin Harris
He had a good perfomance in Tour of the Alps so he's not completely hopeless.
Jayden Baker
I got screwed with Padun who has zero points, and today that cunt Bauhaus made him crash reeeee
Elijah Stewart
I just hope Kuss is not as shit as he was at Giro. Bennett looks adequate so far.
Benjamin Foster
>wins your entire fucking sport and makes every single johnny foreigner in the entire world shit their pants for billions of years until the sun burns through all of its energy and is extinguished Pssh, nothin personnel
why is madrazo a virgin? is it because of his resemblance to the 40-year-old virgin movie where the main character rides a bicycle to get around?
Connor Jones
>Half the top 10 with Spanish names 2019 marks the beginning Hispanics dominate cycling
Jace Ortiz
see
Jordan Sanchez
is it weird that i woke up yesterday thinking about madrazo? i was trying to remember his first name and i kept repeating madrazo over and over again trying to remember his first name because i havent seen him race since last vuelta. then he wins last night...
