Philipsen and De Lie getting dropped before Cav, it looks like...

Cav holding on pretty long

De Lie, Campenaerts, Drizners, Denz and Philipsen indeed the last in the race

A sandal could have ruined Pogacar's TdF on Plateau de Beille.

Remarkable statistic: seven places in the top 9 are occupied by the three strongest teams. There's not much left for the others.

And that's with Bora's main guys either crazy out of form (Hindley) or crashing. Cycling is becoming extremely top heavy – UAE, Bora, Visma, Soudal-Quickstep, Ineos, Alpecin, Lidl-Trek between them dominate almost every part of every race.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Yellow jersey group is 6 guys

 

[Samamba]

Half the top 10 is gone lmao

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Snooker lost it's lustre when it, like cycling became too optimised. We've got kids doing marathons and watching what they eat nowadays, it was better when they used to down pints and smoke at the table, give me big Bill Werbeniuk any day of the week, peak physical prowess;

Imagine if Werbeniuk had been a cyclist. His team would have went bankrupt from buying enough bottles to keep him hydrated.

The man who claimed he was physically incapable of playing snooker without drinking at least eight pints.

Pog will have to touch the breaks to not win this stage

They used to call Carlos Betancur the Colombian Werbeniuk

 

[fbjim]

did anyone else have a double take for a moment because they forgot Vingegaard wasn't in the climber's jersey anymore

 

[Brullnux]

Half the top 10 is gone lmao

5-12 minus CRod, no?

 

[iBanesto]

Landa in the breakaway group.

Surely UAE won't give a free ride for Landa to overtake Almeida.

 

[RobertCrawley]

In an interview with Seb Piquet, Remco said he's not going to try to put time into Jonas today. He's hoping for a good time trial tomorrow.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Pocagar is going to defacto end up in the break because everyone is too nackered

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Another quiet day on the tour...

 

[Brullnux]

Time for Pogacar's 100km solo

 

[Rollthedice]

The way things are going Pog has no other option but to win the stage.

 

[Tim Cahill]

What are UAE doing chasing down Wilco, just let it go

 

[Red Rick]

" break can win, as long as I approve"

 

[houtdffan]

looks like Pog and Remco in the break, LOL

 

[Brullnux]

The way things are going Pog has no other option but to win the stage.

I really wanted the break to win but then my teammates really wanted me to go for the stage

 

[Colombiano Cadence]

If UAE control this for Pogi win they will genuinely become hated.

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

If UAE control this for Pogi win they will genuinely become hated.

So far it’s only been Almeida controlling this for Almeida ( = catching Landa to keep his 4th place)

 

[iBanesto]

What are UAE doing chasing down Wilco, just let it go

No one likes Jumbo/Visma.

 

[Didinho]

I’m hoping every day for a Remco-Pogi duo attack. Give it today please.
