Thomas should be immediatelly DSQ

I like that Martin at least trying something. Maybe Enric Mas or Lutsenko could put UAE more under pressure today. Even if probably would not work.

Ok, It was just incredible from Pogacar. I can't imagine how He could lose to anyone. I hope next year he will go for Giro/Tour double.

I think quite much people are too overhype about Pogacar And roglic for this yeah TDF and also in general. There Is no guarantee that one of them will be able to win race And be consistent in years to come. Pogacar won just one GT mostly by Roglic tactical mistake. Lets not make legend from him...

And last year TdF was of course parade of multiple GT winners such Porte, Landa, Mas and Lopez from 3rd to 6th place overall :) Just remember Roglic in Giro 2019 got beaten quite easilly in Mountains.

I am not sure, that Bernal care about Vuelta at all. His heart is much closer to Italy where he began to race and Giro is far more famous race then Vuelta.

I have mixed feelings with giro route. After some years, I like to see proper dolomite stage to Cortina, which is very nice. In last 10 years, I think Apenines stages are most interesting this time. Also I expected some harder queen stage in proper alps like Fauniera/morti climb which would be...

Problem in last years is that cycling changed a lot. Every year is harder to make some decent time gaps even in really tough mountain stages. Reasons are different e.g. riders like Pantani, Contador etc. are gone and nobody want to take risk and make race selective earlier then 3km to go then...

I rate 5 Very nice stage on Ventoux, I like more downhill finish then uphill because it usually produce better race. Pretty nice pyrenees, 2 very hard stages on the end. rest of Tour is just not interesting, quite no Alps because stage to Tignes is too easy to produce gaps, Grand Bornard...

But point of zlev11 Is absolutelly right. Cycling Is going each year worse way. Cyclist are crying each year for lesser reasons. Weather, lenght, dangerous downhills etc. In this way we Will end up with ridiculous 75km stages which Is lenhgt I usually raced when I was 15. Not really quality...

It is a pitty that they did not raced today, I expected more after yesterday. Very nice mountain stage wasted. Probably noone of GC riders believe in himself

I gave 9, I likes a lot mountain stages there Is also enough TT, no TTT And nice stages in first week, only thing I do not like Is that 3 day waste of time in crapy

I would say Simon Yates performance was a dissapointment againist odds he should be one of biggest Giro climbers, then ofc Bernal but it happens that you are not able to even ride, I would like to see him in Giro mountains, then probably Lopez

I love style Carapaz Is racing he Is well deserved winner of Giro
