Lmao, did the laundry, cleaned the apartment, went for a short ride, made some food... and it looks like absolutely nothing happened.

Thank god there's no more flat stages before stage 18.

This must be the longest ever lead out by Oss for Sagan.

 

[Rob5091]

Rain! Carefully does it!

 

[Salvarani]

Raining quite heavy now

Maybe the team is sending him home because they know he would be useless since his testosterone levels will plummet once his daughter is born.

To be fair, there is research that the higher someone’s testosterone is the more likely they are to have a girl.

Raining quite heavy now

No crashes please.

Raining quite heavy now

Perfect for a Pog Smash to save the day then.

 

[RobertCrawley]

At least someone in Brioche did something today.

Speed bump under the flamme rouge? What could possibly go wrong?

"- There is solid evidence that testosterone levels drop when men become fathers. As much as 25 per cent.

- And the longer men spend with their children, the lower the level seems to be, says Hans Søndergaard, who has a Master's degree in human physiology and has researched this very topic."

I don't want to spend time searching for the written studies - but the guy is a well-known sports scientist.

That’s okay, I just won’t consider it legit. Legitimate scientists can still present results of studies that aren’t large enough or with adequate controls—we can only know that if we can read what they’ve published.

Green jersey - I see you! (I think)

 

[Aimar16]

Looks like MvdP really isn't feeling well

 

[topcat]

Got into a rage from the amount of testosterone generated by being married with 6 kids and spending most of the day with them. Had to go for a run. I missed all the action.

 

[Izzyeviel]

Lotto rider managed to ride into the road furniture and not fall off. impressive

I see no reason to not consider it legit.

[RobertCrawley]

Wow, Alaphillippe pulled Jonas back on the road!

 

[titan31]

Jumbo would be a ridiculous sprint train. Some pace they set there

 

[Salvarani]

DSM... what a fail in that roundabout

 

[postmanhat]

Get out of the way Vingo

 

[Tim Cahill]

Lotto look good

 

[Izzyeviel]

Pogacar dropped?

 

[Salvarani]

Philipsen!

Great sprint, so smart in that finish.

 

[Tim Cahill]

There was a big gap there, I wonder if anyone managed to make the front group because it wasn't made by a crash as far as I can see.

 

[RobertCrawley]

JDP too strong for the rest of the universe.

 

[ManicJack]

Clean, straight sprint. He smoked them.
