Another French fave down - Roman Bardet into the hedges.  Is back & pedalling. 

Will be needing a new pair of shorts, though.

I might have missed a few days, today I have good hope for good points with Cavagna, Schachmann and Martinez all in the breakaway

EF set it all up well, got three credible guys in the break, now Powless immediately breaks and gets a lead.

 

ES Comms talking about Powless being the first Native American to......not quite guys, Native  maybe, Quintana & Bernal and no doubt guys going back to the 80s were Natives.

Looks good for Schachmann, but 15k solid climbing to go.

 

French hopes sliding away one by one.

 

Race will be  v  , or Cumbia versus Polkas.

Dani Martinez perfect trick in a 3 card monte of Bora.

 

 

Bora must be really cursed the most unlucky team of this tour....

I understand Colombia, but Slovenia is super weird. Small (2 million people) + poor + no tradition -> Completely destroying all the big countries (Spain, France, Netherlands, Germany, GB, Italy)

+ a ski jumper killing everyone in the biggest cycling race of the world is .. well...quite unusual

Yeah, Slovenia is not poor. At all.

I did find out that Powless’ mother was a Olympian in 1992 today. She ran for Guam in the marathon. So there’s your fun fact of the day courtesy of the peeps over at Olympedia.
