Agree, he should DNS after stage 5

He doesn't even know what's wrong with him! He said in the pre stage 7 interview that he was feeling bad since stage 1 and that he will do blood analysis with the medical team to find out what's the problem. Starting to see that he may have some serious condition, It wasn't normal to be dropped...

He surely doesn’t have a roommate, a room only for himself.

BTW anyone knows why Mou was banned?

After what I saw from Evenepoel yesterday i'm all in into his fan club!! Love it, what a ******* legend!! Chapeau Evenepoel, chapeau!

The point is that it's simply unfair to have some teams doing their time trial with direct sunlight and others doing it in almost pitch black conditions! I think it's a no brainer!! Every team should have the possibility to do their time trial with the same light conditions! That would be easily...

Spot on by Evenepoel!! 100% with his views on this. It was ridiculous!

TY. Didn´t knew that there was such a rule for the TTT

Far from a spectacle, just finished watching the stage and I couldn't even see the course with the last teams. Broadcast also sucked...

Saw a brief resume of the stage and i'm confused to say the least... Can someone tell me what the hell happened? Saw some teams crossing the finish line with sunlight but also saw Movistar, UAE and Quickstep crossing the finish line at almost pitch-black conditions! How on earth could this be...

You're the man. ;)

Well that was precisely the context (iTT) in which Almeida compared the materials used nowadays in cycling to Formula1 tecnology and he is right spot on that

It was in a daily sports Portuguese newspaper "OJogo" and what he said was in the context of the iTT!

He just said that he will be at TDF with GC ambitions with or without Pogacar in the team and that Pogacar´s domestiques will be enough without him helping. Everyone knows, he knows it too, that if needed he will have to put aside his ambitions to help Pogacar. Nothing outrageous if you ask me...
