I caught the end of yesterday's stage and thought he was sprinting for the win and the bonifications.blazing_saddles said:

Someone was saying on comms that he hadn't yet been properly tested at higher altitudes, could be as simple as that.rick_chasey said:Christ alive.
Hunger knock, Corona or lack of legs?!
Not just today, but how many stages has he put in an all out sprint at the end for little no profit?Correlation is not causation.0 -
Jonas overwhelmed... Can jumbo f**k this up still?"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

They had the team and did the right moves mostly . Attacking on the flat like that when he was isolated was really good ..."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.

No, because of Kamna dropping out of second. He stays 4th.Pross said:The gap that Gaudu and Yates created shows just how much Pog was suffering. Did Thomas lose a place of GC despite gaining over a minute on Pog?

Yeah, it's been a bit like that Giro where Yates seemed to do that in the early stages before blowing up. Still think it may be Covid though.blazing_saddles said:

Have to say I'm not a fan of the teammates interrupting interviews that seems to have started being a 'thing' this year.0 -
Ah yes, I forgot about Kamna's day out.kingstongraham said:

I didn't see that attack on the telegraph...top of galibier was my guess .. instead they attacked everywhere lol"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.

Oh behave, I mean nothing compares to Froome excitementbianchi_dave said:1st chance to watch the whole stage live, I got lucky!
I reckon that's the best live stage I've seen since Froomes Giro stage 18, probably even better as a whole spectacle, so much going on'Do not compare your bike to others, for always there will be greater and lesser bikes'0 -

Adam Blythe dismisses it............so it's probably correct."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.1 -

They did also raise the altitude - he lost time to on Col de la Loze apparently? I don't really remember that. But the main other time he's been tested at proper altitude.mididoctors said:

Much of Pog's dominance was psychological - most here bought it as well. Jonas didn't. But holding that psychological edge requires a lot of effort
Ventoux last year told him he was a genuine player. Today he just showed everyone else.Warning No formatter is installed for the format1 -
So I guess it might take him an extra year to get his 10 wins.0

I don't see either of the Ineos riders going on the offensive, I see them both trying to avoid losses and hope the others have a day like Pog did today.0

Yeah, I thinks that's where they are, but it's what they've got. Will be hard to isolate Vingegaard with the team he's got around himPross said:I don't see either of the Ineos riders going on the offensive, I see them both trying to avoid losses and hope the others have a day like Pog did today.

Presumably G won't as he's unlikely to be able to beat Vinegaard and JV even if Pogacar does crack again, especially when you'd imagine he'd be as well waiting for the TT to consolidate 2nd/3rd place?0

Was WVA move pointless or not?0
-
Yes, will likely be forgotten about due to the result. But it prevented Pog having to work in the valley and gave him Majka to set pace on the climb which to me actually meant that we didn't see Pog look weak until lateshirley_basso said:Was WVA move pointless or not?

Thanks for the reply. So a real waste of energy unless he was going forward to support Vingegaard.
Tomorrow looks brutal and Pog has told TV he plans to attack!0 -

Pog will sit in and attack on the ALPe I guess ."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

I don't think Vingegaard taking time today was a shock - 3 minutes yes definitely - but most discussions on here the majority were saying the race wasn't over. When I heard UAE had lost 2 with covid yesterday (turned out to be one) I actually said to my wife (convenient I know) I'd have Vingegaard as slight favourite just because Pog hadn't broken him and late attacks often mean a rider knows they can't attack earlier - and without a team that control you are in trouble.[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0

Anyway for lack of any cows or horses, have some local sculpture meets sprinkler system.
