Philipsen will always somehow just close it no matter how open it is beforehand.

And no matter how many warnings he has received.

Opportunity has gone unrealized to register this uswrname

Agreed. Maybe some teams will use the intermediate sprint as a launching point, like they did last week.

One might have hoped so; instead, it signalled the end of any attempt at getting clear.

Christian VDV reports at least 10 flats today. More than the gravel?

 

[AmRacer]

It's just another rest day.

Like watching paint dry.

 

[DJO]

This is soporific, at best.

It was very visible since October that the route of this Tour 2024 was absolutely garbage.

Yes youre indeed right, lets not hop into PCS and actually look for ourselves again

Off-topic when gliding through Loir-et-Cher.. Time well spent is reading the book of Pierre-Henri Closterman; Le Grand Cirque. It's a true story of young French fighter pilot in ww2, he was 19 when he went in and 25 when the war ended. Superb storytelling that is easy to read, kinda sad but happy ending. No modern tech jets not yet, you just grab your Hawker Hurricane, Spitfire, or that 2400 hp gasoline Tempest and try to win the game.

Is there a good English translation?

This Tour's route is absolutely garbage. Super backloaded and despite the Galibier and San Luca, they tried everything to have a super close GC until stage 14. Even the TT is a joke, super small, very fast, this leads to tiny margins between gc riders.

The race has been incredible this year for a lot of reasons. Today is a dud, though.

CVV said this stage is hard not so much physically, but psychologically. Peloton bunched up together like a sausage again...

 

[CyclistAbi]

It's a good Tour edition so far.

Easy.

Vingegaard's comeback is the greatest since 1999.

It’s proof that the teams read the forum . . . They saw all the talk here about crosswinds and thought, “well, if they think crossroads will be a factor, we’re just going to ride a’ bloc until we reach that stretch.”

Race has been incredible because of Pogacar, that's it. Every race is good when Pogacar is in it and this is not a fanboy talking. If we made the exercise of searching for hard stages in this Tour, the five hardest are in the last 8 stages. This is just pure crap.

 

[Tommy Gun]

A couple of days ago, a large majority was rating this Tour as one of the best GT first weeks in ages. And now, because of a couple of boring stages, it is suddenly becoming a horrible Tour...
We are in the usual second-week lull that has to happen in most GTs, have a little faith

Maybe we'll see some nice scenery?

Lots of footage of an angry Christoph Roodhooft in the team car.
