    Annoyingly this is the first stage Pidders hasn't uploaded to Strava!

    I can't see the full climb segment on Froome's Strava, and have checked the hidden segments too.
    Pog's Strava says he did it in 51:12, but think he failed to stop his GPS as that's a lot longer than the likes of Kuss (39:25) and Bardet (39:37), and even Bob Jungels was 42:01!

    The old man's told him he can make a fortune selling it as an NFT.

    How fast are we expecting the lead group to climb ADH? 35-40mins?

    42-45 mins.
    This was right then?

    Going on https://www.strava.com/segments/4629741?hl=en-GB , Bardet set a new KOM of 36mins21secs, with Pog exactly 10mins slower.

    Crazy to see Andrew Feather 10th at 39mins51secs from '18, Ed Laverack 14th at 40mins22secs from last month and Dan Evans 19th at 40mins48secs from '15!

    Pidders has just uploaded his ride. He was 42:03 up the Alpe, 2:42 slower than Kuss

    The Fails would have beaten Pidders up there without doubt.

    What was his descent time, other than bloody fast!

    Meh, I've hit that down Crimea Pass... :p

    Car of yoofs pulled alongside me at the bottom and shouted, "Mate you were going 60 down there!!!"

    Coolest I'd felt for a long time.

    As DDR says, 100 km/h isn't 'that' quick, plenty of pros (and mere mortals) hit speeds in excess of that.
    What was impressive was how brilliantly he cornered, thus keeping his average really high, even if his top end speed wasn't that high.

    Pidders said in an interview with Matt Rendell yesterday that it was the fastest he'd ever been

    Be good to see Pidcock do MSR, that could make for a scary descent!

    Great to see Froome. Was never a huge fan but his determination and effort to recover deserved a great day like that one. Glad that he got respect from the fans as well.

    I looked on PCS as I couldn't remember if he'd done it or not and somehow missed it the first time. Certainly feels like a race he could win (if he wasn't overrated).
