Good performance still. Probably sat up a bit. Knowing he has no chance to repeat what he did last year and get on the podium.
And if Almeida + Ayuso are this good... he doesnt need to be better atm.

It was entertaining:
Poga imposing his authority
Vinge "playing the long game"
Roglic good recovery
Remco nice ride
*very nice ride by Landani
we're getting the Top4

And like that Ayuso gets the green light to go balls out in the ITT

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

Sets up the time trial really nicely. Remco vs Pogacar. Shame it will be over after gravel stage 9 but we can enjoy some tension in the next days .

Jonas has power as well, as we saw in the TT last year.

Vingegaard would lose a minute if he was alone. He was on the limit.
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

Pogacar put 3 seconds into Vingegaard at the very start (Vingo took a bit longer to recover, as can be expected), then like 1 or 2 on the rest of the technical section, then 25s on the power bit.

Looked like he gave it all tbh, I guess he felt the effort more than usual at the end.

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.Did you say the same on stage 4 the last two years as well?
If VIngegaard gonna be this alone on mountain stages, against a handful of UAE... that is serious uphill for Vingegaard trying to wear Pogacar.

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.
Perfect stage to illustrate why descends and descend finishes are part of cycling and everyone (looking at you benji) going on, atleast a soft, social media campaign against them everytime one is sheduled, are doing the sport a major disservice.
Mas lost 4 minutes already... but really the most frustrating part isn't how far he was from the pace today, it's that every year at the Tour de France i truly believe he might prove people wrong this time. Ah well, there is always next year, eh?

That gap for Pogacar looks really big and will probably be quite a bit bigger after the TT. But honestly, since the next high mountain stage happens 11 days from now, we have no idea what the balance of power will be then. The only thing we know now is that once the peloton hits the pyrenees, it's Visma that needs to attack and not UAE.

Bernal actually was faster today than in 2019!
Oh well!

I'm astounded at the tour over comments. Almost all that time was taken on the descent, and it's week one.
Beautiful to watch. Going to be a great tour I think
