Hursty Fantastic finale today, thought Pogacar was beaten to the line but he found some superhuman strength to take the win, incredible. Another great ride by Pidcock
Along_the_Wire Hursty I have been enjoying it, but it stinks a bit. No mention of it in the media either
Hursty Along_the_Wire well this is my point, usually there is some smoke when someone is suspect but as far as I’m aware, there isn’t any?
LT42 That last climb was incredible viewing. I felt sorry for the lad who ran out of steam on the last bend. Covid + on the UAE team overnight, I reckon its the only thing that could stop him at this point.
LT42 Van Aert out in the break again. He’s really enjoying this Tour so far. The scenery is spectacular today, I’d love to be out on those roads.

LT42 Along_the_Wire jeez, fair play. Some part of the world to be out on the bike I’d say. That was amazing from Jungels, I thought for sure he’d be caught.
LT42 Along_the_Wire Yeah I’ve jotted his name down in my notebook. He looked like he had the nerve and the legs when he started off on the chase. Pogacar almost caught him in the end. In fairness, it would be soul destroying putting that effort in and coming 4th, lol
Hursty Along_the_Wire Yep, they always talk about how good he could be, never seen it in the tour over the 3 weeks. The odd hustle here and there but you know he’s just not got it in him. Boulting is starting to do my head in.
Hursty Just realised the last stage is a ITT, so if Pogacar stays out of trouble the title is already his. Ah well, lets see what happens in the mountains!
Along_the_Wire Hursty Pogacar will win by three minutes plus. If he wanted to, he could take ten in the mountains, but that would cause him more problems
Hursty Along_the_Wire let’s suppose he is doping, what’s he on? Surely things EPO are easily identified now or is it still easy to fly under the radar with micro dosing?
LT42 Losing Bennett is a blow for UAE. Him and Majka did some job together the other day. Like two AI robots leading the Peloton out for 150km.
Along_the_Wire LT42 He doesn’t need a strong team, he can follow any wheel he likes, it’s his he won his first two
LT42 Along_the_Wire yeah, Sean Kelly alluded as much. Lovely looking stage today albeit short. Someone needs to take the bull by the horns now.
