It is with deep sadness that I have to announce that these were the last kilometers of this Tour I was able to watch live. Have fun everyone!

Is this some kind of reverse voodoo?

German Eurosport had a bigger discussion on it just some minutes ago. Apparently has the Herpes rash since yesterday. Might harm his performance according to them. That said, still think he did well enough yesterday.

Yes. I noticed it yesterday at ITT start. It is never a good sign since it usually means that immune system is weak.

Like a lip sore? Most people get them from time to time.

Yes. But if its really virus-based, performance indeed can suffer, you just don't realize in every day life. That said, I think they are a bit desperate in finding things to explain the gap yesterday.

Pog mouth wide open. Upper body going from left to right. Doesnt look too good.

That's become normal in Denmark. Famous footballer Preben Elkjaer actually has the name Preben Elkjaer Larsen, but he dropped the Larsen part. That's typically because the middle names are more "interesting" than (too) common family names such as Hansen, Jensen and Larsen. Normally the middle name is from the mother.

Same goes for politicians by the way - numerous Danish prime ministers from the last couple of decades actually.

So in Denmark women are more interesting than men?

Ineos are not bringing the GC group closer whatsoever.

In what country aren't they?

I'm more interested in the women of any country than the men.

As far as I know... if you had it once... the virus is in your body for life and can flare up at any point. Things can trigger it, of course, but how often it flares up can be pretty individual I think.

Jumbo probably want DvB to drill the intermediate section

Breakaway gap should melt in the 2md half of the climb

So you'll be glued to the Tour de France Femmes next week?

Benoot was giving something and threw it away immediately. If you don’t need it, just give it back.
Maybe a transponder to activate Vingo 😁

Vinge is not even sweating, or breathing. This pace must be so much below his level that he will start asking for arm warmers.

Ok, dangerous half-knowledge now. As far as I know, thats true indeed but every breakout still leads to inflammation.

He dead?

All show.. he will make a go for it today. all or nothing

He dead?

He's the Skeletor afterall is he not?

Yeah, if you have a break-out it usually takes a week or so for it to heal.

Learned to absorb oyxgen through the skin.

Boggles my mind how these fools on ES don't think that the likes of Vingegaard or Pog aren't favourites here. Don't give a damn how good Gal or Yates are, if Pog or Vingegaard want this, they've no chance

GCN/ES never tell the truth if it's inconvenient for appealing to viewers. They spent three weeks trying to convince everyone the Giro was actually great as well.

World feed commentator continue to give updates on Pidcock.....why the F?

He is British.

That’s not how Danish names work.

Since your post did not provide any information. A quick google search shows that Danes cannot have two surnames. I guess Vingegaard is his middle name then, which he got from his mother's surname.

Or maybe he has gills. He's a fish, after all.
