Tour de France Tour de France 2024, Stage 5: Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne > Saint-Vulbas, 177.4 km

[Unchained]

Rigged

It looked like a Trek rider who beefed the barrier at 80 would disagree.. and if he was in on it..Hollywood!! That was the best pretend crash, pretending to try to win I have ever seen.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

This Tour has delivered so far.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Cav made that look easy. Hopefully now we can stop talking about it.

Yes, Liggett is completely soiling himself, hope he can finally shut up about him.

(I am happy for Cav, though, he has earned his moment in the spotlight today.)

 

[Ricco']

Bardet, Girmay, Cavendish. This is a Tour of fairytales.

TdF: Unchained S3 is going to be a banger

Cav literally finished unchained today

 

[dobrien]

Mission accomplished. Cav can retire now.

I'm thinking there is no one happier about this today than Peta!

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Gawd got to see Vino's teeth again

 

[Ricco']

This bloke is utterly unreal. How many times can you pick yourself up and go again - at least once more.

Still remember how Cav's win and maillot jaune in 2016 felt like a return from the ashes... That was 8 years ago... Amazing longevity

 

[Rechtschreibfehler]

Hearing about how insufferable English ES is going to be, I have to say that Eisel, his best man, isn't doing this at all at German ES. In fact he was just starstruck by it, and was hesitant to believe it because he thought he might have made a punishable move.

Cav might have just saved Vino and the team - congrats on number 35, but man was that a messy old sprint and lots of argy bargy.

Yep. Nice work of wheel surfing by Cav. And then hammering out the win.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Vino attacking Cav during the interview has to be among Vino‘s biggest attacks.

 

[Logic-is-your-friend]

This is him!!! This is what he does!! GOAT!!! For sprints this, I say this new generation is very weak, he is 39 years old and still is Tour's stage winner. Incredible bike handling, incredible acceleration, this is the real deal!!

The new generation can actually get over a molehill.

 

[Gratemans]

He might be a bit of a *** on the bike, but I must admit he started to grow on me throughout the years. Really happy for the dude.

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Bardet, Girmay, Cavendish. This is a Tour of fairytales.

and now we just need Remco to win yellow and the forum can self ignite and implode

 

[Peyroteo94]

The new generation can actually get over a molehill.

He still won MSR

 

[AmRacer]

Pogi, "I'll make it 36 in 5 more years."

Speaking of which, 16 years between first and last Tour stage win now. That must be at least close to a record too?

 

[Andy262]

Unbelievable. Greatest sprinter of all time.

Come on @Froome you can do it too.

 

[tobydawq]

Was it Renard who bunny-hopped Mads P? Incredible skill.

It turns out it was Zingle.

Magical reaction.

 

[Potomac]

Ligget in tears talking about Cavendish.
Totally unprofessional

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Liggett in tears of joy... he's old, I'll allow it.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

Come on @Froome you can do it too.

He needs to wait until 2028 to pull that one off!

 

[Mayomaniac]

Unbelievable. Greatest sprinter of all time.

That's like being the world's tallest midget, another title that he could claim.
