Landis was fine the day after the second rest day in 2006, which was then follow by the death and the great comeback. Pogačar also recovered quickly after his defeat on Marie-Blanque. Miracles, big or small, don't always require a rest day to occur.

Not only during the rest days... Of course it's easier when you have a full day schedule but you can make a minor adjustments to your body at night or even in the morning. Jonas needs to resurrect tomorrow and I believe he'll be ready.. to show the world that Tour is not over yet. 😁
Vingegaard deals in minutes, if he goes extraterrestrial next week the TT could be a victory lap. I don’t think it’ll happen for the record, but with the freaky stuff we’ve seen I no longer dan be surprised by anything.
Vingo in Polka Dots. Time to bring out his inner Rasmussen.
I take it back. It was just foolish confidence. Why the heck you would do that to yourself today I do not know.
While I don't want Jonas to win this Pog is too much still for me
Jonas is basically Rasmussen and Pog is Armstrong.
Cycling will never change.
taking 2 minutes off the field apart from Pog - he's clearly in top form. But Pog is in the form of his life - that was his best stage performance ever
He smashed Pantanis record, so the confidence was well placed. Astonishing performance given his injuries and interrupted preparation. His problem is that he’s up against an extra terrestrial alien.
They will still say that everything went as they had planned in the interviews regardless of the result...
For sure, but his plan was to drop him. Still a mega climb, not weak by any standard.
I thought Vingegaard would crush Pogacar eventually, but not so much anymore. Vingegaard tasting his own 'medicine' from last year with extra-extra terrestrial performances from Pogacar
Think about the fact about Vingegaard´s crash and how he did a micracle recovery and now think about that he would have beaten Armstrong... depiste that injury recovery so short before the tour..
Now think about Pog also taking 5 minuttes on Armstrong.
Something is not rotten in Denmark, something is rotten in Cycling and I fear there always will be.. but why not atleast have more contenders, atleast that would make most people forget all the silly and obvious stuff going on..
I hope he and Pogacar can be caught sooner than later. This is a joke
Poor Vinge. Seldom do you beat pantani's record and get a wet damp meh reaction
They are clearly only the tip of the iceberg, though. Someone will be best under the new conditions. I don't blame them more than the other dopers who clearly exist. It seems this is a general issue far transcending Visma and UAE.
As to being caught: If that happens I'd like it to happen in a way that all comes out and not again that some riders are sniped away, while the rest just continues as if nothing happened.
I was always doubting he would be able to win the Tour this year, even before the injury. Afterwards I also doubted he would even make the Tour team, as I thought, or at least hoped, there was some kind of upper limit to what Visma could achieve (they haven't made WVA a monument winning machine nor a GT leader (yet), for instance). So I am surprised that he's been able to reach this level now, which seems it would have been more than enough to secure victory a year ago.
After winning all three GTs last year, it was always gonna be hard for the team to improve/maintain their position, and they haven't exactly had luck on their side either this season. Whether they will be able to return to the throne in 2025, or they will start to lose more ground like we've seen with INEOS previously, we'll have to wait and see about.

No wonder VLAB were full of trash-talk in week one - they had something special cooked up for today. Unfortunately for them, UAE came with something stronger…
Vingo dropped an A-bomb today only to find out that Teddy brought an H-bomb.
