Who is Opi Omi? In German thats a deminutive form of Grandma (Omi) and Grandpa (Opi).

An Austrian woman that in the cycling world deserves life sentence by her utter stupidity.

If nice Neilson wins the 4 points today before Puy de Dôme, he keeps the dots even if Pogi wins the stage.

I don’t see the GC guys reaching the front at this point, so Powless should take it relatively easy until the Puy de Dome, where he should take a good amount of points if he managed his effort correctly.

I hope so!

No team in the leading group has won a stage yet in this Tour.

Nice observation, thanks.
Can't wait to be back nearer civilization round 6pm watching entire stage from the gun (no stable mobile data here, I'll enjoy the sea once again).

Aussies might win the Ashes before this climb comes so I’ll be back

I expect nothing less than a slaughterhouse on the last climb. Massive gaps between GC guys, and I have feeling UAE will be the one setting the pace in the end.

Breakaway for the stage.

What a borefest. Even the evenepoel thread is back alive.
Is the peloton bar the escapees / team represented seriously not even trying to win on this mythical climb?

It all depends on UAE. Let's see if UAE will endure the race.

Just call LeFevre and say that you're bored, I'm sure he'll see that he can't disappoint you.

It is a myth that this climb is mythical.

It is a myth that this climb is mythical.

All myths are myths

Continuing the myth = selffulfilling prophecy, but it seems jumbo and uae don’t see it that way.

All myths are myths

Everything is everything.

I went back to sleep...did I miss anything?

 

[ChewbaccaDefense]

Everything is everything.

It is what it is

 

[Potomac]

Today's victory will be myth defying.

To all the myth-makers and mythbusters out there, how many minutes would the peloton need to take back before the foot of Puy-de-Dome to take the stage?

Back in the rim brake days, it took 10 seconds for a wheel change.

If break has more than 4-5 at the foot they win.

think if they halve the deficit now, and Pog and Jonas go ape sh!t, then someone from the break might not win.
