Looks like the break at 7 mins won’t trouble Bardet so I can’t see any team bothered to pull them in, the Cat 3 with 20km is pretty brutal looking and will stop any sprint team’s pushing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted Sunday at 14:25 Share Posted Sunday at 14:25 For some reason known only to themselves the peleton have put the hammer down and are closing the gap rapidly, now under 5 minutes. Cavendish 5 minutes behind the peleton with Jakobsen a further 2+ minutes back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted Sunday at 15:25 Share Posted Sunday at 15:25 Pogacar and Vingegaard make a move on the final climb and pick up enough time for Pogacar to go into yellow. Great ride by Kevin Vaquelin to take the stage win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting harder to convince my daughter it's the Tour de France I'm watching and not the Giro. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted yesterday at 19:28 Share Posted yesterday at 19:28 (edited) Bit of history made with Biniam Girmay becoming the first black African to win a stage. A crash about 2k out left a lot of riders out of position, including Cavendish. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/articles/c3gwq0nnn4po Edited yesterday at 19:33 by peasy23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanton Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago Thankfully Girmay managed not to injure himself on the podium this time, after his mishap at the Giro with the champagne cork . Looks like another tough day ahead tomorrow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Not really a fan of having a climb as big as the Galibier this early in the race. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Aye, the first week has been ridiculous and we're only on Tuesday! Two tough hilly stages and then a chaotic sprint before the Galibeier and it's only stage 4. Will be interesting to see if anyone attacks today - conventional wisdom suggests UAE would try and put Vinegaard under pressure but he reacted well to the attack on the San Luca. So they might play cat and mouse today which maybe suits Carapaz and Remco if they can keep up with the big two. Also need to see if Roglic can get back into the mix. Looking forward to sitting with Gary, Ned and David all afternoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Sublime from Tadej. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Mental descending. Fair play to Remco, I thought he was going to be miles back after losing down on the first downhill section but he got back to the second group and picked up some bonus seconds. He'll be eyeing up that time trial. Roglic dropped slightly on the climb and Vinegaard unable to keep up with the explosion from Pogacar, the bit where Tadej basically freewheeled round a hairpin then stepped on the pedals full gas was a crazy move. Pidcock showing he's not ready to do GC and Bernal showing he's not quite back to his best leaves Rodriguez as clear Ineos leader and looking a decent bet for a top 5. Couple of sprint days coming I think so hopefully a change for Cavendish to get number 35. Although he might not have the record from long if he does get it, the rate Pogacar racks up the stage wins. 12 now in the Tour and he's only 25! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
