    Mechanical for Carapaz and it's bye bye

    Looking like a big mistake bringing Carapaz in place of Thomas right now.

    Yeah, don't get how Carapaz ended up in no man's land.

    Edit needed a wheel apparently.

    32 seconds for Carapaz after a puncture.

    Apologies to Carapaz. It was a mechanical apparently.

    This is the reason I was surprised at his omission. If you take him as a domestique he offers you more support in a full range of situations. That said, look like Carapaz had a mechanical and no-one is getting back if that happens now.

    its damage limitation for carapaz now
  • ProssPross Posts: 31,576
    I hadn't realised Catroviejo was still in the front group. Not much support for Bernal now but then I suppose having two just behind would be a help if anything did happen.
  • david37david37 Posts: 1,313
    soon we'll see Bernal driving it on the front :)
  • bobmcstuffbobmcstuff Posts: 10,367
    Sending someone back for Carapaz is daft, he's not going to get back to the front group - should have just waited for group 2
  • ProssPross Posts: 31,576
    Well over a minute now to the Pogacar group.
  • mididoctorsmididoctors Posts: 10,990
    Wva might as well give it a go . He might be tired though

    @rick_chasey thinks he is a shoe in for the win today.

    I thought that at first but it could be the difference between a podium or not if he saves 30 seconds and it's not really harming Bernal.

    I really hope Sagan scores well today after all the work Bora did

    If he sprints he wins is my guess ..

    I reckon it's his - would be gutting for Bora although I'm not sure the stage was their original aim.

    Why is Van Baarle at this Tour again?

    Ominously, the Green jersey is now 11 minutes back, so where is the Ewan group?

    How are we sitting for the cut off?
    Looks like the organisers may have a tough decision to make, or are there too many?
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Only a minute or so behind them according to the Tour tracker.
