Tour de France Tour de France 2024:Stage 21: Monaco - Nice, 21/07, 33.7k (ITT)

[Moose McKnuckles]

Only 17 riders finished within 1 hour of Pog, and only 9 finished within 30 minutes.
I see @Miha81 beat me to it. Salut.

I don’t think we’ll hear any more comments about Jonas’s anatomy from Remco from now on.

Actually quite a good TT from Remco; I think this one really suited Jonas a lot more. But to your point, yes, Remco may choose a little more discretion in his quotes in the future lest they come back to bite him in the, well, you know...

So, when was the last time a GC rider won 3 consecutive Tour stages?

As so often...:

Fittingly enough, also with a big middle finger move to the big rival team when he chased down Klöden for the third win.

Never thought I’d see the giro tour double again

Pogi, the best and most versatile cyclist in the world. After 2 years struggling at the tour he's back on top.

Except he didn't win.

Now the obvious question: Would you like to see it again in the future?

The biggest fraud in the history of the sport who famously chased down a rider who complained about the state of the sport has thoughts about "disrespect". Cannot possibly extend a bigger middle finger to Armstrong and his entire legacy. A complete tool.

This times about 40 quadrillion. Couldn't agree more. That's why it's still a challenge for me to watch the Tour on Peacock with Phil and Bobke; those two had their noses so far up Lance's a** during the bad old days, still brings back unpleasant memories hearing their voices.

I think the big gaps are becoming the norm. There were only 15 and 16 riders within an hour the last 2 years

 

[RobertCrawley]

and Sean Kelly on live Eurosport said the F-word ? and was reprimanded by mother Orla.. < sheesh>

I always a little surprised that anyone can understand what he says.

He might beat the record for it lol

 

[awavey]

oh I like that CAXXXV

 

[Salvarani]

so apparently it's now normal to shred the spring classics, win 6 stages and gc by 6min in Giro, 6 stages and GC by 6 mims in Tour all without a single bad day a still look fresh as daisy when everyone around are almost dead...
he couls now win the WCH with smile on his face a then 6 stages and gc of Vuelta if he wants and nobody would even raise an eyebrow

New GOAT

 

[RobertCrawley]

And now, your San Antonio Spuuuuuuurrrrrsssss!!!

 

[AmRacer]

Cav...

 

[Netserk]

Where is Abra? This is his prize, goddamnit.

 

[red_flanders]

Remco was lucky that all the second tier GC guys were on domestique duty. He can celebrate the Tour podium as a once-in-a-lifetime achievement.

Is there a "Bad Cycling Takes" contest happening today?

Don't forget those double OGs and Lombardias, mind you.

theres a way the Irish use the f word its unmistakeable

They brought back the black lanterne rouge jersey just for Cav.

Incredible performance by Pogacar which nobody predicted before the Tour. Finally after 26 years another Giro Tour double. Never believed I would see that in the modern era. We should not be surprised by today. He seemed so fresh in the 3rd week despite the Giro in his legs.

People will say Vingegaard was badly injured and that is true. But that actually makes Vingegaard's performance even more unbelievable. There is no doubt Visma believed they could beat Tadej. But IMO human physiology gave them a reality check.
