  • 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!

Pog looks like he’s riding around his neighborhood whereas Jonas is out of the saddle.

Pog gonna hit him over and over

Is there any advantage on the decent?

I think Pog keeps it together because he can outsprint him at the line for bonus seconds.

Rodriguez having a hell of a Tour

The US feed is acting up. We lost Bob & Phil. They are using the video from the world feed too. 

I like the stats (speed & gradient).

I almost got hit by one of those in Alpe d’Huez.  It’s hard to see them coming when you’re in the crowd

After surviving the Sky years, this kind of racing is a revelation. Takes me back to the Lemond days even

Holy crap what an epic stage that was. Pogo and Vingo mano y mano. A death match. Vingo gains one second on Pogo.

Except for the fucking motorcycles.  Pog had that sprint.

The motorcyles etc.. are just part of it. It could just as easily have been a fan, a musette, an inopportune water bottle etc...  The tour is a moveable feast.

From the reddit prediction thread for tomorrow lol

It’s another Vingo Pogi battle, everybody on edge going faster than ever. they climb and climb, eventually they hit the peak but keep climbing, into the sky, ripping a hole in space time they fuse together, creating vengaboy. Teleported to 1999 they find themselves climbing Alpe d'huez - they see him.. it’s Lance! Game on, they ride - but he is simply too strong.

Everything seems lost, but then, in the distance they see a boney shadow.

It’s GC Kuss - who’s been right behind them all this time. Elegantly he dances ahead of Lance and takes the stage.

 

What a ducking stage. Amazing Tour at stage 14. Jonas rode well today, really well. Maybe not the script JV had been taking up - they didn’t drop TP but Jonas limited the damage. 
 

Gonna be a great weekend.

Fucking spectator

Fucking idiots. How much more close to the riders do you need to be? That shit is so dangerous and hopefully that doesn’t end up putting any riders out. Those things are hard to forget. Besides the recent ones like “sign lady,”  I still vividly remember Thor Hushovd in a sprint finish wearing the yellow jersey getting lacerated by a spectator holding out one of those green PMU fans, and of course that Armstrong guy getting his handlers snagged on a spectators cheap musette in the way up Luz Ardiden. Kinda surprised we haven’t seen any significant jackassery or race interference involving drones. 

Watching the replay literally everyone in that area was on the course side of the barriers. It's insane.

LOL ... I'm old enough to remember when the cyclists (Hinnault) would fight the fans. Remember when Contador punched that guy?

Third week Wout showed up a day early

Hinault was tougher than the striking dock workers.

Lol Yatesy

Yeah wtf is he doing. He might show JV he can make a move. 

Last 2 days have to be frustrating for Pog, JV just sticks to his wheel.

Just now, Captain Ron said:

Pogacar doesn’t look great. JV should see if he can gap him. 

He looked very off yesterday body language wise. Thousand yard stare and not his usual joie d vivre. Will have to see how the rest day treats him, but I have pretty much been skeptical he can last three weeks after his lack of prep. I still think the Col De la Loze is going to be the Tour.

I think it's going to come down to the TT

Lots of twists and turns in the race. A few days Pogacar looked like it was just a matter of time before he took yellow. Now Vingegaard seems to have the answers for him.

Week three is going to be interesting.

It's way too short imo. But we are fixing to find out

It’s going to be intriguing. With the margin just 10”, it could change things some. What is the weather forecast?

Yeah it definitely can. I suspect we see a swing of multiple minutes up on the Loze though.

I think it is an advantage to go last in the race of truth, so Jonas holding on to yellow is a pretty big deal.
