    Pog and co now effectively the second breakaway group

    Wouldn’t fancy descending that section, those hairpins are properly tight

    How far from the top are you ? What colours you wearing?

    They should dock Pog 5 minutes for that wild swerve across the road.

    Pog going to make Cpaz work for polka dot?

    Rodriguez already well and truly dropped, Ineos are having a shocker in this Tour.

    Soler riding on the front for no apparent reason, unless it's to get Yates into a break or keep Van Aert behind

    Might have had a bit more of the Covid than they let on

    Jorgenson taking points in front of Carapaz, don't think he liked the UAE-EF deal-making

    And everyone whining that Pog was the dick for beating him to victory

    Carapaz making him go very wide on the bend in return. Not sure what he gains from doing that other than pissing off a lot of people that could make his life tough.

    A fit of pique.

    ITV4 suggest they may have had a disagreement during yesterday’s stage.

    Heading for a solid 1 out of 10 in the ‘rate the tour teams’ thread.

    Jerseys shouldn't be gifted, glad Jorge challenged Cpaz, Pog should have challenged too imo.

    Hardly gifting it, Carapaz has earned it the hard way.

    What we expecting? Pog to go solo after the break halfway up the Turini to get the points and solo rest of the way to victory. Jonas be foolish to try and follow the attack at risk of blowing up and losing 2nd to Remco

    It's the feuds you develop on winter training rides that last the longest

    I think Carapaz was promised the points in turn for cooling his guns earlier, when Jorgenson was trying to get away - in which case absolutely fair - they're not UAE's to dispense

    If Pog wants the stage I expect UAE to simply keep the break in touching distance and Pog to go on the final climb. He plainly has no interest in the KoM points.

    Look out for @carbonclem on the next climb

    Are we forgetting who was in the break with him, gifting him points on all the climbs yesterday?

    lol.

    I reckon it's Jorgensen annoyed he isn't allowed in the break

    Luke Rowe had a story about Jorgenson turning up at a cafe, having a coffee, and picking up the bill for everyone. Said he was just a really nice guy.

    So I reckon Carapaz has done him dirty somehow

    Googles Gloucester City kit.

    That could be anything from green, to white, to red and orange or yellow, with stripes or without.... 😅

    Gifting or keeping his powder dry with an eye on the stage? Just makes it seem even more stupid to fight to take a point off him today.
