    I can't imagine for one second that Jumbo will get their pacing wrong.
    Already half a minute up ffs.

    Hard to believe he can keep this up given how close they have been so far.
    I was wrong.

    An absolute mauling.

    I know Pog’s prep was injury affected but I wonder if that Spring season left him a little over-raced ahead of this kind of TDF.
    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.

    Pogacar catching Rodriguez and Vingegaard catching them both.............in 22kms.

    What a TT.

    Absolutely smashed everyone.

    No doubt who's the best rider this Tour. Pulverised the rest. 4s per km

    Will he have enough left come the final climb? I know nothing but seems he's so far up it could be asking for trouble.

    I can confirm, I do know nothing!

    Pog goes fastest by over a minute but Jonas beats him by 1' 38". Absolutely crazy.

    I'll actually take Hatch calling that one of the TT performances of the ages, not hyperbole for once.

    Not a good advert for the Colnago TT bike.

    I know Boonen got a lot of heat for it.....

    Hatch quickly in with his "for the ages" tag.

    He was second on the stage, he didn't have a bad ride.

    The only hope of remaining excitement is if he has over done it like Yates did in the Giro in 2018.
