Hard to see them getting a podium at the moment. Carapaz needs time on Vingegaard and Uran before the TT and not looking like getting it.mididoctors said:Jumbo saving their tour ... Ineos not so much ...

Yes, the way he has followed Carapaz to a 5' 33" lead has been embarrassingzest28 said:Seems like the strategy of Pogacar this tour is just to follow Carapez, just like what he did to Roglic last year.
Ineos must be going mad that everytime they look behind, there is Pogacar behind them smiling.3 -

Kuss looked smooth downhill be interesting to know how much of an advantage local knowledge was - for me it'd help a lot but whether that's the same for the pros ...?[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0

Decent stage that (at least with the sound off and also watching the tennis)0

Kuss lives here so he knows those descents on the back of his hand. So can’t blame Valverde for that performance against Kussmididoctors said:

How is carapaz going to drop the Dane and get on the podium? Or drop Uran enough for a buffer in the TT"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way.

Then dropped them back to do nothing more than stoke the engine.mididoctors said:

Before the start, Eurosport were talking this one up as the Queen stage. It obviously isn't, but I suppose they felt the need to spice things up a bit.
The change in the GC is that it's back to exactly where it was before yesterday's breakaway and Martin's 5 minute bonus.

Carapaz need to get a minute plus on Uran and Vingergaard from somewhere before the TT if he wants to be on the final podium. All in on either the Portet or Luz Ardiden looks like the only chance now but I'm not sure he has what is needed this year.0

Plan has to be go hard on Wednesday to break them, then make up the time on Thursday. Or, give up.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
I am not sure. You have no chance.Veronese68 wrote:PB is the most sensible person on here.0 -

Cavendish in safe . Didn't look like it had been terribly stressful for them, just saving as much effort as possible.0

Don't think anyone was especially worried?
EBH is surely going to be timed out though.0 -
They got it spot on.rick_chasey said:Jumbo doing a good job salvaging their Tour here fair play.
Got a lot of heat earlier in the day for their tactics but they’re coming out on top here
These tactics took a lot of confidence in Vingegaard“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -

EBH has not appeared in the stage ranking, which means he is definitely OTL."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
Just hope EBH gets in safely. He was all over the place the last time they showed him on the climb.0

It will be interesting to see how many turn up for the start after the rest day and how many head for the airport and Tokyo.RichN95. said:EBH finished 25 minutes outside the time cut.
