Jojo Vingegaard!

 

[Heston]

Getting bad nerves from some of these fans and how close their flags are to the riders

 

[Rollthedice]

Vinge dropped Remco. Pog is doomed.

 

[perico]

Remco has a good poker face. I thought he looked better

 

[Danskebjerge]

Yeh, as much as I love Healy's "style" in terms of being a very ballsy rider who seems to always want to animate...

he makes climbing look like he is going up a hill on his way to school on a £100 mountain bike.

BUT tbh it is what a lot of riders basically get told to do from a kid these days. Climb in saddle, low, with high cadence.

But who cares if it is in theory more efficient... climbing out of the saddle just looks so much better ahaha.

I actually appreciate that there are different ways of riding - riders with heads moving from side to side, or that basque rider in the 1990's that I forgot the name of.

 

[Penninepeddler]

On the other side, Yates was quite useless

Put in a pretty big effort to catch Healy really... he took 1 minute out of him when Healy was not exactly going "slowly" in the space of a few kms.

Nice moto slingshot on flat section

Goes with the territory

 

[Zoetemelk-fan]

Much better final k's for Pogi upcoming. Could be 25 secs!

 

[Scarponi]

I hate anyone who uses flares. Should be knocked out

 

[RedheadDane]

Not sure I trust that time.
Where is Rolf when you need him?

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

Hold on Remco, keep that pace. You're doing an amazing job.

I saw him checking his bike computer, i think he's reading the forum!

 

[Penninepeddler]

I actually appreciate that there are different ways of riding - riders with heads moving from side to side, or that basque rider in the 1990's that I forgot the name of.

Yeh, as much as I appreciate the science behind it it kind of sucks these days that 90% of riders look basically exactly the same when climbing.

Same position, same cadence, all in sadlle.

 

[Samamba]

Remco is really good, definitely made some steps. Very interesting for the future. I expected him to be 3rd best, but not this close to the best 2.

 

[ice&fire]

Giro has taken over the Tour GPS

 

[wheresmybrakes]

C'mon Rodriguez catch Remco

 

[Penninepeddler]

Pogi putting more and more time in as it flattens out.

Jonas had held it to same as initial attack when numbers were in double figures.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

It must be a nightmare to race between so many idiot fans

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Teddy too good today!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The descent killed Vingegaard again.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Moooou i love you

 

[Heston]

Maybe people will learn not to act like Pogacar has lost the race when he is in yellow a minute in front of 2nd place

 

[Danskebjerge]

A fat cat weighs more than Vingegaard.

 

[Scarponi]

Remco is really good, definitely made some steps. Very interesting for the future. I expected him to be 3rd best, but not this close to the best 2.

It’s a double and an injury. Might be closest he ever gets

Yes but plan was for sure he goes hard for Pogi in that flatter part we just saw, where drafting actually matters. The 300m in the steep part did nothing for Pogacar, in fact hr probably could have gone faster. Still the right strategy but for sure didn’t work as intended.

 

[Rollthedice]

Vinge dropped Remco. Pog is doomed.

Or maybe not... Pog is a man possessed.
