Valverde was going so fast up that climb today that he had to tap his drat brakes on the last switchback.

It was crazy, he was freewheeling over them

laffo at the three who sat up from the lead group, good move lads

e: looking at the post-race interviews I guess it was Sagan got pissed at the others wanting him to chase down the attack and the others waiting for him to do it?

Why is this something new? Nobody's been willing to help Sagan if he's had a short at winning.

They got told to sit up then told to bridge the gap again, then they chose to just sit on Sagan's wheel.

I mean there was a Quick Step rider involved so if there was any possible opportunity to gently caress it up they're of course going to seize it

That's normally what teammates are for, but unfortunately everyone is right about Bora-Hansgrohe having a weak roster other than Sagan.

Lmao Gilbert has 30 seconds on them with 50k to go.

Also that Vanmarke thing was comical. He just fell off. I thought his bars had broken or something but no, the bike looks fine.
