An 8 for me. 1st week was excellent, then Kwiatkowski’s win on Grand Colombier (my fav !!) and Joux Plane stage were highlights of the 2nd week. Everyone was so hyped up for the final days and a GC battle for the ages..maan, such a shame. A week ago this really felt like it could’ve been the...

Le Tour is over. It was good, it will go down as a (I think) a memorable one. But how good was it? Was it better than last year? Where does it rank historically?

..No? It's a fantastic route

Also this stage is so good, one of the best designed TDF stages in a loong time for sure.

No way Wout competes with Pog and JV on a route like this. Actually, surely no one finishes this within a minute of those two. Tadej to win and get maillot jaune, Vingegaard 15-20s behind him. So roles reversed with basically the same, incredibly small gap before the queen stage. A.Yates 3rd on...

Unless anything crazy happens like in 2019, this Tour is on its way to being an all timer. And I have a strong feeling that the best is yet to come. I was strongly against the idea of just like 20kms of ITT in this Tour, but goddamn, now that tuesday's time trial makes me so pumped up lol...
