The motos screwed the final 1 km uphill

 

[titan31]

All the people saying yesterday all that work by UAE for 8 seconds... wonder what they're thinking today about all of this for 1 second, on what was supposed to be a "Vingegaard stage".

It's not a good stage result for Jumbo really. Both result wise and psychologically imo

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Kinda an anticlimatic finish to the stage buildup. When Vinge caught Pog both mutants slowed down considerably and let Rodriguez bridge the gap and win the stage at the end. JV couldn't break Pogacar today and Vinge surprisingly didn't attack and finish off their work. Pog did but they are evenly matched. The Slovenian must be angry cause he missed on another stage win opportunity.

Rob Hatch w*nking over Vingeaard's bonus seconds 'victory' today... after Eurosport spent all day criticising UAE for yesterday's Grand-Colombier 8 seconds gain.

In other news, those motos were a disgrace. It's not possible to have so many motorbikes impede the race like that.

Good day for Pog bar getting robbed by the moto.

Hm, when he gave Yates the nod I was relatively sure that he will gain net seconds (most likely 3+4) instead of losing to Vingegaard. Don’t think he will be happy.

 

[SHAD0W93]

Never a gift, just descended better.

Who knows if he and Adam would have caught back up if Pog didn’t have to stop his attack.

 

[Didinho]

We could’ve had a little gap to the top and mano a mano descending. Such a shame.

Pogi is in need of a math teacher.

This is my chance.

 

[Bonimenier]

Pogacar should refuse the podium and the interviews. What are they going to do? Kick him out of the Tour?

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Here comes the best part: the scorching hot post-stage takes on this board.

Jumbo goes again tomorrow.

 

[Zoophonic]

Pog blew it today, net loss of 1 sec and didn’t win the stage.

It was a stage that Vin would have expected to have beaten Pog but he hasn’t. UAE won’t be disappointed.

 

[Elos Anjos]

Pogi is in need of a math teacher.

This is my chance.

Or perhaps Yates can't sprint.

The Turkish flag at the finish line again

 

[HelloDolly]

INEOS making a mistake by losing Rodriquez ...best GC hope they have ???

 

[ontheroad]

Its mad how depending on what rider you support both sides claim the other messed up. Jumbo clearly had designs on winning the stage given how they used up their doms one by one all day in the expectation that Vingegaard would make an attack on Joux PLane that never came. Then when the complexion of the race changed on the final climb and Yates dropped Kuss, the expectation was that Pog would make an attack which did come but wasn't enough to drop Vingegaard. What happened to just simply calling it a stalemate of sorts, there is clearly nothing between these 2 riders in this Tour.

both guys are going to be despairing tonight. 'how the *** do i get rid of this guy?'

 

[Didinho]

Rodriguez a win and big bonus on Hindley etc. Really strong.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Pogacar should refuse the podium and the interviews. What are they going to do? Kick him out of the Tour?

He's much too much of a mensch to do something ridiculous like that.

 

[Red Rick]

Are people really gonna act as if Pogacar was dropping Vingegaard when he couldn't even win the sprint on the top?

 

[Tim Cahill]

Motos aside, Pogacar did his best Rigoberto Uran Olympics impression at the top of that mountain sprint there

 

[Grayguard]

Just a reminder to all the people, saying Pogacar would drop Vinge

Honestly, motos not great but at some point the sheer number of people are just out of hand. That should have been fenced off just like a finish; imho part of this is on the organizers. They knew this would be a total freak show today. Imagine the contrast between utter fools running up the hill with their pants down, and the greatest bike racers on the planet. Zero IQ, zero shame.

 

[Escarabajo]

Pogi slowed down too much for my taste in that descend. Good stage. Good victory for Carlos and He just got closer to the podium.

 

[Elos Anjos]

Pogacar never lost a sprint to Vingegaard. Fact.
