And of course, he's got every jersey now!

I love it when a break pays off! Congrats BVM!

What happened to McNulty tho?

Guessing there's something wrong or they did that on purpose and going for a stage win later in the race/hiding him a bit for the Tour. Very unexpected though, my post about him getting a top 10 is well off anyway

Sometimes you just gotta love him.

Sounds like a thread title to me.

But RhD actually beat him to it, so his statement is clearly wrong!

One talented rider without enough ambition was enough imo.

It looked like he had a bad day. Was shaking head in frustration as he was dropped on the final climb. Maybe illness, as normally he would cruise in with the peloton on a stage like today’s…

Bad news for you people. Thiem just lost the first round of RG so I'll have a lot more time watching cycling the next two weeks.

Yes... but you wouldn't! Riiiiiight?

Like TdG put it in his tweet, vintage TdG win nicely coated with yellow. Lovin'it.

Watch as much cycling as possible, then retreat when the Tour starts, please.

Well reading this and I'm starting to wonder whether next gens inability to regularly step up to the plate has a different reason than I'd presumed...

I thought the insanity was bad when I saw LOTR memes on a cycling forum.

Thiem fanboyism is an even darker path.

Sooooo I need to get in Dauphine mood. What are the expectations for today? Haven't checked profiles and startlist accurately so far.

What's enough ambition? TDG seems to have had a great career, had a great time doing it and given everyone great entertainment. Not everyone is as ill adjusted enough to have had a career like Chris Froome.

I had never been so disinterested in the Dauphine. So strange. The mountains are always good in this race. Maybe we get a good race here.

Definitely it would be an informative event. Getting ready after having hot shower would be energizing. Learn more about this.

Looks like a harder version of yesterday's stage so either breakaway win or a reduced bunch sprint. Small chance of GC action on that 2nd cat I guess but if there's bunch action, I'm expecting it to be hilly classic guys here than GC guys.

 

[DJ Sprtsch]

Today's stage could be really good

 

[gregrowlerson]

Mads Pederson FTW

 

[titan31]

If this was later in the race, I'd 100% expect a GC battle. Just can't see it this early but hopefully I'll be surprised. Tomorrow being the easiest stage of the race might make them likelier hopefully

 

[RedheadDane]

Mads Pedersen FTW

FIFY.
However, I don't think that's very likely. He was over 14 minutes behind yesterday, and today's stage looks somewhat more hilly.

Hmmm....saving himself for the breakaway today, or yeah, just possibly horrible form.
