I get that. For me it’s 7am Sat morning still on my 1st cup of coffee, and because it’s the final road stage I would be watching no matter what. I’m tranquilo

Well I'm obviously also still watching, just don't really like gifted stages in super mountain stages, but love a breakaway win when it's a super hard fought one. For example if Jorgensen wasn't a Visma rider I would've been heartbroken yesterday. Cause the team did everything perfect honestly. Just Pogacar being an alien.

 

[Samamba]

I'm sorry, I just wanted a french rider in my fantasy cycling team.

Bbbut he' isn't French tho...

Honestly it looks like UAE are keeping the gap down in case Soler can’t win with Quickstep.

I don't think he has to change his nationality, but maybe he would have more success if he changed his name to France Gall. It has worked before.

Isn't it Soudal that's pulling though?

 

[fbjim]

this is such a gorgeous part of france and it's a crime that they don't do legitimate GC stages here more often

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Mas is going to be good at the Vuelta

 

[Sciatic]

Someone remind me why Powless has been so powerless this Tour. Prior crash or illness?

Well I thought he was.

It’s Quickstep doing the pacing though.

Both? Didn’t he crash in Dauphine and then got Covid?

 

[No Excuses]

4 min. are not enough to survive teddy

 

[KOM]

Allright UAE its game time, cant let this happen

 

[perico]

Mas is going to be good at the Vuelta

These are training KMs for Enric. He rode less races this year in the lead up to the TdF than he ever has.

It was pretty obvious that he didn’t want another 6th place here, when the Vuelta has always suited him.

Plus he always rides himself into good form. His strength is that he recovers better than most over 2 GTs.

Vingegaard needs to distract Pog. If he gets bored it is all over for the breakaway.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Portugal isn't prepared for the large dose of Landismo it's about to receive

 

[Slavique Nuke]

switched from BMCs to literal department store bikes. sad to see

In the spring they rode as if they were using an e-bike

 

[Sciatic]

Both? Didn’t he crash in Dauphine and then got Covid?

Thanks.

We were at the start of stage 5 and my wife overheard him having a conversation with another fan; she said he was “the politest, nicest young man in the world.” But also that he said “I’ll be mostly looking after Ben,” so I suspect his main role this year has been to support Healy. I think if he was to pick a stage he might have a chance to do his own thing, this one wouldn’t be it.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

The king of cool flying down the mountain in his aviators.

The fact he's descending and not wearing a helmet kind of frightens me. (Some things have changed for the better methinks.)

 

[Colombiano Cadence]

4 min. are not enough to survive teddy

Yeah, but only Pogi though. No one else in peloton will close 4 mins in the likes of Carapaz and mas

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Carapaz looks right in the polka dots

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Boooo, Van Wilder has clearly been bribed by Greedačar

 

[Tim Cahill]

Soler dropping is bad news for the break
