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..

Three months ago Jonas was in the hospital w possible career ending injuries.. He is currently flying considering his circumstances

.. 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..

Also, he will never use those injuries as an excuse. He always says that Tadej is better. Jonas is a solid guy.

You must have a really annoying job if you're unable to actually watch the races.

Worst kept secret in cycling.

Life is more occupying than the job sometimes...

Look, 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.

Ok, just read various mainstream news that CN Forum star 'mou' went pure hollywood celebrity level this hour.

So, who's next here?

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 tonite

Compared to last year Vinge is definitely finding it more difficult to get on Pogi's wheel when he attacks, and looks to be starting to run out of steam. Which is not surprising, just as it wasn't surprising when Pogi eventually cracked last year. It would be great if they could both arrive at the Tour with ideal prep next year but that may be a futile hope, so I find myself just appreciating the fact that we've had a contest these years, as when only one of them is there it would be much less interesting.

Although a GT where Pogi and Remco are the two main contenders will be also interesting in terms of how the bromance goes, I guess
Very impressed with Remco overall.

I had to promise them we go swimming tomorrow afternoon and children park on Friday to get to watch today, Saturday and Sunday stages last hour or so. Life sometimes isn't fair

Kids really respond to PowerPoint presentations, especially dealing with Lance Armstrong, Vaughters and Peter Sagan, and probably some references to Slovenia.. and income earning potential..

Great stage & great to see Remco trying
If Jonas falters, then a great battle for 2nd place is up

So, turns out that whatever insider knowledge this guy might have, it does not extend to other riders. I'm not even sure I saw Champoussin during the stage.
Unless by "go live" he meant post a video or something...

I guess Champoussin's season is ruined now since his focus was solely on this stage 🤣😂

Was this even a real post by mou? Can’t find it here

Lot of his posts got nuked.
Of course, this one's rather harmless.

No, it isn't a real post. Someone photoshopped the original comment and made joke.
The curious thing is that somewhat this screenshot caused some changes in betting odds.

Finally the break gets a break. After several failed attempts last week EF gets its stage win with Carapaz. He picked the right moment to attack and was strong enough to make the gap.

Evenepoel's attack was a bit surprising, but it shows that he's not fading in the third week. Girmay is a step closer to green, so it doesn't look like any of the jerseys will change shoulders anymore.

Nynorsk is not an oral language though

Then let's stick to the gibberish.

Like what do you expect them to do? Vingegaard doesn't have it due to his lack of prep and they're missing a ton of guys they wanted here.

Kuss and Kruijswijk don't weigh 500 kgs, that'd make them almost the biggest people on Earth!
