UCI points for the first 15 on a Tour stage - and prize money for the first 20.

First Spanish stage win at the Tour in 5 years.

Jesus didn't realise it was that long. Great stage and great win for Bilbao.

It's telling that a group as talented as Alaphilippe, Skjelmose, Kwiatkowski, and Barguil were so far off the pace. The Alaphilippe of 2017-2021 would probably have one a stage or two at this point. On current form, Thursday's stage is the only real chance I see left for him and, by extension, Quickstep as a whole.

Another stage where Soudal got most things wrong.

Their 2 best riders hit the break - so far so good - then they burn up one of them in support of the other, who then can't hack it

The other one wouldn’t hack it either anyway…

You are so freaking annoying man. Asgreen had absolutely no chance today, please just do get that in your head and how about you delete your sockpuppet acc while youre at it? Alaf tried his best, wasn't enough, but Asgreen was completely done. That was obvious to literally everyone watching.

Great day for Bilbao, stage win and he is now deep into the top10.

Israel racing like in the Giro, they have clearly improved when compared to last season.

 

[StryderHells]

Emotional and lovely post race interview with Bilbao, happy he bagged a stage win in this years race.

 

[Reynard]

For me Ineos feels a bit on the loosing side today. they couldn't get anythin out of the chaos at the start and felt on the backfoot the whole time.

Bardet and gaudu got saved today by their irrelevancy. No team needed to keep them behind and no team needed to test them again. on the last climb. So if they recover well until the weekend or make a good break maybe Ineos and Jayco look back at that moment adn wished they buried them here.

The Tour is really great this year. I'm looking forward to Thursdays stage as there could be a great breakaway battle again and this time there will be probably also no wait with three pretty hard back-toback-to-back climbs in the last 65 km (that's of course if the race is really on like today)

They didn’t get anything wrong, the riders didn’t have the legs to win today

What hotel search.

 

[Rollthedice]

Crazy. And only 7 Italian riders in the peloton.

Yes. I guess Italians are at an all time low.

 

[Cagalitroso]

Great day for Bilbao,

Forget the city, this is about Pello

 

[StryderHells]

What hotel search.

They were searched by Danish police in last years race

 

[RobertCrawley]

Pello says he won for Gino. Very moving.

Great day for Bilbao, stage win and he is now deep into the top10.

Israel racing like in the Giro, they have clearly improved when compared to last season.

Last season for IPT was pretty disastrous overall, but they did win two stages at the Tour.

Nothing wrong with the hotel search but this is a convo for a different section of the forum

 

[Boehmand]

The other one wouldn’t hack it either anyway…

Which one are you referring to?

 

[movingtarget]

Nice team pursuit stage Well taken win by Bilbao.

 

[SafeBet]

Yes. I guess Italians are at an all time low.

Not an all time low, but lowest since 1983.

 

[Boehmand]

Yes they did.

Asgreen spent half his time in the break pulling it.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Which one are you referring to?

Asgreen. He would’ve been dropped worse than Ala dropped anyway.

Hiring a cat killer is the worst for me. But Bilbao is good. **** the team.
