I would not have thought Tadej would put time into Jonas on rhe descent. The gap was only 7 seconds on rhe top of rhe Galibier.

Jonas practiced descents prior to rhe Tour to regain his confidence after his terrible crash. It's tough. It will be interesting to see what he says about that.

It wasn't a very technical descent though, long winding road but not many sharp turns, gives enough time for Pogi power to develop.

I dont think the Tour is over but Visma team are poor ...Vinge could have done with someone over that climb

I think they shouldn't panic though


I thought Remco did very well but needs to do some descending practice

Good that he and Landa were there to the top of the climb ...all still to fight for for them

Roglis looked poor on the ascent though

Rodriquez looked good and a very good descender

Did you say the same on stage 4 the last two years as well? :p
the problem is that UAE can more or less dictate where the cabinet shall stay, as they have like 5 riders that all seem to be over Visma's second strongest rider.
If VIngegaard gonna be this alone on mountain stages, against a handful of UAE... that is serious uphill for Vingegaard trying to wear Pogacar.
 
Dunno how you can tell, everyone remembers "last man left with Tadej and Jonas" Sepp, nobody remembers the other half the time when he's "cracks alongside random Frenchmen halfway up the hill for no apparent reason" Sepp.

Kuss did have a fantastic habit of being there when needed though...

but with Jorgenson and Kelderman already having wounds to lick, and van Aert not in previous years shape seemingly?

Does not look anything like the help Vingegaard got the last 2 years.
