I know some posters won't like it but IMHO great to see Laporte gift the podium to riders from 3 different continents.

His training will get tougher once the kid inevitably grows and gains weight, look out peloton!

Vingegaard was really strong and almost paced his effort optimally, but in the end he ended up slowing down so Laporte started his sprint from too low a speed.

Grondin has beaten the time cut by 41 seconds after his cramp troubles.

Good to see Grondin still in the polka dots, the cramp he had looked really bad.

He wouldn't have beaten Alaphilippe regardless, though.

Glad Ala took it. Although I wouldn't have minded Carapaz as well... He had Carapaz' wheel the whole time, a very good wheel...

Com on Ala, grab the old man by balls (as Pat himself would say)!

I was hopeful today for him, but alas. If teams drill it tomorrow on the shallow climb it can be difficult.

Today was 10 times harder than tomorrow and he actually did pretty good. That climb is also just not hard at all. It's long, but that because there's 5km of false flat in between 2 km's at 6%. I don't think he drops. No Ineos here to drill it for Hayter. Will have to come from Jumbo but I don't think they will. Full on bunchsprint tomorrow imo.

That steeper section needed to be a little slower. Vingegaard isnt winning a sprint of 50 guys.
Laporte was fried. Getting beaten by guys like Carapaz doesn't come down to "starting speed too low". His kick was not there

Better don't mention Astana, who have to rely on Cav in 2023 for gt stage wins, to me. How the mighty have falllen...

Really happy for Ala. I'd be so glad if he could get a Tour stage win.

Glad he made it. Did Castroviejo have a similar problem, he came in over 13 minutes down?

Yes, there were four riders who were visibly cramping, and they finished as the last four on the day. It was quite a sight.
