It is over now. UAE is saving themself for tomorrow

and they missed the break which is really surprising. Seems like their domestiques didn't have it today.

 

[Salvarani]

I'm disappointed UAE isn't riding to go for the stage.

It would have been stupid.

 

[saunaking]

damn, hoping mvdp tried to pip mads for the points lol

 

[RobertCrawley]

Can anyone in the front group stay with Pinot on the final climb?

 

[glassmoon]

Jumbo have Pogačar derangement syndrome.

They're always cooking up theories which point to his weaknesses (real or imagined) which they believe they can exploit on the road. Like here in this stage their theory (we can presume) is "hard racing weakens Pog".

It could be argued they're just cooking themselves but we'll wait & see. One thing is for sure, Jumbo is not acting like a team which is confident their leader can drop Pogačar in the Alps.

The only thing they are cooking seems to be meth... it certainly looks that way.

it seems like that given last 2 mountain stages saw Pogacar dropped Vingegaard. JV certainly has good reason to worry. But racing like this yes, is stupid and only wearing themselves down and isolated Vingegaard.

It is a good group of riders.

Pinot looked really good in how he bridged to the group though. He wasnt in any early as well.

Possibly Johannesen - great chance for a Uno-X stage win today.

 

[Didinho]

Can anyone in the front group stay with Pinot on the final climb?

I’m assuming some guys like Campenaerts will try to sneak away early.

 

[Boehmand]

Weird people keep blaming JV but not UAE, for how this stage has been raced.

It takes 2 to tango

Or they are really confident this type of racing damage Pogi more than Vinge

Tomorrow brother. I think so far UAE has done everything right, Jonas has to have used a lot more energy today

 

[Tim Cahill]

Someone in the car needs to tell Vingegaard not to respond to any more random ass Adam Yates attacks with 100k to go.

 

[staubsauger]

AG2R neither goes for the polka dots jersey with Gall, nor pulls in the peloton now to move him up in the general classification!

This is all on Jumbo to be fair and I personally love it

He was even responding to Trentin responding to something, lol.

 

[Boehmand]

Danish TV2 saying, as we passed that huge decoration on the ground, that the Tour spends an entire 900 meters in the region it promoted - they have already left it again

 

[Didinho]

Tibo Pino is gonna win the Tour today.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Cort invisible once again.

Kuss legit dropped or just saving his legs for tommorrow?

 

[frisenfruitig]

Van Aert attacks a billion times then lets a group like this go... I wonder what his explanation is going to be.

Van Aert: "I attacked a billion times and still did not make it to the group"

 

[Volderke]

It seems no one in this forum understands racing. I”ll explain:

Wva tried to get in the break. The outcome was half of jumbo getting dropped. So Wva had to stay with Vingegaard and wasn’t allowed to go in the definite break.

That’s all there is guys.
