Group 4 / WvA might as well abandon imo. Well I guess they can sprint for 10th place

The car can't get away from moscon fast enough, he's getting a decent draft.

It's a long one in the conditions, the groups behind are putting in power (though MvdP looks like he's not up to doing it himself), he's got a chance. I don't think he's certain.

It'd be a shame if perhaps the biggest oval office in the peleton wins

Would be a pretty on-brand move though. Win an absolute gently caress of a classic -> leave team.

Especially since he's going Ineos -> Astana

Hope he catches him in the velodrome so we get a proper sprint

Skarsnik: Oct 21, 2008; I...AM...RUUUDE!

Turns out the only reason everyone had caught back up with ineos was the disc brakes

I'm guessing it's gonna require at least three baths to feel somewhat clean after this.

They caught him so he'll back off now.

It's the four days of hydration fluids and BRAT foods that'll be the fun. Much harder to clean your insides.

Will regret not having rim brakes now

New bike might actually help him tons now it's drying.

The danish commentators were talking about some of the riders from the race yesterday being hosed down by pressure washers, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Ouch.

Well, I think that could have done more damage

e: oof, about 30 seconds per GPS

# ? Oct 3, 2021 14:32

He looks hosed to be fair. Thats the face of a man who went past the limit 10k ago.

He lost ~20 seconds, I think.
So the big question now is: Is it a benefit to have a bike that's fresh oil on the chain?

Why is group 3 10 times filthier than group 2?

# ? Oct 3, 2021 14:34

30 seconds is bridgeable imo.

Hes washed his face now but he had full crow makeup on earlier.

Think most of group 2 were in the earlier break groups so haven't had 250km of riding in the spray of a 50+ rider bunch

a little more than that in the end, right?

as to the possible benefit, idk how much the power savings matter with only 30 km left but it must feel so good once you get back your rhythm (getting off has got to suck though)
