The break will never win because quick step always 'honours the jersey'.

Remco’s crash (looks a bit harder than just kissing the asphalt):

Yikes ! That was not nothing.

Another reason Remco and Roglic have a shared thread…

I couldn’t tell what caused the crash

Today or tomorrow Teddy will finish a stage chatting with Milan (and OTL) trolling the whole cycling world and making Visma-LAB think they are unbeatable. The effect at the Tour will be magnified when the troll strikes hard...

would be nice if Bardet got the chance to get a final victory, but looks like the break won't get much freedom.

Maybe he should have lost some time on purpose earlier on, but if Pogacar wants to win, I guess it wouldn't change much anyway

 

[Froome]

I hope you are right, but my gut feeling is they all want to save their doms for the next 2 days, where they can be used to much greater tactical effect - and none of the big 3 are here for stage wins, they are here for the overall.

I think we could se a quite sizeable break today, because a lot of teams will view it as their last chance - Sunday looks possible for the break on paper, but it won't be with the final GC to be decided.

According to PCS, Visma already pulling in the peloton.

 

[broppo]

Visma and UAE pulling. There should be a nice showdown!

Quite Prophetic.

Quite Prophetic.

Pogi after the stage: Milan is such a nice guy and it was a relaxing stage: his zone 5 is my zone 1....

He said he just went down. Spoke as if it was his own fault.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Yeah MVdP in the break

 

[Lequack]

Pog said yesterday he received updates over the radio on how Urska was going at the women's Tour de Suisse. The ultimate fan.

Deranged fan

 

[noob]

I really don't like that ad for tdf Eurosport 1 is running. It's such a weird ad.

Pogi or someone on the street?

Pogi or someone on the street?

As far as I can see Pogi is on the street too?

 

[RedheadDane]

Tullett with a close save.

That one Visma rider was in the grass briefly.

 

[Boehmand]

Surprised Visma is pulling this hard - but great for the race, it means we will definitely get GC action today

 

[Tim Cahill]

Huge pace already, they aren't messing about

 

[Boehmand]

I am wondering it the Visma plan is to launch Jorgenson early, to force Pogacar and Evenepoel to chase with Vingegaard on the wheel?

 

[Potomac]

Holy cow...kicking off

 

[Lorzenz08]

The steam train is launched

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Bardet hopefully saving himself and not truly done already.
