Blimey. Thats unbelievable from Alaphillipe

 

[Laplaz]

Unbelievable

 

[DenisMenchov]

I thought about betting on Ala when I saw De Gendt smashing it. @19...

Congrats, great ride

 

[JosephK]

The French are going to go insane. I love it.

Alaphilippe is just a *** great rider.

 

[Aristarchus]

Ala is beyond belief. Can he last in the high mountains, I wonder.

 

[RedheadDane]

I thought Alaphilippe was supposed to limit his losses on the ITT, not gain time!

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Re:

Tour next year will have 20 hilly stages, no long mountains

Wait till he drops everyone on Tourmalet tomorrow

 

[tobydawq]

Well I guess my talkings-up of Alaphilippe's chances yesterday don't loon too bad now. Jeeeeeeesus, what a performance!

 

[Cinemaniak]

I see another 'Rasmussen'-story developing this Tour. The guy who also wasn't considered to be in the race for yellow

 

[JosephK]

Pinot only gives up 35 seconds to a crazy-strong G. But that spilt milk (1:40) still hurts.

 

[memyselfandI]

Just a bit good to be true tbo..

 

[krakenKE]

Chapeu to Alaphilippe, what a ride. I doubt he can hold it to Paris but I will certainly hope and cheer for him to make it.

 

[JosephK]

Ala! Now get some of that Carapaz mojo!

 

[PremierAndrew]

This reminds me of Simon Yates at the Giro last year. I think he'll be in yellow after tomorrow but end up cracking the final week

Re:

Except for one major detail; Alaphilippe can stay upright on a TT bike...

Also, btw:

I'm not sure it was wise by DQ to make Asgreen work so much in the previous stages - it may cost them a stage win today ..?

Keeping yellow is more important any day

Yeah, I was about to say that. They got two stage wins, and several days in yellow; I think they'll manage…

Re:

Bernal is not going to podium in Paris. I don't see him beating the likes of Kruijswijk, Buchmann, Pinot and Mas.

This message will age well

 

[Lequack]

He would be the most popular winner in the last decade or more, not since Cadel Evans.or Contador.

 

[JosephK]

Bernal back to mere mortal status. Not a bad ride for him, though.

I thought it was bad for him!

Man uran could have been in a really nice position if he had not lost time in the windy stage

Rigo looks like he's up for the fight. Nice to see this.
