Thinking AG2R should drill it on the false flat to catch Roglic. With as much work as he has already done today Gall might be able to get a big gap on him today and catch him on gc.
After his failure in the valley yesterday, you'd hope they do something just to show they've learnt something. They might be harbouring delusions of s stage win though?

Too many chiefs. Lipo isn't going to ride b**ch for Remco.

I don't think there is the disharmony in the team people assume, I have seen no signs of that - I think people are projecting because Roglic got bitchy towards the end at Visma.

RB has a lot of cash and Lipowitz is a stellar talent - with a HUGE market behind him - there is no way they are letting him go.

I see them giving Roglic the Giro next year, and then enter with Lipowitz and Evenepoel as co-captains and Roglic as a luxury dom.

If anyone is getting kicked to the kerb it's Roglic, because of his age, but his performances yesterday and today speak against that - and he didn't crash at all :p

Great to hear from ambassador for fair play in cycling Roman Kreuziger about the incident yesterday.

At least they alternate between which rider they give the bottles to. Last year it was Buitrago, now it's Martinez. Finding out who the next guy will be is in itself enough reason to watch the race in 2026.

Roglic's lead to the Pogacar group is now less than 1 minute.

Well played Red Bull... well played.

Nah, if we take yesterday as a reference point, what will happen instead is Gall drops back to the Vauquelin group

If we're gonna talk about luck, there's something to be said for getting breakaway mates that can't even hold your wheel on a descent where you're taking it pretty easy.

hello moto!

we sure seeing riders from the front, but I wish it would be applied equally across the groups.

edit: exactly like this, yes!
