i think it is clear that the winner of this race, if he had not crashed, would have been big primoz roglic

Michele Gazzoli didn't even make it through the first stage. If he had found his legendary Tour of Norway legs from last year, it would have been a completely different race.

So after today the race for yellow looks over. Pogacar has to keep his focus and avoid crashes.

 

[fbjim]

the mythical peak padun would have attacked on bonnette

 

[Potomac]

Van Garderen pretty butthurt in the post race.

He sounded like total loser, like a somebody begging. ohhh pleeeeze Mr Pogacar let somebody else win boo hoo hoo it isn't fair

 

[Sciatic]

This area probably looks prettier in the winter

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

American and British cycling commentators can go ahead a share a jumbo sized bag of Ds.

 

[Potomac]

As an American and EF fan....I'm really liking this.

Well, that didn't age well.

 

[Gratemans]

Tejay is criticizing Tadej for winning the stage and not allowing others (Americans) some glory. I'm sorry. If people don't like him winning, then they have to beat him.

This is sport.

Hear hear.
I actually would have preferred Jorgensen to win today, but people claiming Pogi is somehow obligated to hand others a win are completely delusional imo.

 

[Bolder]

Fact is the team believed in Vinge, they must've seen the numbers in training and asses he can beat the Pog. It turned out to be a complete humiliation.

That's a little harsh, man. I don't think he humiliated Jonas. Ofc they believed in him but there were 2 huge unknowns, one being Pogs shape after the Giro and Jonas' ability to go deep in multiple mountain stages.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Bookwalter said that he saw signs along the parcours that read, "I'm dead. I'm gone."

I'm sure that was some fuel for Tadej's domination.

 

[saunaking]

haha Soler pushing ahead of Siv

Apparently the safest place is across the line first

So some good news from today!

 

[movingtarget]

That went about as expected. Once the gap got down to two minutes it was over for Jorgenson but a great ride anyway. Another strong ride by Carapaz and Yates. Vingegaard probably realized a few days ago that there was nothing he could do but he's still doing better than many expected pre Tour. Another solid ride by Remco.

 

[Rackham]

Cycling is dead and gianeti has killed it.

I refuse to do a triage between UAE & Visma.

I can't just erase the TdF 2023 & that ITT from memory. Nor should we underestimate just how insane it is for Vingegaard to even be at this level considering what happened in April.

 

[BigL]

Amazing scenes. Riders crying, puking, looking for priests. Meanwhile Pogacar seems to casually be making dinner plans with some woman in a straw hat. Dominance.

No way Jonas is humiliated given his comeback. On the contrary, his Tour has been heroic.

 

[jono]

Honestly Gee at 8th on GC is more shocking than anything these freaks at the front are doing.

 

[saunaking]

Perhaps he wants to make sure he doesn’t destroy himself

Maybe doesnt wanna be Lance-greedy. Like Lance retiring and i can't remember his exact quote but said he was thinking "i could stomp all these chumps!" and then coming back

 

[Andre]

I for one never thought Vingo would finish in the top three

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Visma and UAE trying to figure which one killed cycling.

 

[Sciatic]

That was a funny montage of riders down the standings coming in together

 

[Potomac]

Same. Vingo has really impressed me.
Bring on the 2025 TdF

Thank you. It’s absolutely ridiculous.

Totally agree. Jonas's stage 11 win was epic--probably the best stage of this year's TDF.
