    Lidl seems to have one of the best atmospheres in the peloton, not only among the riders but also within the staff. It’s clear to me that there are both strong one-to-one relationships in the team and also great group dynamics (Milan's train with Consonni, Mads's classics team, Ciccone-Verona...

    I expect Lidl to go for the intermediate sprint with Ciccone for the red jersey. Basically, they can try to drop Philipsen on the climb while also catching the breakaway for the bonus seconds. Visma seems to want this too.

    Why doesn't Merlier try for the points classification?

    I find it incredible how fast the pace has been so far in this Tour. They are riding at full speed. It feels like the guys are going as fast as they can possibly pedal even though if physically some still have reserves. Yesterday too.

    Actually Vacek was still at front controlling the pace. Probably the other teams did not knew Pedersen is so much at the back with Vacek going full gas. Coming back to Vacek wheel and Vacek still being capable to do a lead-out after 2km in front of a finish stage was impressive.

    Vacek was fantastic. And how Pedersen recovered 20 position in one corner?
