Lol….. that was the most awkward fail of an attack ever from DSM

Lol….. that was the most awkward fail of an attack ever from DSM

But it succeeded?

Pinot is probably going for KOM if you wanna win the stage it makes no sense to wait for the larger break.

 

[StryderHells]

Maybe not fully terrible but winning GP Aargau is also not the same as winning a Tour stage, Fleche Wallone and finish LBL and the World Championship in the top 3 as in 2020.

It did look his form was better this season but I don’t disagree that he’s a long way from the rider he was a couple of seasons back.

Class from Bardet to throw it down like this

Should bridge on the descent comfortably

Froome is having a bad day.

Froome is having a bad day.

Just paying for his efforts earlier, Doesn't have the legs to put in to attacking so much.

 

[bigcog]

Froome burnt what few matches he had by the looks of it and now dropping.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

COURAGE romain!!! Allez!!! What panache

 

[ontheroad]

Jumbo like they're teeing up Vingegaard for the stage win today.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Bardet evidently doesn't have the legs to be trying this yet he's still riding more aggressively today than half the top-10 have done on any stage all race. Kudos to him.

 

[Eyeballs Out]

Bob Jungels made it across to the KOM group, collecting Latour on the way

 

[RobertCrawley]

Surprised some of the armchair warriors who have gave Roglic stick haven’t demanded Kruijswijk finish with them minor scratches

Minor scratches? The man could not move his right arm after the crash.

Spoiler

Heard of sarcasm?

 

[Red Rick]

Has the KoM ever been less of a battle than this year?

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Lustenko and Pinot 29:32 on Aspin. 14 seconds slower than Ricco record

Geschke is fighting pretty hard, but he's almost alone in that. I don't recall a more uneventfull KoM either but I'd still be happy for him if he wins.

Lustenko and Pinot 29:32 on Aspin. 14 seconds slower than Ricco record

For real? It rather looked like everyone is cooked than close to record.

 

[Gigs_98]

Adam Yates will be frightfully looking above driving this stretch of road.

The last two years Pogacar got involved and basically won it by accident.

Yeah, some of these other "gc guys" have done a great job at being invisible for almost 3 weeks just to scrape a top 10 spot. At least people notice Bardet is in this race lol

There were big battles they just weren't won by the guy participating in the battle.

 

[Salvarani]

Bjerg on the front

 

[Tinnekeisabella]

Bjerg pulling the peloton but not sure why?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Bjerg big tempo what the hell is this
