I wonder what would happen if a rider began to have symptoms from covid tomorrow - would he still be able to ride a decent TT and the stage to Paris? I would expect him to lose minutes in the TT.

Pretty sure you just don't test him and keep relatively quiet about it while trying to isolate as best as possible in private.
that DK probably doesnt you you are danish, does itYou can use conversation if you have something relevant...other than that.. no reason to get triggered and land this "ban" you seem afraid of, and not least if it's in lack of fitting perspective.
// nevermind just took a look at your narrative, quite clear which way you wanna take it at every step.
You can even save them..

Pogacar may have pushed if Vingegaard had fallen but he had everything to gain by doing so. Vingegaard had a two minute lead and there was no reason for him to take risks, and having a wheel to follow on that descent was a good idea.
Not saying it wasn't great sportsmanship too but hey.

Yes, but even if it were mild symptoms, it would surely be hard to ride a TT at 50 kph?

These guys are next level even when sick. Plus it's a W/CdA test, where loss if you lose 5% of watts you onl lose like 3% of speed.

Of course, totally forgot about it. I was thinking about in-race illness. All in all a good race by Aleks.

Luis Leon Sanchez is sitting at a very solid 16th in GC. That's pretty good for a 39 year old. He might even make the Top 15 if he tries in the TT.

I am Pogi fan but Vinge and JV deserved this tour. UAE was nowhere to be seen (except stage 17) and that has put pressure on their GC rider.
I wonder how TDF would look if Pogi kept the advantage but highly doubt it would as fun as it was.
Double leadership deception was something new for me but I guess you can pull this off if you have team loaded with talents.

yep, it wasn't likes for likes..
Would Pogacar have waited for Vingegard if he crashed I doubt it.. though' do I want Pogacar to wait.. nahh not really with the situation in mind.
I know it's yellow jersey, & unwritten rules, and all that jazz.,
but this was mano o' mano and trying to downhill-challenge Jonas and getting people out there where they ain't comfortable, and that certainly also a skill in TdF.
No doubt it was a class act from Vingegaard, showing the champ Pogacar respect and waiting for him and letting the legs set the norm on Huatacam.. beautiful ride from Jonas Vingegaard today definitely looks to be the right winner of a very hard & hot TdF2022 and Jumbo Vista was also spectacular strong today with Kuss and Van Aert being second to none, when it comes to helpers.

Except the Yellow Jersey and the Win! But he sure has Tried!
Another fun stage of the greatest Tour for decades.
I can’t believe that I may actually end up supporting Pogacar as an underdog next year. It’s not ideal for the apparent new best GC rider in the world to have such an incredible team around him. Imagine being able to lose Roglic and Kruijswijk and being “reduced” to relying on Kuss and Van Aert.

Wout is the best cyclist in the world. Jonas will win yellow but, LORD, This is the Tour of Wout!
There is ofcourse a difference, it was Pog driving the downhill, so if Jonas crashed, it was due to the pressure and entirely due to Pog driving it. So no he shouldn't wait in that case.
Him falling and Jonas waiting is a different scenario. Jonas could have went both ways, but waiting was benificial for him since others were coming back that way.

I think there are too many variables to make close comparisons, but historically it wasn't a fast run up Hautacam.

Yet again an abosultely brilliant mountain stage. We haven`t seen such a Tour in ages. Hats off to all the riders you set an early pace in mountain stages.
At the same time it makes me sad what we have missed out in the past. i hope this kind of racing gets the norm now again.

Yes! I always wondered why the Tour de France was so boring - as if the organizers sabotaged their own race. Not that everything depends on the route - it doesn't -, but in many editions of the Tour, the first half of the race has been dominated by flat stages with inevitable sprint finishes. Now, the GC is in play early on, and even the flat stages are not entirely flat, so it's a real battle between the breakaway and the peloton. That's how I always wanted the Grand Tours to be.
