It was a clever move by van Aert. By starting his sprint early, he also blocked Sagan.SKSemtex said:Wout is amazing. Congrats.
Sagan let himself closed.
Very bed sprint from him. He should have been on Viviani's weel.
JosephK said:When all is said and done, no matter one's feelings about Ineos, they showed exactly why they are totally prepared to win this tour. A magnificent job by those guys. Separately, this is turning into a spectacular Tour for Jumbo Visma. Wonder Wout takes it in a great finish.

Finn84 said:The last time four different riders from a team won a stage in Tour was 1997 with Festina-Lotus: Brochard, Rous, Stephens and Virenque.
Jumbo-Visma has a chance with three in a bag. Martin in TT or Kruijswijk/Bennett in the mountains?
Cance > TheRest said:A really really bad day for the GC of this race.
Fuglsang, Pinot, Porte, Uran and Landa had all looked solid in GC with the ability to challenge INEOS before this day.
Now, the only riders within a short time distance to challenge INEOS are riders who cannot win the race...

Can't wait to MvDP decides to ride the Tour. Next year, I hope!
Danskebjerge said:Bolder said:One lesson from USPS and Sky is "always ride at the front."
And so Astana had Cort in the front of the peloton in the first half of the stage, not being able to help his captain when it mattered in the end.

He isn't riding the TDF next year! Poulidor said so last week, and Mathieu confirmed it yesterday or the day before.Salvarani said:His team has to be invited first or whoever he will be riding for next year.
Unfortunately, they don't really have the team to do so.Broccolidwarf said:On a positive note, Astana is now forced to attack the mountains hard.

movingtarget said:EF start the move and lose their team leader, Porte asleep at the wheel as usual.Pinot finding new ways to ruin his race. Hard to believe experienced riders keep getting caught out like that. At least George Bennett can have a laugh. Wrong time to do a bottle run...........
And also i don't think that Fuglsang is good enough to make things interesting.Hugo Koblet said:Unfortunately, they don't really have the team to do so.Broccolidwarf said:On a positive note, Astana is now forced to attack the mountains hard.

jaylew said:I really hope this isn't the stage that killed the race. Ineos looking good for two podium places with Yates and Nairo the main challengers. Jumbo has been incredible. 4 wins from 3 different riders and the TTT.
