I was hopeful Pidders would make a charge at the podium, but he fell back. Any chance he improves and threatens the top of the GC in the future?

Maybe, maybe not. We'll see.

 

[Didinho]

Almost forgot Girmay is here.

 

[RedheadDane]

Old guy attacking!

 

[slim charles]

Having a rider attacking on the flat. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it - so entertaining!

Yeah, it's the 'pogacar's fanboys' that have an issue here...

 

[SHAD0W93]

Hindley mechanical.

 

[Jagartrott]

Some people see things in very black or white perspective.often fronting an almost Dunning Kruger like mindset..
Not least when it comes to someting as relative as "sport".. if you like somebody, footballteam, person, etc ..some small minded people will ofte try to hate or tarnish the ther part, as some weird aspect of showing loyality or devotion to their team, person etc.

Here you are again with Dunning-Kruger, but apparently, you do not really understand very well what it means or implies. It is not a 'mindset', and black-and-white reasoning and/or tribalism is something different.

You mention dunning Kruger quite often, which I find a bit disrespectful (towards other forum members) when you show a VERY clear bias towards defending against all of vingegaard’s vehemently. Bias itself leads to troubled judgement, and suffering from dunning-Kruger leads to the same. Just saying, be careful.
I really liked vingegaards attack (Marie blanque) and his awesome tt (poetry in motion). I’m a huge fan of Wva’s riding. I personally know Tiesj Benoot (a bit, from riding), and he is down to earth and very likeable.
But it has to be said that Niermann and Plugge are soulless and sometimes just annoyingly arrogant, and this shows in Jumbo’s tactics.
So one advice: don’t jump on every comment criticizing Vingegaard / Jumbo. It doesn’t make you look smart.

 

[buddy buddy buddy]

And there are seriously people in this forum calling Pogacar boring and a mountain sprinter, lol.

you're boring and a mountain sprinter lol

It's not the "not working for Pog" the issue, it's the "jump on Pog's wheel & mark him tightly" which is the problem.

What's the point other than a bit of psychological warfare aka acting annoying? He's not going to make up 7 minutes here.

you're annoying

Jumbo is so boring

you're boring

Jumbo have an unhealthy obsession with wrecking Pog's racing.

It's completely negative.

you have an unhealthy obsession & you're completely negative

Vinge the Cringe on the radio as we speak in full panic mode, as per usual.

that derogatory name doesn't even make sense cause there's no rhyme

Jumbo, lol, these guys are the WORST

you're the worst

Hindley snaps a chain, bummer

 

[RedheadDane]

Hindley snaps a chain, bummer

At least he had his own car.

 

[Rackham]

Yeah, it's the 'pogacar's fanboys' that have an issue here...

People who hate Pogačar are the equivalent of those kids who jump into a sandbox, destroy the sand castles & shout "ha ha ha!" at the other children.

Aka no fun allowed.

 

[GroupDK]

No Im not insinuating anything you bonobo

And yes, of course he's the strongest and best rider in the world. Thats obvious to everyone who watches cycling.

You seem objective.
Clearly not the strongest in the third week of tour de france in 2021, 2022, 2023.
there can be more then one good rider.
Some are best in certain criterias and vice versa.. they each got their strengths.
no reason to see the world as an 8 year old... there can only be one that are the "greatest".

 

[RedheadDane]

It's not like Van Hooydonck pulling (more) would have made a difference. They were gonna get caught anyway.

 

[Finn84]

Rain reported?

I like that guy. Others are seeing things too black and white, yet he will defend anything, anywhere, anytime when it comes to Vingegaard just because he, too, has a Danish flag to his name.

 

[SHAD0W93]

Kung mechanical

 

[SHAD0W93]

Rain is finally coming for Pog.

 

[Jagartrott]

It's not like Van Hooydonck pulling (more) would have made a difference. They were gonna get caught anyway.

So any reason for not doing so then?
Also, in cycling, you never know. You should know.

 

[Didinho]

Rain. Hopefully no crashes.
He just said time will stop here for GC? What if Hindley was a minute behind and finished in the peloton in the end?

People are acting as if Van Hooydonck cheated Pogacar from a clear stage win.

 

[RobertCrawley]

My nomination for the Silver Jersey is Dries Devenyns, age 40.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Time will be taken at one lap to go due to rain.

 

[SHAD0W93]

Just reported they’re taking the times from the bell lap.

You're just not very bright, are you?

Wow it's going to be slippery.
