Take your seatbelt on, Pogi. It’s going to be wild.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Wout looks about done

 

[Peter von]

I’ll say it again: Wva is a team on his own.

Jumbo brought 5 strong climbers and 7 very good roleurs/classic riders to the Tour to help Vingegaard

 

[Devil's Elbow]

How was it obvious?

Lack of pure climbing ability. Winning Suisse where the only decent competition was in inconsistent or bad form is a different kettle of fish than the Tour, as he's finding out the hard way. His recovery also has never impressed me.

The plump guy you mean? The chubby dude that looks like a recreational cyclist?

Is there any way for a break rider to surprise and win?

Is there any way for a break rider to surprise and win?

Probably not against Jonas.

 

[Zoophonic]

Well is the Tour still a competition or is it over . We will find out in the next few kilometres.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pog looks dead. Tour is over

 

[Potomac]

Powless needs to use a different gear.

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Hey Pog, how are Wout's legs today?

Yes that one

 

[Zoophonic]

Here we go

 

[Boehmand]

Maybe a bit harsh.

While I'm here though, so far this is a one week race.

I think all young Danish riders with GC-aspirations, are mindful of not falling into the "Fuglsang-trap", which has been much talked about the past 10 years, with a guy who could have won so much more, if he pivoted away from stubbornly focusing on Grand Tours much sooner in his career.

Obviously Skjelmose is only 22, and this may just be a random off day, but fatigue has always seemed to be his main issue, even in 1 week races.

Powless has been holding on for dear life on the back for a long time now, finally he just drops.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Lovely heli shots of foggy mountain peaks in the background as they are climbing again

 

[DrSahl]

Action!

 

[saunaking]

[wheresmybrakes]

Vingo not looking good, he won't win this stage.

 

[glassmoon]

Here we go!... again

 

[Cagalitroso]

By the power of tuff, we ask for your help Lord

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

WVA drilling it.

 

[ontheroad]
