A dead heat would have been fun to see. Maybe not for them in those temps.
"If you can see who's won from that photo, let me know the name of your optometrist"
Amazing insight, thanks Patrick!
Cav already regretting taking Bol over Richeze to his leadout…
Big mistake
This stage is a good example of why I don't believe in GC Vine yet. It takes so much nous and savvy to survive as a GT contender across so many terrains. It's not just elite TT position + high w/kg to altitude = GT win. Also why it's never worked out for Kuss, some guys have "it", some don't.
great to see Kevin Nealon taking a role as a swanny in his post SNL career (8.03)
Hate to be that guy, but this is looking good for Cav… he didn’t win, but he’s certainly not finished.
Goes through western region of AUH..Bu Hasa- Habshan ADNOC intetnal road also.👍
why scared are 1000m sprint OMG entertainment guys !!
The UCI has one good rule on the books and they won't let us have it. 😢
From what I can see, I think Merlier had it by a fraction. He had more of his wheel on the line than Caleb, but I agree Lanterne, they should have done a one-on-one from 1k out.
Damn plapp bridging that gap! The engine of the kid!
thanks for the coverage and GCN+ link
top analysis
Cav in 3rd… excellent.
I'm genuinely curious to know whether Ewen is ok with this decision, or fn spewing he got robbed of the "dead heat" sprint chance
Crosswind stages are the best.
Good climbers can still be in there if they know what they are doing.
It's a lot more level playing field than the high mountains IMO.
Great vid LR!! Pity UCI bottled it
vento a grande força do nosso planeta, desafiante ainda mais ir contra o vento..
That was a dead heat don’t know how they gave it to merlier should’ve just done a final sprint
