@faustocoppi60 UAE will never let him get back now

@laflammerouge16 @BenjiNaesen What's yours?

[The Road Captain - Cycling Channel @The_RoadCaptain]

@ByCSauertieg @Cocaloca99 @BenjiNaesen Red Bull km has it's own classification and Rubio is in the fight to win it.

@organicmeasure @BenjiNaesen @NairoInGreen Nah, it's changed.

[The Road Captain - Cycling Channel @The_RoadCaptain]

@BenjiNaesen @NairoInGreen They changed it a couple of years ago. It was a big bowl before, now it's like a crystal Tesla tower shaped thing.

This was the craziest stage I've even seen.

Roglič attacking on first Jaunpass was always on my bingo card.

#TDR26

[The Road Captain - Cycling Channel @The_RoadCaptain]

Remco turning into world class sprinter was not on my bingo card.

Is Pogi really gonna go on Cote de Stockeu?

I think chances are 75%

@CyclingWerewolf @faustocoppi60 Attacking is racing. Crash that creates a split in peloton 200+km from finish is not racing it's trying to be opportunistic in a very cheap way.

[The Road Captain - Cycling Channel @The_RoadCaptain]

@Ibra_cadabraFC Well, it's action in first half of the race. We don't know what really happened that's the point.

[The Road Captain - Cycling Channel @The_RoadCaptain]

We dream of this kind of scenario and then no live images.

Absolute ciclismo is back!

@faustocoppi60 @ammattipyoraily Have a good trip

[The Road Captain - Cycling Channel @The_RoadCaptain]

@CyclingWerewolf I think there's just no other option when the top favorite has such a strong team as well. Sivakov/Cosnefroy/Wellens they can surely all survive until Redoute, that's their finish line.

[The Road Captain - Cycling Channel @The_RoadCaptain]

@CyclingWerewolf Different approach was actually tried in E3, Dwars and Wevelgem, let the favs go away (treat them as breakaway) and try to reel them in. But that doesn't work in hard races like De Ronde or LBL. Your doms are long gone when Pogi goes.

[The Road Captain - Cycling Channel @The_RoadCaptain]

@CyclingWerewolf You saw it already at De Ronde. No one could get away from the peloton and that was the race that always had 2nd/3rd tier guys in the moves on the long lap before 2nd Oude Kwaremont. UAE/Pogi just know how to race these races

[The Road Captain - Cycling Channel @The_RoadCaptain]

@CyclingWerewolf Because this is a team sport and UAE will pace it throughout the race at exactly the pace you can't attack at. Race of attrition actually goes right into Pogi's arms. And then when it comes down to his attack everyone else is already at the limit.
