Yeah I was using times after the stage to AdH and before the final TT.Hampsten finished 18‘44“ down that year in fourth. If they beat that, it‘s gonna be the biggest gap since Hinault put almost 27 minutes into 3rd and over 28 into 4th in ’79.
I thought it was flu not COVID? But maybe that was Ineos.pogacar had Covid before the start of the TdF. He’s not likely at all to get it again this soon after having it.
Yup, all terrific riders just past their peak years. Of course their peak triumphs still wouldn’t have them winning overall here.
Yes Pogacar definitely had Covid after the GiroI thought it was flu not COVID? But maybe that was Ineos.
And Pogacar is going to explode out of the blue? Letting Evenepoel come as close as possible to Pogacar would effectively make Evenoel an ally of Vingegaard because then Evenepoel's goal would also be to beat Pogacar instead of attacking Vingegaard for 2nd. It was tactically a dumb move by Visma if they really do not care about 2nd place. But i think they simply do care about 2nd place.But Visma‘s best chance at winning is Pogačar blowing up and if that actually happens it would be nice if they weren‘t five minutes behind Remco.

Yeah, but Pogi attacked at only -1,4km from the peak of Col du Noyer.I would assume that they care about their own result. Derek Gee can wait for the TT. Ciccone, Gall and Buitrago need to act if they want to finish in the top 10.
Three months ago Jonas was in the hospital w possible career ending injuries.. He is currently flying considering his circumstancesOh c'mon... I'm not talking about gaps. Without helpers, Vingegaard would lose a minute and you know that. I never saw Vingegaard so bad in the Tour
You missed a day w multiple viable breaks ways and Richard Carapaz making the most of his spotty form, he is not good everyday, but when he is on like today he has great abilities.. GC teams had drone like vision on anything important and decided that today they would not chase..Whoa! Seems I missed something today!

Must watch this night.You missed a day w multiple viable breaks ways and Richard Carapaz making the most of his spotty form, he is not good everyday, but when he is on like today he has great abilities..

Also, he will never use those injuries as an excuse. He always says that Tadej is better. Jonas is a solid guy... putting out 7.3 W/kg uphill performances. I don't doubt his injuries, I doubt his preparation was as far off as it is being portrayed. Sandbagging. And possibly lack of base endurance.
Must watch this night.
Oh boy, now 5 months since I've had a night of +4hours sleep - feels like I was a fresh newborn dad ...but thanks for spoiler anyway..
Life is more occupying than the job sometimes...You must have a really annoying job if you're unable to actually watch the races.

It's maybe the other way around that bike race watching might the cure of distraction for quite more severe things affecting the beloved ones than the purely platonic things like being busy at work round the clock and children's things. If only it had been, but sometimes life struck. But I'm okay with that and cannot wait for toniteLook, what you need to do is sit the kids - or is it grandkids by now? - down and teach them about the joys of cycling! Then you'll have a win-win situation:
1. You get to watch cycling.
2. You get some quality time with the family.
