Hmmmm....could be. He was on that wheel for a while. I think rather Vingo just ground him down like he did with Roglič. I mean one could say a combo of both, and that's probably not wrong, but that wasn't a very long acceleration.If he survives the steep part (about 500 metres more or so), he's good. Exploding like that towards Vingegaards wheel instead of being right on it might very well have costed him those 31 seconds today.
He really said that? I mean great, love the confidence and he's a champion so he has to believe it, but...nah.Remco: "Jonas dropped me today, maybe tomorrow it will be the other way around"

Just thinking about what CR would have to do to make this a battle. So Remco is like 3:47 up on Rodriguez with a tough TT to come? Remco took 1:27 out of him on the last one?I am expecting him to lose some time to Rodriguez tomorrow (anything from 10 seconds to a minute doesn’t seem unrealistic) and really kickstart the battle for 3rd in the last week. So far everything been looking good for Remco, but Rodriguez looks better and better and the big mountains is where he shines.
Even without the off day I could see Rodriguez or others taking a minute or more per stage for each of those 3 now that the race is getting deeper in. He needs to not get ahead of himself and stick to his own race but should be good for 3rdNobody in the field from 4th place is good enough to put that amount of time on Remco, the thing that can beat him, is having his regular day off in the high mountains. But he has been riding pretty conservatively until now preserving energy. Or maybe UAE deciding the tour is won and getting Yates or Almeida on a break, that could hurt him to. Only 3 more stages to survive.
His regular day off in the high mountains. Could you please point out those regular occurrences?Nobody in the field from 4th place is good enough to put that amount of time on Remco, the thing that can beat him, is having his regular day off in the high mountains.

If he feels good and thinks he can drop others he’ll attack but otherwise he’ll followSo, is he happy now with his 3rd spot, or will he go for Vingo in second? Is he gonna fight for something better or stick with what he's got and defend. He's done well so far, so he could try and pressure Vingo (or even Pog if he has a bad day), knowing he still has time in hand plus an ITT to come. Stick or twist? I'm hoping for Rodriguez to have a good day today, to keep Remco on his toes, along with Almeida.
Love to be proven wrong. Remco defending his third place like a boss and Landa is the best Spaniard!I am expecting him to lose some time to Rodriguez tomorrow (anything from 10 seconds to a minute doesn’t seem unrealistic) and really kickstart the battle for 3rd in the last week. So far everything been looking good for Remco, but Rodriguez looks better and better and the big mountains is where he shines.
16 monthsHe is not the first of the humans, he is the third (mini) alien!
And he is 2 years younger than Tadej so there is still room for improvement.
He is 15 months younger... Forget it mate, he is too far... maybe in other era he would be a multiple tour de france winner, not in this era with 2 aliens, both of them are top5 climbers of all times. This is like Messi vs Ronaldo in footballHe is not the first of the humans, he is the third (mini) alien!
