If Vingegaard had stayed with with his teammates, he'd have gained time there.

 

[Poursuivant]

Pogacar dropped?

Was on Vingegaard’s wheel

 

[proffate]

take that haters

 

[Danskebjerge]

No crashes, no deviations (as I saw it).

 

[ontheroad]

Philipsen again, this is getting boring.

 

[RobertCrawley]

No crashes, no deviations (as I saw it).

Yep. Solid powerful win.

 

[dobrien]

His best win of the Tour so far; that was pretty impressive. Great long sprint.

Wout completely swallowed up after all LaPorte's work.

Jakobsen nowhere.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Sagan getting 8th on positioning alone with absolutely zero speed.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Vingegaard is so reckless. If I was a sprinter I would be very mad. Again, he is there in the front with 2 km to go.

 

[JosefK]

Front gap was about 5 seconds, but I didn't see Pog or Vingo in the front.

 

[Salvarani]

Ewan not getting in the wind at any point. Loses position, so he is not even contesting in the sprint.

He has to try harder at this level.

Wout completely swallowed up after all LaPorte's work.

Jakobsen nowhere.

Wout looked to have got blocked in by Bauhaus and Coquard I think. Just got sandwiched

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.

Some different studies done throughout the years.

Longitudinal evidence that fatherhood decreases testosterone in human males - PMC

In species in which males care for young, testosterone (T) is often high during mating periods but then declines to allow for caregiving of resulting offspring. This model may apply to human males, but past human studies of T and fatherhood have ...

Testosterone Levels Are Negatively Associated with Childlessness in Males, but Positively Related to Offspring Count in Fathers

Variation in testosterone (T) is thought to affect the allocation of effort between reproductive and parenting strategies. Here, using a large sample of elderly American men (n = 754) and women (n = 669) we examined the relationship between T and self-reported parenthood, as well as the...

Chapeau Philipsen - no arguing about that win. The fastest man in the sprint.

 

[movingtarget]

Ewan managed to once again get himself into a hopeless position. Phillipsen just too good.

 

[Salvarani]

Vingegaard is so reckless. If I was a sprinter I would be very mad. Again, he is there in the front with 2 km to go.

You could see Ala patting him on the back at one point in the last 3-4km... "just relax and get in here buddy, take it easy".

Philipsen continues his poor string of unremarkable wins.

Matt White:

Pretty simple – it's just position. We're confident that Dylan has the speed to beat anyone here, but he has to have a good run at the line. It's been complicated so far but the boys are getting better.

Groenwegen isn't going to get a better position or leadout than today.

Yes, and?

 

[Salvarani]

Sagan getting 8th on positioning alone with absolutely zero speed.

Not bad.

If he had a gap to sprint in, he might have gained a couple of positions in the end.

Smart cycling. Stay in front and stay safe.

One touch of wheels in the last couple of kilometers wipes out half the peloton. We've seen it before.

 

[RedheadDane]

Jakobsen nowhere.

Seems QS got scared of getting to the front too late/not getting to the front at all. So, they got to the front too early...

Hmm... did I see a sign saying the speed limit was 70 KpH, while the graphics showed the riders did 80 KpH? Fine them!

 

[JosefK]

A miraculous stage, today. No crashes in the finale!

 

[frisenfruitig]

You could see Ala patting him on the back at one point in the last 3-4km... "just relax and get in here buddy, take it easy".

Not sure what Alaphilippe was going for tbh. Just riding in the front for no apparent reason, he was making things more dangerous. It's not like he had any team mates in his wheel or anything

Yeah Groenewegen was set up perfectly, Philipsen has just been the best of the rest. Looks like he’ll leave her with 5-8 wins depending on how the breakaway goes on two stages. Heck he could get in the break with his team and potentially win from it.
