kiddy Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) Considering his interaction with the spectators & obvious enjoyment of this years race, it makes yesterday’s mechanical/jury decision all the more heartbreaking.

He was bang in form & doesn’t now get the chance for a Paris farewell. Seemed completely innocuous. Think his thousand yard stare, whilst in the back of the ambulance, says it all.

kiddy Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) Wonder if there’ll be a time gap between Pogacar & Vingegaard? Pog finished 10th, but there was more than a bike length between 17th & Vingegaard in 18th? Edit: Apparently 3sec time gap on flat stages.

Bike racing is a cruel sport sometimes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddy Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Gutted for Jorgensen, who was peddling squares in the last 500m, not even finishing in the top 3. Well paced come back from Woods, to pull back nigh on 2 mins in the final 4km. Pog narrows the gap going into the rest days, but the top 2 still stick time into the rest; including 2 other GT winners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Didn't watch live and only just watched the highlights. Why were AG2R riding hard in the peloton when Ben O'Connor was off the back in the middle portion of the race? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 That was an insane effort from Pogacar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm delighted that my prediction of a 5+ min win for Vin is proving utter mince. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddy Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) There’s no way Vingegaard was taking the bonus seconds had the motorbikes not got in Pog’s road. Kellydid add that he thought the top would have been barriered off, but it was a stick on sprint at the top of the Joux Plane. ASO should have been telling them to keep well in front of the riders, even if it meant crowds filling in after them. Wasn’t having Robbie McEwen’s blaming of Pog not paying attention, as he’d just committed to two major attacks in the last 5 km of the climb. Bikers virtually handed the bonus seconds to the Dane.
