Two perfect bike throws there, Clarke just had that touch more speed at the start of the lunge.
Rog loses about 1' 50" to the Thomas group and 2'10" to Pog by my reckoning. Who would have thought the culprit would be a hay bale rather than the cobbles?0 -

Ef had a plan and executed it"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. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

This.Jtomesgreen said:Well that move by Boasson Hagen is probably one of the worst tactical decisions I've seen in a while. Sprinted to close down Powless at 600 to go and kept going
He watched Powless jump, did nothing, then shot his load chasing for at least 300 metres.
He could have closed him down as soon as he moved as he was running on empty.
Especially as he was rubbish at the game of chicken.
Novice mistake for a guy with tons of experience."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -

Plenty to talk about"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. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

Good to have a stage that was being talked up actually delivering some excitement.
Souns like Orla was shouting at the screen as well, her voice is nearly gone.0 -
That was fun. Unless you were riding in it, I suspect.Head Hands Heart Lungs Legs1

Roglic 2:17 behind Pogacar. He's not winning this race.0

Rowe interview interesting"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. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

Pretty cool to see a guy who looked like he was on the scrap heap in January win such a major stage of the Tour.
The break deserved to win.
Once again the cobbled stage has had quite an impact on the GC0 -

Just realised how lucky Vingegaard was that a large group came past just as he finally got his own spare bike.0

TP was also working with WvA to bring Pod s gap down.andyrr said:
Finished in the group 13 seconds behind Pogacar, same time as a certain Mr. vanAert Waaaaay out of his depth but as we know, the resident expert confirmed he won’t get past stage 8 so not long to go now.Pross said:

his name hasn't been mentioned anywhere by anyone because he's out of his depth.No_Ta_Doctor said:
And TP. I'm assuming his name wasn't mentioned in case it summoned the troll. Put in a decent TT, so he's clearly got some form.RichN95. said:mididoctors said:Jumbo and ineos have to take a pop at UAE here ..too good a opportunity
I can't see Ineos with Ganna, Van Baarle, Rowe and Thomas quietly following wheels
