Jonas is on upper curve I guess. Maybe we are in for interesting end of the week. I still think Pog takes this.

 

[dazaau]

Congrats Paret Peintre. I was cheering for Healy, near miss.

I think 54 minutes something by Pogi. New record!

Honestly as much belongs to Jonas as Pog.

 

[postmanhat]

Disappointing winner

France always deserves one winner at least? To do it on Ventoux makes it even better.

 

[proffate]

Poor Enrique

Vpp really looks like one of those dancing skeletons from El dia de los muertos

 

[Berniece]

4 wins for Soudal. Isn't that abusive like other teams?

Is it the same person?

 

[dobrien]

Its clear Jonas is on the up, and maybe Pog is on the down. Could be a good weekend of entertainment.

Too bad the gap is so huge.

 

[Peyroteo94]

Pogacar/Vingegaard went very fast, new record I think

Something like 44'40" at 15.7 to the top.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Vingegaard's getting attacked by the press, but not in that way.

 

[E_F_]

wtf Jonas crashed by a photographer!!

 

[dazaau]

Well... He was riding demonstrably easily and took a few seconds on him.

Well it looked like he either blew earlier or went (was asked) back to help lipo. I think it was The latter given what we saw after.

 

[Miha81]

Honestly as much belongs to Jonas as Pog.

To the whole TJV. They really paced Pog nicely on the climb

 

[Heston]

Halland nowhere to be seen

 

[dobrien]

Great stage, agree with some others, best stage of the Tour for me so far. Really glad to see VPP get this, belongs as much to Van Wilder, what a clutch ride.

 

[Squire]

Was really hoping for Mas, but an excellent stage in terms of entertainment. Helped by Mas not winning by keeping the solo going from way down the mountain, really.

 

[postmanhat]

Well lets not bother with seeing the rest of the top ten GC riders come over the line

Old man Roglic still rocks it you young punks 👑

 

[Poursuivant]

Excellent climber but just sat on Healy’s wheel

He won’t care he won

 

[madthebad]

After being invisible with Remco in the race now VPP wins on Mont Ventoux . Remco must be fuming .

 

[fenns]

good to see that the breakaway guys held on - Pog did not deserve to win that stage

 

[Unchained]

Great finish!!

Urska wears her helmet everywhere

 

[Rob5091]

Remco goes home and VPP gets the win, chapeau ...Healy a mention in dispatches, but the GC seems set as is, barring an accident or illness.
