All around tactical masterclass. Bora potentially throwing away the podium because they refused to pull in the valley. Visma unable to get a single satellit rider over the Madeleine. UAE doing a zone two ride to gift O'Connor the stage.

Kudos for the young man to try something big, but Onley or Roglic will take his podium spot today.

Imagine if Picnic ends up on the podium - and they have Onley under contract until 2027 - it will completely change the fate of the team :oops:

Quite frankly, I don't mind. He was the only one actually doing something. Everyone else has been ironing the wrinkles out of their ballsacks all the way since the Madeleine.
He was on the podium and had the white jersey... in his first TdF.

Thats not something you should throw away.

they did the first 16 km. They literally went through Courchervel on the climb 2 years ago. That's where Pog blew apart

2020 did a totally different side

They don't go via meribel today. Meribel is from the west, so they went through courchebel round to the west to meribel and then up to Loze. Today they went straight up the east side from courchevel. It's a different climb up the other side of the mountain to the same summit

Pocagar did not blow up in courchevel 2 years ago. That's just completely false.

he blew up well before Meribel, which puts him in Courchervel

Yes, as I said, they took a late climb detour around 1600m, after doing the first 15-16km of the climb they did today then hit the Loze from the opposite side
