Paret-Peintre's stature and climbing style reminds me of Virenque.

Danish TV2 just playing a pre-stage interview with Pogacar saying he has never been to La Plagne

How is that even possible, knowing this stage was on the Tour menu?

My gosh he will lose the tour now. It's ... Amazing .. that this sort of Intel is just coming out now. I'm afraid fkr Pog now. Lol.

 

[Pippo_San]

How can VPP not crumble on his own bike?

 

[ppanther92]

Uno X distancing Vaquelin is not the main story I was hoping to get from this stage.

But it will be

 

[dgodave]

That Honda commercial on Peacock really bothers me.

The song sounds AI generated, and I dont like that!

 

[AnotherArmChair]

omg, peacock is so nauseating.

ligget -- after decades and decades -- still does not understand even one bit about the sport.

and now they are trying to say rog is basically going against team orders to attack. un-effin'-real.

Is Peacock not showing the Tour official commentary with Anthony Crossman and Nico Roche ?

 

[Norbea]

Uno x is really useless.

Yeah. Why do anything at all? Keep it boring.

 

[Faserr]

Roglic should go back. UAE and Uno-X won't stop.

 

[Brullnux]

Pog didn't even bother taking that last set of points for the KOM there. Martinez still will need to score points on that last climb but if Pog isn't too bothered, maybe he will

Pogacar looks like he's checked out in all honesty

 

[nightowl]

*** me if a team can’t pace their leader to try and move up in GC on the last mountain stage then what’s the point of having a race at all

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Roglič needs to be told to stop now

 

[Sciatic]

Right he has one teammate to be dropped before la Plagne. What can he achieve with this attack, tire himself so not to help the young german? If Bora loses the podium it's on him.

I see what you're getting at, but if Lipowitz (or the DS) had just stayed with the main group yesterday he would have a secure grip on 3rd

 

[Red Rick]

Yeah. Why do anything at all? Keep it boring.

They're worse. Someone else is doing something and they're nullifying that.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Florian Lipowitz has been abandoned by the team.

 

[AlpRaid]

Is Peacock not showing the Tour official commentary with Anthony Crossman and Nico Roche ?

not where I am.

normally I Tiz. however, this pdf pdf constantly freezes every few seconds, so I have to resort to the absolute idiots on my peacock feed.

If it goes his way, he may have time to check it out for a bit before raising his arms at the finish.

Nothing, its mainly just Roglic fans that doesnt like it. Its obviously the right thing to do

 

[Boehmand]

He knew the race would be over before this stage.

Such a fanboy thing to say

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Lenny dropped luckily.....

 

[QueenStagiaire]

They're worse. Someone else is doing something and they're nullifying that.

That‘s what sometimes happens. It‘s the reason that the early break doesn‘t win every single race.

 

[iBanesto]

Sticky Martinez dropped from the lead group.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Lenny Martinez has as much endurance as he has size...

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Loving Alex Dowsett on ITV

There's a name I haven't heard in a while, I liked him as a rider. So he's a race commentator now?

 

[Brullnux]

Extending the time limit was so pointless, the gruppetto will be like ten minutes back going into La Plagne so they'll have 25 minutes to play with

95% of us here understand that
