With GC positions 4-8 all within about a minute of eachother, I’d expect to see a bit of a shake up there.
It’s amazing how strong all these riders are - tour winning numbers in any other generation, but Pogacar and Vingegaard are just that much better. What do the others need to eat for brekkie to get on the same level?
If I was a betting man, there’s zero chance I’d place money on this, but Peter Sagan drawing the energy of past Peter Sagans and getting into the breakaway, then dropping his breakaway compatriots on the final climb and descending like Green Jersey Peter for a monumental final TdF win is what I’m going to fantasise about for this stage.
Fun stage so far. Good to see Ben O has found his legs. Hoping the breakaway stays away today, but I also want to see GC fireworks.
Just caught up this morning. Puy de Dome was such a great and unique climb to watch. It was such a fantastic way to round out week one of racing.
With the GC gap down to 17 seconds between JV and TP, week two is going to be epic!
Vinge looked gas yesterday and TJV burnt a few bikkies chasing the break for WvA. I reckon this one will be down to the line between Pog and Vinge.
Want to also say thanks to @Krob for putting up these threads. It’s hard building a community from scratch, but it’s great seeing these threads pop up consistently and reasonable participation here.
Ahh fuck. Not like this Cav. Absolutely gutted for him.
Can’t believe I fell asleep before the final climb last night. Late tour nights definitely take it out of me!
Just caught up. Pogi played the game right today. Tour not over! WvA almost needed to be stretchered up the hill he went so deep, great teamwork and performance from him.
This has been an epic TdF, and it’s only week 1!
