This tour just keeps on giving. Seems momentum is poised to swing to Jonas. We're in for some race now that's for sure.
Just noticed Pog eating on the podium, maybe under fuelled right enough

It might have made him think about the tyre or at least being more cautious.

Wonder how much dropping Jorgenson forced Pog into going earlier than planned? Didn't want to risk him getting back on the descent before the Pertus so attacked whilst Vingegaard was isolated. Could have been different without Roglic working for him as well

Roglic being given the same time as Evenepoel on procyclingstats. Surely the 3 km rule wasn’t in play today?

He was eating on the podium yesterday as well though, but in fairness he'd probably only just woken up.
If he did bonk though then wtf is all the stage preparation for? How do you make feeding mistakes on a stage you've picked out to burn your team controlling for an attack?

Should have thrown himself on the road in the last 3km and claimed the Roglic exemption...
(yes, yes, I know)

That's ridiculous.

Imagine riding most of that stage alone and getting eliminated. The team should really have told him to abandon when it was clear he wasn't going to make it.

Nah, I like it. There's an element of pride and stubbornness in that sort of thing, and it was only a few minutes after the cut. If it had been hours then yeah, perhaps.

No broken bones for Van Aert. Hope he's OK to start tomorrow

That's one hell of a scar on his collarbone.

Is that really correct? If so, what kind of lunacy allows that?

The fact that the finish was on an uncategorised climb allows that. If it had been designated 4th cat status, Roglic would have lost time.

So Pog could have simply sat down instead of sprinting for second? Nuts.
(I guess there has to some sense of peril and a hint of actually falling over).
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Thanks for the rationale..... absolute lunacy though.

The regulation states that "This article shall not apply where the finish is at the top of a hill-climb.".
It was in the list of stages it would apply to before the race.

Just finished catching up.
I'm guessing Remco wasn't too chuffed with JV working with Pog? 🤣
0 -
I had a similar thought in the Lanterne Rouge spoiler thread:
It's what Remco calls "balls", although oddly he seems less keen to talk about testicular fortitude this evening now that Vingegaard has decided to ride to put somebody out of the race. Isn't this what you wanted, Remmers?

Just catched up, good watch of the last 40km or so,

Nice stage, nice emotional interview from Ving shows what it means.

I think possibly. As Robbie McEwen said it was a long way from the top of Puy Mary. Then again if it had worked - if he'd even got over that bonus climb with 10 seconds ?
