Ouffff"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

My thought at the start was that they don't look very strong for the mountains.rick_chasey said:Evenepoel without teammates. So much for Jumbo being weak.

Can't believe Leknessund got duped by the 'you need to take your turn' antics when in a perfect position with no-one challenging behind. Gets the jersey though.pblakeney said:AG2R (I'd spell his name wrong) playing tactics for the win.
Looked like he was stuck in his biggest gear from the time he attacked.0 -

Ineos bring in a disappointment of a GC bunch 🤔😁"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

Cracking stage.
I know it’s been said 1000x before and I know it’s their job… but to average 41km/h over that terrain is just ridiculous. Chapeau to all of them.0 -
So arguably the two strongest riders, Remco and Roglic, look to have fairly weak teams which could make it interesting with some of the other teams have two outside bets. Hopefully they'll play their cards well to make a race of it.0

I guess it comes down to whether you take a chance of a 50/50 sprint for a stage win or a guaranteed day in the leader's jersey.0

I'm pretty convinced he sold the win - why else was the AG2R guy riding instead of sitting in?Pross said:I guess it comes down to whether you take a chance of a 50/50 sprint for a stage win or a guaranteed day in the leader's jersey.

I doubt he sold it, but probably said you have the stage, I'll take the jersey once they crested the climb together. It's one of those unwritten rules, no?No_Ta_Doctor said:

Yes, that's what I meant. Probably would have phrased it better if I wasn't watching in the pub... 😉andyp said:

Can't see why AG2R bloke would have taken any turn on the front otherwise, the stage was secured from 3-5km outWarning No formatter is installed for the format0 -
I saw it as the Pink was all but secured as long as they didn't play silly beggars and AG2R guy took short turns just to play the game. He won the tactical battle for the stage.No_Ta_Doctor said:

Well Tadej has shown that as long as a strong rider can catch the train it doesn't matter who is driving the engine.Pross said:So arguably the two strongest riders, Remco and Roglic, look to have fairly weak teams which could make it interesting with some of the other teams have two outside bets.
