    Seems like they're just going to let him go up the road. Which will be interesting if he still has a decent gap at the foot of Angliru, that's where Jumbo will need to start thinking about bringing him back or attacking....

    I figured Jumbo couldn't afford Soler to gain too much time on Roglic so they have to chase. UAE get a tow.
    Oh, and Remco must be livid. Although it might just be Jumbo going for the win.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Seems like Soler's leash is set at 1 minute. He'll end up losing time badly I think, but would be fun if he could put Roglic under pressure

    It was at this point he realised the Shakespearean aside post was correct

    Remco not looking comfortable on the descent. Bit greasy under the trees

    I was going to say that Evenepoel isn’t pushing it on the descent

    Yeah, quite strange to see him going down at a pace similar to me on an open road.

    Do not call me Angliru. You wouldn't like it when I'm Angliru

    If the gps is correct the peloton were a minute quicker descending.

    Why do they keep cutting back to Remco out the back? That and the word salad is making it nearly unwatchable.

    It feels like Bahrain are setting this up for JV.
