  • Did a Spandelles and Aubisque double years ago, from the opposite direction today. Spandelles was supposed to be the easy warm up with a 5.5% avg gradient. What that ended up with was a km of 3% then

    I think the people with the flares piss me off almost as much as anyone. Can you imagine struggling for air going up a 10% climb and sucking in a lung full of that crap.

  • I don't know how I missed that...  outstanding!

Didi sighting.

I thought he was either too old or died.  Good to see him jumping around out there.

I’m ready for Pog to take this shit over.  Jonas been talking shit since the rest day trying to get in his head because he knows Pog is going to mudhole him.

Jonas thinking about how he’s going to lose the yellow Jersey soon.

Pogacar's girlfriend is cute. She's a professional cyclist, too, and extremely fit.

She’s the only rider that can wear him out.

I should have taken my cycling much more seriously when I was a kid.  

Pogacar is surely going to attack at some point. The question is when. Kwiatkowski surely has the stage win at this point

They made it close, but it looks like he's going to hang on for the win.

But the lack of an attack thus far by Pogacar is a little surprizing. ...

 

Oh wait there it is.

I think he got 5" on the race and the 3rd place time bonus (4")

 

EDIT: 4" and 4" - 9" gap overall.

Pog putting the hammer down and chipping away; grabbed some time and doesn't have to defend yellow.

The dumb dildos that run alongside the riders as they go up this stage make me want to toss them over the side of the cliff. We'll get some moron who collides with a rider one of these days.

Pog doing the death by 1000 cuts method.

 

Perfect stage for Kwiato though, chapeau.

Surprised Pog didn't attack sooner. Tomorrow looks brutal, could be a deciding day.

Didn't it already happen this year? Hence the warnings.

Joux Plane is always a motherfucker.

 

I think Col de la Loze is going to be the decider though. Super long and high, and in the third week.

Agreed.  That’s where Pog take the final bite out of Jonas.

Cecile Ludwig is my favorite chick cyclist to watch.  

Jumbo Visma needs to move this speed skater over to the bike.

Not sure all those days of JV putting riders in the break paid off well today. UAE looking like le train bleu there up the Colombier but TP didn’t seem to have the legs to rip anyone apart. Hell of a burst though and Jonas can’t match it. Keep chipping away, maybe take a flier tomorrow for yellow or just have it be equal going into the TT and he’s got it. 
 

Still a great Tour though!

Question will be if JV can crack TP on a long climb as he is the more pure climber.  Plenty of those left and it only takes one HC to do it.  Otherwise I think TP takes it on the time trial.

Pog has never been faster than JV in a time trial at the end of a Grand Tour (per The Move). Found that surprising and interesting.

Yeah, but I can only think of 2 times they have raced against each other in a 3rd week TT.  In 2021, Pog had a 5 minute lead and was riding not to crash.  Jonas was racing to hold off Carapaz who was close in 3rd place.  Last year, Pog was out of gas from attacking to catch up all week (not to mention put himself in a hole chasing Roglic early in the Granon stage).  That’s kind of an aggy type stat.

This big ass crash delay sucks.

I think this idea that Pog can’t climb is overblown too.  Jonas is a great climber, but Pog is the modern cannibal and has won plenty of long climbs.  I still think that if he had just stuck in Jonas wheels on Granon stage last year we wouldn’t even be having this argument.  I could be wrong though, this tour will definitely show us the truth.  

Yikes. Meintjes out will collarbone from that one

Considering how big that crash was I’ll take it.  Nobody seriously injured and all the real contenders are OK.  I’ll bet Jonas doesn’t hang at the back anymore after that.

Looks like Hindley might be a little banged up.

Yeah I have not seen him, just a report. Chaves does looked fucked up though. I hear Kelderman banged up too

Watching Pidcock and Soler get shelled pleases me greatly

William Martin coming back with Yates group is rad too

I think I just saw a Voeckler for President sign lol.

 

I think I'd let Majka go if I was Jumbo
