it's up to youWho's the most combative today?
Someone who's pulling the peloton?
Right, that's what I said, or impliedYes, now he will lose the Tour because of that effort.
I think for Thomas the gap to the other GC riders might be more important than the gap to Pogacar...I think you need a maths lesson. Pog gained two seconds, Thomas one. The gap is the same as if Pog had won the sprint and Thomas had come second.
Yes? If it was a waste of energy, it implies that he needed to be conserving energy for something.Right, that's what I said, or implied
The most exciting thing today, so far.TV directors just randomly deciding to scare the commentators by showing a crash... from yesterday.
You clearly have not watched the stage, man.The most exciting thing today, so far.
Nope, what did I miss?You clearly have not watched the stage, man.
After the first intermediate sprint the group of 25 with almost all the sprinters was ahead by 1.5 minutes. Polti, Movistar and Bahrain had to chase full gas for 40 kilometers, in so doing splitting the bunch, with Uijdtebroeks, Lutsenko and Chaves behind, making their teams chase for about 15 kilometers until it all came back together.Nope, what did I miss?
Always hate having to leave the house right before the finish...
Pogi got 2 bonus seconds!Nope, what did I miss?
Indeed. Why is Bjerg on the back on such a stage and not shielding Pogacar? Really a chaos team for all the money...UAE are lucky Pogacar's positioning is pretty good, they're nowhere
To make it a 4 man sprint with a strong sprinter and the result is then more likely to be only a 1 second risk rather than potentially 3 seconds. Thomas & Swift grew up on the track, this is one way to race an intermediate for points, they just turn it to seconds that's all.Not much marginal gains for Ineos with that
