GT is only 4 seconds off Pogacar, and looking pretty good. It's entirely feasible he finds a way to nick those, especially if Pogacar wears himself into the ground attacking Vingegaard. He might even find a few seconds in the very flat TT, if he remembers to take off his giletPross said:Pidcock in 8th on GC now. Ineos have 3 in the top 8 but virtually no chance of improving on third realistically whilst also being too close to be allowed to get into another break. They also have no mountain domestiques, it's a bit of an odd one.

Froome now has the outright lead in "most Tour mountain stage podium places in the 21st century" with 9. Ullrich, Nibali and Valverde have 8 each.

Descending wins races ."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

What a great stage win for Otley Tom
That descent off the Galibier was incredible
Pleased for Froome, I was never a huge fan but you have to give credit where its due
I'm pretty convinced Ineos are going for the Team competition so Sir Jim can have a nice shiny picture up at HQ1 -
The on bike footage conveys some of the madness...

Froome still has an ugly style on the bike but no one on this forum would have got round that stage any quicker.1

Well done Tom P. I was watching live @ 80-65km to go, had to go do other stuff, and just caught up. Another great stage. That descending by TP was something else. 106kph! And 👍 to Chris Froome.2

To be fair to MF, he's hardly the only forum poster that has significantly underrated a rider currently doing pretty well at the Tour... A few recent opinions on Vingegaard have aged like milkRichN95. said:webboo said:Calling MattFalle. Calling MattFalle.

It's one thing to debate whether someone is better than Pog - it's another to say he should climb off after stage 8 as was a waste of space in the team line up.2

Don't worry, I'm just stirring. Don't think I've seen MF since around stage 7 anyway, for some reason...shirley_basso said:It's one thing to debate whether someone is better than Pog - it's another to say he should climb off after stage 8 as was a waste of space in the team line up.

The best thing is MF claimed Tom P was boring. I’d like to watch MF try and sit on TP wheel going downhill and see how boring that is.1

Roglic interview yesterday was great, he seems like a nice chap too.0 -
G should be in yellow, with JV and UAE thrown out! JV & UAE all failed to sign on on Thursday.

Most of the peloton seem ok ...odd a55hat. Some racists . That lot can go do one.
but like 70 percent plus of people they are ok."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 -

If you mean we didn't weep tears listening to the Danish national anthem while clutching a model of the little mermaid and wearing Sarah Lund jumper at the mere mention of him temporarily dropping Pogacar on Mont Ventoux, then guilty as chargedTwitter: @RichN956 -

I can't remember who it was on commentary who was keen to point out that Ciccone is a bit of be11end (Blythe probably, maybe Kennaugh)

The 36 year old is out-meming the 24 year olds...
We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

To be fair, 24 year olds don't really do Twitter. They're busy on Insta or TikTok, which never forget was invented by the Chinese to discover whether our children are just as annoying as theirs are.ddraver said:The 36 year old is out-meming the 24 year olds...

Anyone know who was the fastest up the Alpe? I see on Strava that Bardet is the new KOM with a faster time than Pantanihttp://www.snookcycling.wordpress.com - Reports on Cingles du Mont Ventoux, Alpe D'Huez, Galibier, Izoard, Tourmalet, Paris-Roubaix Sportive & Tour of Flanders Sportive, Amstel Gold Xperience, Vosges, C2C, WOTR routes....0

Sepp Kuss is showing as fastest now, 39:21
Pog/Vinegar/Thomas were 3 seconds faster than Kuss at the line so 39:18 assuming they hit the bottom at the same time.
Pantani was 36:50 in 19950 -
How fast were the GC Vs froome and TP?0
