Calma the sprint stages are always boring except last few km or when crashes happen.

Tru dat, mountain stages are the real deal.

I missed the action today but happy for Cavendish. Is it a TT tomorrow?

On Friday we get the longest TdF stage since 21 years -> 249km

and it's not even pure flat, 18% climb in the end

How surprising...

Roglic DEAD

I like Carapaz. It's a shame that he can't keep up with Pog for a nice duel.

what happened?

 

[JCK]

what happened?

There is really no competition to Pogacar. The easiest win since Armstrong was injecting watt juice in his veins.

 

[Mark]

wow he's 22.

so many wins until they catch him.

what happened?

mountain stage with two climbs at the end

40km before finish, imagine there is a breakaway group and peloton with GC contenders is 5 min behind

now one guy (Pogacar) from GC contender group rockets all the way up to 30sec behind the leader

all domestiques are dead, no other contender can follow

he wins 4+ min on every other GC contender in a single stage

this was such a bizzarre sight to watch this guy gain 4 minutes in like 20km, took me back to Lance

we'll find out in a few years I guess.

I remember when Lance fell because of some ''fan'' and after that made a comeback like an animal. Felt weird. Years later I knew why.
