de Cauwer making the point that, unlike in other Tours, for one day riders, their races are still to come, so there is less desperation for stage wins than you would get in this Tour.
Bahrain doing serious damage. I really hope this results in people attacking Roglic early. Can't see the break lasting to the summit at this rate.
That or jumbo the the only team left. It's good Bahrain have taken this up thou

Having the same dilemma as yesterday where I think I should probably go and ride my own bike but I really want to watch today...
There won't be many more days like today to go on lovely summer-esque rides this year in England, go ride if you aren't fatigued and watch the highlights of this stage when you get home.
I'm recovering from my highlight ride of the year (if not of the last ~3.5 years) yesterday, after getting an unplanned recent power best 20mins up Cheddar Gorge; down and then up Burrington Combe before crawling over the 100Km mark when I saw I was going to be close due to Three mobile reception loss and consequent navigation errors.

Pogacar releaves the Tour's of it's worst ever Polka Dot wearer.
Oh I'm sure there have been worse. You've got to admire Cosnefroy's determination though. After having been dropped on the Madeleine, many another would have waited for the next group, and saved energy for tomorrow. but he made it back on the descent, well at least for now. Might well work against him not just on this final ascent (likely) but again tomorrow (possible).

Man, if only you'd been a few hours earlier.
Decided to go after now. Hopefully Yodel may be half decent and deliver a shiny new jersey by then too 😶

"How do you think you do on the really steep stuff?"
"Well it's obviously got a higher percentage so you all tend to rider more slowly up, but it is the same for everyone"
Ugh.
It's not fast enough to ride anyone off, but it is fast enough to control the pace.
What is this, have Jumbo bought their services for today?
