    He is ridiculous.
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    Just looks so effortless, doesn’t get out of the saddle just puts more pressure on the pedals and makes world class riders look average.

    Pidcock dropped

    Let’s be honest about this. PoG has dropped humanity as a whole.

    It’s a shame there’s no long, technical descents for Pidcock to gain time back on.

    Lending ammunition to whoever it was saying distance is Pidcock’s issue.

    Well he has reduced the need for a extra 40k to an extra 20k ... Progress

    Thought he’d bonked at first but seems to be putting the power down again now. Healy motoring though.

    He might totally crack and get caught from behind

    In his defence he tried to stay with Pogacar which is probably what's done for him. He could've measured his effort and gone for the podium like he rode for a Vaughters team.
