    Aaaaand they go again.

    Given how strung out it is at the moment I'm not sure compatto is quite the right word... Some serious pace at the moment.

    It's all still very much in attrition phase. Teams trying to put some hurt in and keeping their captains safe at the front (Wout, Trentin, GVA).

    Teams deffo putting the hurt on, not so much softening up but tenderising

    BREAKING APART
  • blazing_saddlesblazing_saddles Posts: 20,652
    I spy in the front group: Van Aert, Stannard, Trentin, Bennot and Wellens, Stybar and Lampaert, GVA, Lutsenko and Naesen...

    Sep, Stuyven, Roelandts stuck with the deadwieghts.
    Terpstra lost in space...

    Benoot crashes out. Sep shelled and out of contention as well (for now).

    Stybar looking very fresh. GVA still in it, but looking a little laboured.

    Stybar looking very fresh. GVA still in it, but looking a little laboured. Daniel Oss in the mix. Is he working for Ackermann or does he get to have a go without the real Sagan?

    Benoot found a way to break up that lead group into a very small selection and keep Wellens in with a shout. :oops:

    We reach the last chance saloon for the chase, in the form of the muur.

    How do they keep traction on damp cobbles at 20%?
  • blazing_saddlesblazing_saddles Posts: 20,652
    The muur only accounts for Oss. Meh

    Gva looks like he’s having a club run, Stibar doing loads of work
  • m.r.m.m.r.m. Posts: 3,027
    Looks like it'll come back together. Trentin probably the favourite in that case.

    About twenty seconds gained by the leaders over that last climb. Don't think this is coming back together.
