Chess for advanced students (without manual): how the minefield of Visma-Lease a Bike was completely dismantled

“They are already taking on the Duvel. Consequently, This will be a memorable stage!”

José De Cauwer is too licked by what he sees after about 45 kilometers: a battlefield with chess advanced students (without manual): a surprising troublemaker.

As expected. Consequently, Lidl-Trek can roll the red carpet for Jonathan Milan, but immediately after the intermediate sprint (after 23 kilometers) Tim Wellens and Wout van Aert start on the furious “true” opening phase.

With a few more people on the luggage rack. However, the advanced pawns of UAE Team Emirates and Visma-Lease A Bike put their teeth in the Glandon, but Wellens is going too fast for Van Aert.

He tells in his radio that he dissolves, making Matteo Jorgenson at the little feathers. Moreover, The American shifts when Godbetert Primoz Roglic shakes on the tree. Meanwhile,

Still 128 kilometers and Roglic steamed by Aert. Moreover, With Jorgenson and an extra trice he picks up at Wellens in the leading group. Therefore, 1-1, both teams have their satellite rider.

On to the foot of the Madeleine, who reaches Jorgenson in the wake of Thymen Arensman. Nevertheless, Roglic is not too far.

While Wellens pays a price for his efforts. Nevertheless, he can no longer follow Roglic and Jorgenson, Visma-Lease A Bike also has the best papers in the favorite group.

Jonas Vingegaard is surrounded by 5 team mates (Van Aert, Benoot, Campenaerts, Kuss and S.Yates), Tadej Pogacar sees 3 more pawns around him (Soler, Narvaez and A.Yates).

“There is not many people here anymore. I mainly see yellow and black,” says José De Cauwer.

After Van Aert, Tiesj Benoot and Victor Campenaerts put on a hell pace. Wellens is flooded.

They are satisfied in the Dutch tracking car. “We wanted to make a hard course on the Madeleine and we did that,” said Simon Yates afterwards.

“I felt good and the team too. We had big plans and we wanted to start early”, Vingegaard would explain.

Another 6 kilometers to the top of the Madeleine and it is now scorching fast.

Sepp Kuss winds his moped as in his best days. Vingegaard likes to see it happen, Pogacar is shifting.

Just before the banner of the last 5 kilometers, Vingegaard shoots a first rocket.

“He keeps a word”, our commentators are enthusiastic.

In no time the Dane. the Slovenian are in the wheel of the group with Jorgenson and Roglic.

The American knows what to do: driving. It will remain with that one fusée for the time being.

The Col de la Madeleine has not triggered a landslide.

Team leader Grischa Niermann: “Tadej did not shrink. Even faster attacks, that was not easy. We did everything we could. Either we were not strong enough. Either the competition was too strong.”

“Full gas! Matteo goes à bloc in the descent,” Pogacar reports to his tracking car.

Visma-Lease A Bike has already served Pogacar a few times in a descent. does not give him a second chess advanced students (without manual): rest either.

But in the valley towards the final climb it stops and the poker starts. Ben O’Connor and Einer Rubio jump away because of the rivalry. Jorgenson is the third cowboy.

Pogacar only visits Vingegaard, the Dane is trapped in no man’s land. They just let Florian Lipowitz drive away.

“What is the tactic of Visma-Lease a Bike now?” José De Cauwer asks himself. “This is not what they expected.”

Niermann: “We wanted to get Matteo first. That was possible as a satellite rider. for the victory, but it was clear that we would not take 15 kilometers in the lead if nobody wanted to take over. The rest did not work, so Matteo was addressed.”

Yates: “It was a bit confusing. Our radios did not work well and we didn’t know what was happening in the front.”

chess advanced students (without manual):

Vingegaard: “Every teammate was 100 percent behind our plan. That also motivates me if they work that way for me.”

Another 26 kilometers. we reach the foot of the Col de la Loze: Jorgenson, Rubio and O’Connor have 1’02 “on the laughing Lipowitz.

Pogacar, Vingegaard and Roglic stand still. The backlog suddenly amounts to 4 minutes and both tenors now have a few returned servants.

In the front they kiss both of their hands for the minutes with a bow around. Certainly O’Connor, who starts a solo at 15 kilometers from the top.

When Visma-Lease A Bike. Vingegaard realize that chess advanced students (without manual): this is not their day, Pogacar puts his men to work for a while.

Niermann: “The plan was good, but Tadej and his team were too strong. The boys fought super.”

In the penultimate kilometer, Vingegaard still feels obliged to accelerate, but there is not enough power on it.

Pogacar is still booking a moral victory in the final kilometer. runs away for 11 seconds after his classic end shot.

Vingegaard and his team are left empty -handed. “But we were matched. The Tour is not over yet.”

Niermann: “Whether it is decided? No, Friday is a new day. We keep fighting, but it will be very difficult.”
