Where's Jonas, and R&R?

Crying into their popcorn

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pogacar is going to win just 2 minutes. He is fading a lot I think

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Arensmen doesn't work for his leader Thomas?

 

[AnotherArmChair]

O'Connor has been found out.

TT yesterday took too much ?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Where's Jonas, and R&R?

Still celebrating dropping Pogacar by 7 minutes and winning the Tour the last time they raced I'd imagine

 

[Salvarani]

Incredible!

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Amazingly Steinhauser is still 3rd for now.

He's held on very well, chapeau!

 

[titan31]

Such a boring sport when you only get one of the top GC guys turning up. Even if Kuss was here, maybe this wouldn't be as bad.

 

[Movitrain]

Sigh... at least a very promising performance by Nairo, I am happy with that.

 

[Gratemans]

The roaring of that crowd

 

[Didinho]

Pogi zig zagging. I guess Mauri will turn around a couple times.

I dont care what anyone says he will pay for this at the Tour

Vinge and Rog love this

Totally disagree. It's a long ways to the Tour, and his investment in this ride today pays off by letting him finish the rest of the race riding like 'Il Patrono'. He gets to be 'The Cannibal next week without actually being a cannibal; everyone will know he could win any hard stage he wanted to next week at will, so he doesn't actually have to waste energy going for any more stages than he already has. Total win-win for him. No one is even going to dream of attacking him; he can just monitor what podium riders are left and watch the peons fight for stage wins. He's winning this in the TT's, and a big day today (which also has the added effect of reducing/eliminating talk of this being a panache-free win), and barring accident zero drama for him in the week to come.

This is what he needed to do today and he did it in as spectacular a fashion as possible given the opposition.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Where's Jonas, and R&R?

Currently searching the web for new fields of employment.

 

[iBanesto]

This finish is crazy steep after 6 hours of riding.

 

[Salvarani]

Amazing, what a win!

 

[ppanther92]

Pogacar is going to win just 2 minutes. He is fading a lot I think

What are you watching?

 

[Gigs_98]

Show the Thomas group you fools

 

[Salvarani]

6 minutes ahead now as promised by our mou

 

[Red Rick]

Quintana celebrating 2nd and hes not even wrong

 

[Didinho]

Quintana the real winner.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Well held from O'Connor I think, he was looking shaky for a bit

 

[ppanther92]

So, they usual pre race suspects seem to be at least the strongest for the podium - Thomas, Martinze, O'Connor. Somehow hoped on Tiberi or so as dark horse.

 

[Jack_89]

This is one of the most impressive mountain climbing show I've ever seen.

 

[Gigs_98]

Bardet showing the pointlesness of attacking the Sky train like it's 2017.

 

[Red Rick]

Thomas attacking the most mythic moment today
