    Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 12 (Briançon – Alpe d’Huez, 165.1k)

    I'd say we have a good Pogi Vinge rivalry on our hands, but every year can bring a new contender of course...

    Pidcock will win if the break makes it. Otherwise Vingegaard for the 1-2

    If he's not i If he's not ill, this is a good opportunity for Pogacar to show what he's made of. Not giving up after such a massive disappointment, but fighting back till the end.

    Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 11 (Albertville – Col du Granon Serre Chevalier, 151.7k)

    Unless, I'm missing something, Vingegaard and his strong team are much too strong for the other riders in the tour, except for Pogacar, the only unknown quantity left. Jumbo should try to go for the jugular tomorrow and put much more time in to Pogacar. Pogacar is still dangerous when he's two...

    Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 11 (Albertville – Col du Granon Serre Chevalier, 151.7k)

    Love this. I really dislike boring procession tours with a patron like Indurain, Armstrong, Froome or Pogacar striking a decisive blow in the first mountain stage and then a procession towards Paris where the other riders are too afraid to attack. Vingegaard brought it to Pogacar with a massive...

    Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 11 (Albertville – Col du Granon Serre Chevalier, 151.7k)

    That was the other epic stage of the century, saw that one unfolding live too. Difference was that Froome, despite coming from behind, was the top dog in that field. Today we saw the dethroning of the champ who was supposed to be invincible, like Indurain in 96. Always a spectacular sight. That...

    Pogi smiling and congratulating Vinge. Now that's some spirit and sportsmanship!

    Tour de France Rate the 2021 Tour de France

    7. Great individual heroics, by Van Aert, Cavendish, Van der Poel, Pogacar and Vingegaard. But I can't be enchanted by a tour without suspense over the yellow jersey. For now, with Pogi we are back in Indurain/Armstrong/Froome territory. Pogi killed the yellow jersey war really soon and from...

    Miss this guy. Hope he will be back soon. But all good if he's done with cycling, whatever makes him happy.

    Teams & Riders Tom Dumoulin discussion thread

    Sad situation. It's been clear that he was struggling mentally and physically since 2019. Tom is a very sensitive man, not a robot or a killer. He has brought a lot of joy to many Dutch like me, and others as well. Dutch cycling hero. Could have been a TdF winner. All the best to you Tom, hope...
