MVDP trying to solo away from the peloton with 50k left to go... he couldn't... could he... ?

What a character. He'll have a good training day 🤪

MVDP on a solo attack with 50kms to go.

He can't do that. Can he?

I'm not betting on him not making it, if the Banck Bank Tour and Kuurne are anything to go by

He really does light up races.

looks windy at tirreno. this will make it hard to ride bikes #insight

I think he'll make it. The chasers are not looking for a stage win. Now hoping for a nice Pog vs WVA battle

Pidcock’s younger brother is riding for the FDJ development team at Paris-Troyes today.

MVDP's arse is going to be in tatters if he keeps doing gels at this rate #insight

Over 2 minutes ahead now with 30k to go. And still gaining time (also because messing with rain jackets)

taking these sharp corners with lots of white lines in the wet is giving me the heebie jeebies

Just turned this on, they all look frozen

Where's Thomas? Doesn't look like he's in the GC group?

He's at the back by the looks of it.

It’s early in the season.

Brilliant gloves off riding again.

The chasers look like they’re smashing themselves and not making any impact on the gap.

I'd say MVDP is about where he wants to be form-wise in the run-up to MSR, Ronde & Roubaix. He said himself that he has not felt he was peaking just yet.

has he taken Olympics out? (or are they cancelled?)

Pogacar is going to catch him at this rate

No he'll be racing MTB there after the TdF afaik

I think he left it a few KM too late to go all in. Impressive ride though.

He said he’s going to prepare for the TdF on a mountain bike.

Pretty sure Pogacar is a robot

MVDP has bonked hard.......
