Can't wait to watch elextric Double drop all these visma clowns like a 2019-22 Simon Yates

That's how we do it man!

Double takes it all. Entertaining race today.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Tappa e maglia!!

 

[yaco]

Imagine that Jayco will take Double to either the Cro race or Guangxi or both. Double was super strong today.

 

[Red Rick]

Remember when Blobloblo was looking good for Kigali?

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Remember when Blobloblo was looking good for Kigali?

In fairness Blobloblo killed himself on the penultimate climb putting everything into trying to drop everyone. Only Double made it over the summit with him, and even that was after nearly dropping on two occasions. Visma did a horrendous job today tactically.

 

[Potomac]

Healy .... go for the win!

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Lux, stage:

1	Grégoire Romain	Groupama - FDJ	20	30		4:10:56

3	Remijn Senna	Alpecin - Deceuninck	10	12		0:55
4	McNulty Brandon	UAE Team Emirates - XRG	5	7		,,
5	Carapaz Richard	EF Education - EasyPost	3	4		,,
6	Paret-Peintre Aurélien	Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team		3		,,
7	Hirschi Marc	Tudor Pro Cycling Team		2		,,
8	Skjelmose Mattias	Lidl - Trek		1		,,

Gregoire just too strong on this type of finish. Congrats with the 2nd stage win of this tour.
McNulty wins GC.

 

[RedheadDane]

De Bondt, Vermeersch, and Dutch Van der Tuuk in the front in d'Isbergues.

 

[Cycling111]

This is the second overall that McNulty has won without winning a stage.

The desperate hunt for UCI points continues at Gooikse Pijl. In the rain too.

[RedheadDane]

Kooij on fire.
Nasty crash...

Well, Coquard looked more angry than hurt.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Kooij on fire.
Nasty crash...

Because of the crash? Would be a very nasty crash.

 

[RedheadDane]

Because of the crash? Would be a very nasty crash.

"On fire" in the figurative sense...

Kogut wins in Belgium

BTW, @YavorD... do you still think Denmark is winning too much these days?

 

[Rob5091]

Kogut wins a very messy sprint at Gooikse Pijl (riding for the team that we dare not name)

 

[yaco]

What a random result. And Kogut outclassed the field.

 

[RedheadDane]

Rnk	Rider	Team	UCI	Pnt
1	Kogut Oded	Israel - Premier Tech	125	75
2	Groenewegen Dylan	Team Jayco AlUla	85	55
3	Thijssen Gerben	Intermarché - Wanty	70	40
4	Meeus Jordi	Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe	60	32
5	Bittner Pavel	Team Picnic PostNL	50	28
6	Biesterbos Frits	BEAT Cycling Club	40	24
7	Wærenskjold Søren	Uno-X Mobility	35	20
8	Fretin Milan	Cofidis	30	18
9	Teutenberg Tim Torn	Lidl - Trek	25	16
10	Feldmann Karsten Larsen	Team Coop - Repsol	20	14

Apart from Kogut, some fairly well-known names, and then...

BIESTERBOS!

 

[RedheadDane]

Pogi. Don’t look back.

I'd hardly call the World Championships "lesser known".

 

[tobydawq]

It's Tim Cahill's favourite rider, Bart Lemmen. He used to be an airplane.

I don't think this intelligence is accurate.

 

[tobydawq]

Because of the crash? Would be a very nasty crash.

They tell me the disc brakes can heat up quite a bit.

 

[tobydawq]

Even this thread couldn't keep up with the insanity that was today's schedule. No mention of Scaroni or whatever happened with Kooij and Brennan in France?
