Valverde, doping since Forever!

Bernal is out for a while as well due to injury.

He's so dreamy.
WAAAAAY cooler than MvdP.

¡Vamos Nairito!

No gloves. Nailsro.

He’s got trainers on, he’s probably just stepped off the nice, warm dry bus to sign on.

I bet he looked like the Michelin Man on the start line.

Sign on.

I'm guessing he's not keeping the sneakers on either...

EDIT: What @andyp said

He’s got trainers on

Even harder.

Oh ye of little faith.

No gloves. Nailsro...

"Quintana said the conditions were not too dangerous because the finish was at the summit and all the riders quickly jumped into team buses and cars to get warm"

"Today it was okay. It was a simple climb and so it didn’t harm us. But climbing and descending all day in the rain is different and some consideration for us would be good"

Luke Rowe solo attack with 90km to go!

I feel like he attacked out of boredom.

u mad? who cares about dreaminess, MVDP does tailwhips.

Needs the training.
Or wants to get warm.

Valverde not there to make up the numbers then.

WVA having a bit of a mare

QSF are too good. I know Ronde is a very different race to anything that’s gone so far, but they’re going to take some beating.

Then come the Ardennes classics and they unleash Alaphilippe.

Nice dismount.

Valverde 11th... Flanders could be interesting.

Also praying WVA is good.

Lampaerr proper just looked over his shoulder, saw they were fucked and then rode away. Good racing in foul conditions.

Looked over his shoulder and saw he had the length he needed

Vanmarcke not too eager to jump after his fellow countryman, as he insinuated in post race interview too... The others waiting just a little too long. I was jumping up and down and shouting for Teunissen to win of course, looked very strong in sprint for 2nd

The overhead shot made it look like Vanmarcke was going to go to close Lampeart down, but Teunissen drifted right and blocked him from making that move.
