Bardet doesn't look that great. But hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things.

Honestly I don't see that good WVA too 😨

Roglic taking down a soigneur.

Well, the soigneur thought Red Bull gives you wings

Frank van den Broek looking like Frank Vandenbroucke out there

Not blonde enough.

How does Ayuso suffer in heat? He grew up between Spain and the south. It’s 90 degrees Fahrenheit every freaking day in the summer.

Michele Scarponi used to struggle in the heat too, but Claus Michael Møller used to do really well in 35º+. It's not always intuitive.

I mean, if you didn't know he was born in Kenya and raised in South Africa, you'd also wonder what a pasty, spindly Briton like Froome was doing riding so well when it was really hot.

 

[Netserk]

Chrono des Nations up front

Trofeo Baracchi.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Honestly I don't see that good WVA too 😨

Me neither. He looks like he's laboring.

 

[Salvarani]

Visma killed the action.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Jesus Ineos go away

 

[RobertCrawley]

Visma killed the action.

Probably part of the plan.

 

[tobydawq]

Finallineos.

 

[Unterlenkerfahrend]

Worst outcome would be ineos and trek pulling this back and helping Belgian pozzato to win this stage.

[Libertine Seguros]

Visma killed the action.

Tribute to fallen comrades.

 

[scribers]

What is the time limit percentage today?

CAV%

 

[Salvarani]

Can they hurry up and finish before the Swiss vs Italy game?!

 

[Medvind]

Visma killed the action.

Yep, Vinge looked ok so it was no point for UAE to go bananas today.

 

[Tim Cahill]

They've been fooled by this fake pace from Visma I think, someone should've tried something but it's too late.

 

[tobydawq]

What is the time limit percentage today?

It's about 50 minutes.

 

[Miha81]

Visma killed the action.

Can you blame them? Their goal is to be as sharp as possible in the 3rd week.

It is UAE that is today's loser in my books.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Ineos chasing down Bardet may affect their usual popularity in France a bit

 

[Warhawk]

Jesus Ineos go away

Been asking for years and they refuse to oblige.

 

[Salvarani]

Tribute to fallen comrades.

The Kuss of death.

My Danish side hopes Bardet gets caught

My romantic side hopes Bardet wins the stage, and takes his first ever yellow jersey, in his last Tour.
