Impressive. Also fun to see “mettre en danseuse” = dancing on the pedals

Vingegaard's perfomances the last 2 days gives us all hope for an exiting Tour.

But I'd like to remind everyone, that he did the exact same thing to everyone else at the Tour last year - except for Pogacar, who did it better and was down the road.

I'm hanging my hat on last year being ruined by the PN crash, to keep the faith alive - and ignoring that he is doing the double while Pogacar is not

Kuss was very good in both Tour and Vuelta last year, they should just send him to 3 GTs and no other races every season because with a couple of exceptions he's always been average outside of them.*

*bring back the tour of utah

He really doesn't ride much other than a few one-week races and GTs. He won Burgos in 2024.

Vingegaard seems on the right trajectory for the Tour but Little Lenny has upped his game with a 2nd with a flat - impressive!

Considering last year Almeida was slaying it this is a bit of a setback.

How influential was his crash on Friday? Any info from the rider himself? Terrible performances in Catalunya.

Maybe its only Pogis domestics that get the VIP training treatment in UAE look at Ayuso last year. Almeida has not reached his 25 level this spring.
