And now I can go for a bike ride... Congrats to Pogacar! Well deserved win! One of the most exciting riders in the peleton. Not a bad Tour this year

That's just jinxing it for tomorrow. Crashes, crazy supporters, meteorites, you name it - it can happen. To Richie.Porte officially retiring as a GC captain, in an interview with Danish TV at the finish line.
Saying he couldn’t wish for a better end, is looking forward to helping younger riders succeed in future, and that he will be glad to be rid of the stress.
Trust me... You are not the only oneI still can't even process what happened..
No one could have predicted Pogacar would win the TT. He was not even a favorite before gaining time on Roglic.Superman dropped like a stone. Now that was a horrific tt.
Even if Primoz had ridden better than Dumoulin, Van Aert, Porte, he still would have lost overall by a large margin. Pogacar just rode an unbelievable tt. Almost no one thought this was even possible.
That is a priceless snapshot defining the 2020 TdF in one picture!!!
I still don’t understand. Did Rog burn out from previous days? Doesn’t seem like it but for whatever reason he bonked bad here. Should have been at least 2nd or 3rd in the TT but finished outside top 5. That’s pitiful for how he was riding. He had to be feeling bad.
Plus, Hirschi for most aggressive rider of the Tour and the top three teams in the team competition Also, it is top 3 on the podium in Paris, so plenty of people up there...The jerseys podium tomorrow will just be Pogacar and Bennett.
During the yellow jersey, the 2nd and 3rd will also be on the podium.The jerseys podium tomorrow will just be Pogacar and Bennett.
he just had a nightmare insteadNice TT by Caruso for a top 10 on GC. Did Lopez have a fall or a mechanical ? He fell out of the top five !
I'm talking about the one where they have all 4 jersey winners together.During the yellow jersey, the 2nd and 3rd will also be on the podium.
I feel Jumbo and Roglic wasted many opportunities to put pressure on Pogacar. A minute is so easily lost on a bad day or with a mechanical, so their passive attitude made little sense to me.I already told that it was stupid of Roglic to 'allow' Pogacar to take time on Peyresourde, and it proved to be the case. If Pogacar had 45 seconds more to take, he would probably have not been flying like this.
Roglic probably couldn't follow Pogacar at Peyresourde, but it was still a tactical mistake not to try.
After subbing out all your strikers to get extra defenders.It’s like being 1-0 up all game and then conceding two in injury time.
Is this what forum eruption looks like??
