If Remco performs on the same level tomorrow, he'll get that podium spot.

No way tomorrow is a one climb race. Remco has a lot of work ahead of him tomorrow. Should answer a lot of questions.

Time limit 43'31"

Think everyone should be fine. Groenewegen/Cav grupetto was 22minutes behind at the foot. Vanhoucke is last in the race (I think he crashed), he was 27min behind.

 

[JosefK]

Pog surprisingly thermonuclear, today. .. I wasn't sure he had it in him. I was wrong.

 

[BubbaChuck]

yates decoy didnot work really.

 

[fbjim]

the big hope left for Vingegaard is that the two hardest MTFs are yet to come (Pla d'Adet is a classic HC but nobody's idea of one of the hardest MTFs in the Tour), so at the risk of stating the obvious tomorrow is going to say a ton

 

[Samamba]

¨Pogacar should probably go again tomorrow. He's the better one right now. Get as much time you can cause you never know Vingegaard will be extreterrestrial again on the last stages.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

It's excessive weight, he should cut one off.😅

It's been known to work.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Why would anybody chase yates? That was so stupid. Maybe only ciccone should have bothered

Or maybe Derek Gee

 

[Grayguard]

It seems clear UAE has the stronger team this year. If that means Pog can compete in the 3rd week remains to be seen.

 

[Nick2413]

Looked like Vingegaard was going to pull it back for a while then lost time quickly. Still plenty of room for a battle, we aren’t even in the 3rd week and tomorrow should be harder.

 

[RedheadDane]

The Big Three are definitely separating themselves from the rest:

1	1	-	POGAČAR Tadej	UAE Team Emirates	25	32″	56:42:39
2	3	▲1	VINGEGAARD Jonas	Team Visma | Lease a Bike		20″	1:57
3	2	▼1	EVENEPOEL Remco	Soudal Quick-Step		14″	2:22
4	4	-	ALMEIDA João	UAE Team Emirates			6:01

Same!

Cheers to Red Rick for the Lord of the Rings reference, one of my favorite quotes.
Also nice ride by Jorgenson, very impressive. He has all the markings of a future TdF star.

I thought everyone was riding LOTR today.

 

[Penninepeddler]

I think it is hilarious how Adam has an actual Manc accent (albeit softer)...

while Simon sounds half Aussie, half random town in middle England, with only a few Manc intonations.

When they are twins.

 

[gregrowlerson]

Rackham undoubtedly in full agreement with Tadej Pogacar stating that the great Mark Cavendish is "from another planet".

 

[Finn84]

Think everyone should be fine. Groenewegen/Cav grupetto was 22minutes behind at the foot. Vanhoucke is last in the race (I think he crashed), he was 27min behind.

The stage isn't hard in that respective. It's listed in a hard category but as it was pretty easy until the intermediate sprint, none of the sprinters was in danger to lose time before it.

 

[Savant12]

He got like 2 minutes saving 10 watts that's not a very big difference. More useful using Yates to blow up the group before he even attacked.

The only reason it "worked" is cause Vingegaard couldn't respond to the first acceleration

Vingo can't respond to any of Pog's first accelerations: that's why the tactic worked.

Remco positioned himself very badly

very rare Benji W

 

[ppanther92]

I wonder whats the plan for Mühlberger. He finishes every stage at around 150-160, apart from the two mountain stages so far. Galibier 19th from the GC group, today 18th. Maybe he should try a break rather with those climbing legs because I really don’t know what he gains from decent results like these are, when 1 hour back…

 

[fbjim]

i actually thought that guy threw water before showing the replay, i was thinking that i haven't seen people do the "dumping water on the rider" thing for like years, that's more a pre-00s cycling thing

 

[Izzyeviel]

GC Gee 9th...

 

[Cookster15]

Woah, congrats Pog. I must admit I didn’t expect that.

Vinge finally shows some weakness due to his interrupted training.

Remco did great IMO.

But there is a long way to go and the real race for yellow just started. Tomorrow on PdB will tell us much more.
