Strong win by Paret-Peintre. Gutsy ride by Tratnik. GC action minimal. Bardet makes up a few minutes and rode well.
That was a great performance by VPP.

However, on a serious note: He looks like he has an eating disorder. He makes Bardet look bulky, and that's no mean feat. VPP is listed as 1.76 m and a mere 52 kg. That cannot be healthy.

Congratulations to Valentin Paret-Peintre for winning the stage.

Was cheering for Tratnik but in the end the pure climbers took over. Bardet fought, Cian might be sick or affected by the rest day. The rest of the GC bunch already thinking about the Tour.

It can't be too unhealthy if you can ride a bike so fast.

bardet saying the stages for him are on the way ? Not feeling good today after rest day

But he wont be given chances in 7th now
No, but if he can stay with the leaders he can move up by attrition. He's 1:10 from O'Connor and Cian is looking less robust than some of the others. O'Connor may well have a bad day, too.

Martinez riding very defensively. I don't blame him, He is in prime position for second and 1st is out of reach anyway. He is also saving himself for a rainy day!
He is looking like Hindley in first half of Giro22, riding aparently efortless like he shouldn´t exceed certain watts. Maybe is a Bora Trademark or something, but of course this time they face Pogacar not a human like Carapaz.

Great win for VPP, gutsy ride from Tratnik and Bardet as well.

Among the GC riders interesting to see that young rides Uijtdebroeks and Arensman were the ones that suffered the most.
this route is a joke lol. another 5 days until the next GC day.
4 days and stage 12 could be a GC day too.

Decathlon today first and fifth from the breakaway, first and tenth from the peloton.

Already 15 wins this season.

I might just have to take a look at those Van Rysel bikes when I'm searching for a new road bike.

Come on, he was 21 years old when he shot a cat for fun. Not exactly an innocent adolescent or something like that.
I never shot a cat, or anything remotely as bad as that, but at 21 we can still make dumb decisions. Your brain isn’t fully developed until 25, and even though I’m in my thirties I still feel I learn and grow as a person every year
