imagine, without ineos we would have Valverde in the lead, with Kelderman in the same time, Chaves at 1 second, Almeida at 4, Carthy at 17, Kuss at 26 and Yates at 29 seconds

Imagine the smile of the lovechild of Chaves and Cecile...

 

[Fernandez]

Valverde could even get a podium here

Stage races nowadays look like this: Rog wins if he doesn't fall off his bike or meet Pog meanwhile Pog wins all the races he wants to. When there's no Pog or Rog, there's a bunch of Ineos riders ready.

I wonder how this race would have played out without the TT.

 

[Vasilis]

I wonder how this race would have played out without the TT.

Differently.

This new style of attacking racing really suits Ineos, very cool.

Kinda makes me wish Roglic was here to out-Ineos Ineos.

Remember the days when Karel Vacek was the only Junior who could drop Evenepoel?
Seems ages ago.

He's had stomach issues here since day 1 to be fair to him.

It was a strong ride by Chavez as it's hard to attack the Ineos train with 7kms to go - Chaves looks 2 to 3 kgs lighter which undoubtedly helps his performance.

New climbing record on Port Ainé: Chaves one minute faster than Quintana in 2016.

And no, the stage wasn't harder back then.

Ineos showing Movistar how to trident.

Tailwind, headwind, crosswind? Lighter brakes? Or are they just faster now?

Why doesn't Porte just attack Thomas for 2nd place.

He's back to slave-mode.

Strong showing by Chaves. Not easy to stay ahead of Ineos train at high speed. Today's finale was less interesting as ridiculously strong Ineos neutralised most attacks. Adam Yates' life can't be any better if his domestiques are a Tour winner, a Giro winner and a Tour podium finisher! No wonder Chris left: his domestiques became too strong and he wouldn't qualify even for a bidon delivery role!

This year's Tour will be clash of the titans (Ineos vs Jumbo-Visma) with poor Pogi somewhere in-between.

Breakaway tomorrow?

 

[Sciatic]

Enric Mas just said no mas.

You were waiting for that one, weren’t you?

 

[Mayomaniac]

You were waiting for that one, weren’t you?

No, I'd prefer him to make his opponents scream no mas

 

[Skalman]

Im so god damn happy!! way to turn the clock back Chaves, felt like 2015 again

 

[Pricey_sky]

He's back to slave-mode.

With his interview after the Tour in Paris it’s more ‘the easy life-mode’.

 

[Koronin]

Glad to see Chaves riding well again.
