"We have information that the Gendarmerie have already found and arrested the man who did this act and spent the last night in jail," Hansen wrote on social media.

"We thank the Gendarmerie for their fast great work, and this is a sign not to do this to the cyclist. Please be responsible and respect the riders."

Let's see now if Visma keeps going. I think the gap to the break will increase significantly, but not sure

 

[Rackham]

Maybe with the heat it makes some sense as Pog had struggled occasionally in the heat, but if visma drive hard when Jorgenson swings off its likely he still has Pog, Almeida, Yates and Soler in his wheel. And then what?

Pog wins.

Visma are playing their cards right now. Racing hard to put fatigue into Pog's legs has been one of their signature strategies for 3 years now.

I doubt it'll work but that's all they've got.

I know on this forum Plateau de Bellie isn't the most popular of climbs, but I've actually ridden up it a few times and I must say it's a beautiful climb.

Yes, but they have to try. This is a final climb where Jonas must challenge Tadej.

poor Louis. Wanty car must be on a lunch break

 

[glassmoon]

No Wanty car behind the 1st group? Bummer for Mentjes

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Jungels has been in front for years, he's not gaining any time advantage against WvA.

 

[Heston]

Pog wins.

Yep

The alternative to this is to roll over and surrender.

They probably won't succeed, but it's the only chance they have.

I'm actually not lol, but my point was I'm not going to argue over a small matter. We're cycling fans, not football!

What does that even mean

Although I can't stand spectators like this, I think a night in jail is a bit over the top for 'throwing crisps'. Heck, Froome was having urine chucked at him back in the day!

They had to wait for the guy to sober up before his court appearance. For realz.

They wanted to question him but couldn't because he was too drunk. So they let him sleep it off.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

Pog pee break, come on Visma

Football fans argue and fight over pathetic things, I'd like to think us cycling fans are bit more civalized..

they have to do something, though. i think a fine would be efficient, as long as it is consistently enforced.

Ah right ok 👍

It's the lyrics to the sporting version of the song by the Killers.

Pog pee break, come on Visma

Where's Jonas Abrahamson when you need him

 

[ashhutch1997]

The Ariege Pyrenees are looking rather stunning today I must say.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Tractors circling as bicycle wheels. Pretty cool.

 

[Slavique Nuke]

I find it a kind of a grey area when the leader stops to pee which causes the whole group to slow down. If I were Visma, I would have gone full throttle.

Where's Jonas Abrahamson when you need him

Difficult to spot without the polka dots on. And I thank god for that

I am currently hiking at the Côte d‘Azur and can testify that 30C is very hot.
