Easy for Rogla 🤣

ROG.....

Fun little finish that. All in balance

 

[M.R.M]

Roglic has a really weird sprint style. Super in control. So much so that it looks like he has a competition with himself to do the absolute minimum amount of watts possible and still win.

 

[Pross]

Today’s linear coverage is literally unwatchable. 4 minute ad breaks after no more than 5 minutes of actual race.

Are you complaining your illegal streams aren’t good value for money? 😂

Crosswinds have caused a split with a large group off the front containing most GC contenders. G is drilling it keep the Lidl led peloton at bay. Brennan could be the big beneficiary as he’s in the front group.

 

[Pross]

VLAB and Ineos really working well into the headwind to make the split count.

 

[roadrash]

Brennan does it again.....

 

[Pross]

Brennan gets another stage. Van Eetveltthe big loser of the day losing 43”. All the teams with numbers worked really hard there into the headwind for most of the final 10km.

Can Brennan hold on for the points jersey? (need to get my calculator out)

Tommorrow, with just 1 second between them, will be a big show down between Ayuso and Roglic. Can't see a break staying away with so much at stake, bonus seconds at the finish might be very important. So I guess that the finishing points will go to those two at the least.

And Sunday with all those lumps will make it very difficult for the pure sprinters?

Need Brennan to sneak in a break and take some sprint points.

Visma statement....
Matthew Brennan will not start the 6th stage of the Volta a Catalunya. As a replacement for Jonas Vingegaard, the team has decided to give the 19-year-old rider some extra rest.

With two victories, it has been a fantastic week for Matthew.

 

[Blazing Saddles]

Further modifications. No bonus seconds sprints and GC pretty much neutralised by times being taken 5kms from the finish.
Given the race situation, not good.
