I think so, yes, Peloton obliterated but in the end nothing happened on GC. Great victory for Pello Bilbao, thoughRecall how good the first half of this stage was?

What I don't understand is how Jorgenson suddenly inspires so much fear that he's considered the Roglic of 2025.I don't get the thing with Jorgensson in the break. The only way UAE let him go is if he's undercover wearing an Arkea jersey.
It is a pretty big deal there. The French language TDF guide I bought has a 2-page spread on past Bastille Day winners. But it’s been pretty bleak in that regard lately. Barguil was the last one in 2017.Lol. I love that Bastille Day stuff, or "rider X was born right near the start/finish!"
Hardly ever amounts to anything yet you keep reading it in all previews each and every year.
I’m well aware of that, but nobody is immune to fatigue.
Pereiro was a lower rank top-10 rider tooWhat I don't understand is how Jorgenson suddenly inspires so much fear that he's considered the Roglic of 2025.
Jorgenson finished half an hour behind last year. He couldn't even keep up with Remco.
In Dauphiné, there were already doubts about whether he could fight the podium at the Tour, but now, if he wins 5 minutes tomorrow, he'd be a contender to win the Tour, when once again he couldn't match Remco's pace in the mountains.
Furthermore, Jorgenson himself said a few months ago that he didn't see himself leading a Giro. He'll lose 1-2 minutes on each high-mountain stage. Last year, there were days when he lost significantly more.
That's my point. It's a pretty big deal everywhere: come le quatorze, each paper and website will say "watch out for the French on the 14th" yet nothing ever comes of it. Yes, Barguil won in 2017 but with the amount of French riders participating, it only makes sense they win every once in a while on the 14th. But it's not like they manage to win more often on that particular date.It is a pretty big deal there. The French language TDF guide I bought has a 2-page spread on past Bastille Day winners.

Pogi is 99% of the time but yes the rest usually are less immune to fatigue.I’m well aware of that, but nobody is immune to fatigue.
They won 2 or at most 3 times each decade from the 1950s through 2010, so as you say it never was that common, even when French cycling was at a much higher level.That's my point.

PREVIEW | Tour de France 2025 stage 10 - Visma-UAE battle could lead to stage of the year
The 2025 Tour de France will be the biggest and most important race of the season and will be taking place between the 5th and 27th of July. This is the sport's climax of the season and every year it...cyclinguptodate.com
Looks like a headwind tomorrow
I would love to be proven wrong, but I don't see him winning the stage or the combativity award tomorrow. He took a jump a couple days ago before fading quite quickly.well I know 3 riders that will be in the break
Julian Alan Philip
Very probably. And all three will be caught before the actual break forms.well I know 3 riders that will be in the break

Storer as well and maybe Simon Yates.So GoodDay Ben O Connor ....the fight back begins now
So whats the story with Vlasov
why is he MIA all the time ...needs to step up tomorrow as Bora cant be expected to rely on the other two
Also might see a Yates in the breakaway
Sitting in. Close to sivakov. Keeping an eye on himSo GoodDay Ben O Connor ....the fight back begins now

10th straight day of racing, I think this will be one of the hardest stages of the Tour.
