Yep. I’ve seen hens scalp their own chicks because they were a different colour from the others.

Doing a bit of travel so wasn’t able to watch this stage. Sounds like it’s worthwhile though. Pogi attacking on the Champs? Peoples rider indeed.

Nice to see Pogi found his legs again.

Hoping for an awesome 2024 edition with Pog, Vinge and Remco battling it out to the end!

Yeah fair enough. Disappointment is subjective, so we’re all going to have different takeaways.

The disappointment for me was because the race was lost today. Pog cracked so hard his other rivals gained significant time on him while Vinge extended to an insurmountable lead. If Vinge attacked and Pog couldn’t follow, it would have been one thing, but it’s always disappointing seeing someone crack so hard they go backwards.

I don’t particularly fanboy over anyone, so for me it takes a bit of the excitement away when someone dominates, as it detracts from the racing.

Was not expecting to wake up to that this morning. Pog has really cracked. I wonder if this is what his GTs will look like now or if his prep affected him significantly. His numbers have been huge this year, is Jonas just that one level above?

Jonas is an absolute weapon. Other social media sites are understandably asking questions regarding legitimacy, but I think he’s fair dinkum. Disappointing end to the GC comp, hopefully we get a fight to the end next year.

Holy shit, that performance from Vinge was just inhuman. You can’t fault Pogi, but Vinge is just on another level.

It’s funny, I’ve noticed the yellow helmets and number tags changing teams a lot this year, so I’ve been following it. It’s been as close as the GC!

The last time I took notice was during the Movistar trident days, when nobody cared except them.

You have to feel for Wout missing the focus on him. What a win too! Well deserved and fantastic to see him get the win for the split second it showed him!

Top two are insanely evenly matched. They’re both looking spent after every stage. It couldn’t be closer!

MVPs for Jonas: Wout van Aert, Sepp Kuss, Camera Motorbike.

What an epic stage though. More battles to come! My favourite TdF to date.

I thought he was trying to put Van Gils between him and Vinge but didn’t quite get the timing right.

I also noticed Vinge almost collapsed at the line and needed assistance to move away from the finish line (as did a lot of others). I think they’re both giving their max.
