Tour of Catalunya *Spoilers!*

[400bhp]

I thought Quintana was losing his wheelsucker tag but it seems not. He's an irritating rider to watch.
Great ride by Yates and gutsy one by Dan Martin.

He is an utterly terrible tactician. He cannot sprint at all yet he does nothing and makes the race so negative. Him and Bernal should have been up the road and buried not only Yates but Martin.

I don’t get him.

I can only think he didn't fancy a one on one with Bernal.How could he think letting the rest of them back would benefit him ? At worst if they worked together he would of had a second place.Bad move.

Martin is a frustrating rider to watch in terms of tactics, for all his other abilities. It's one of the things that defines his career, he's always almost in the right place and the right time, but somehow just not quite. He just doesn't seem to know when to go or where to be.

At least he'll have a go,I remember him winning a great stage think it was the tour last year.He rides more on his instinct I think.So if it doesn't work at least it lights the race up a bit.

BTW, I watched this on a Spanish feed and both the captions and the commentators kept refering to Adam Yates as Simon Yates until 1.5km to go when they suddenly realised!

They did here aswell !

I almost forgot to mention,a admirable ride by de gendt to stay top of the GC yesterday.I said the same a couple of days ago but I'm thinking "he can't last today ! " Another big stage that I'm sure Yates wants.Should be some attacks today in the mountains.Ill go for a Bernal win today.Cant seeing him playing cat n mouse again.

Did you see him having a chat? I fully expected Yates to offer Quintana his blunt opinion.

 

[roadrash]

well the last few km was fekin brilliant,

Lopez is an exciting rider. He done well

 

[Adam4868]

Yea just watched ,Lopez certainly has some "kick" on him ! Well deserved win today that might take him the whole way ? Looking at this race it should be a good Giro this year.

 

[roadrash]

well that was a well deserved win for mad max schapmann, what happened to bernal , carried his bike for the last couple of hundred metres and over the line

wilko kelderman came down heavy with about 10k to go , full speed and slid into crash barrier

ouch

 

[Adam4868]

Mechanical for Bernal but within the 3 k so no time loss
