No messing straight away, if this pace from Jumbo carries on I can’t see Pogacar doing anything, they are going to annihilate the peloton

Pidcock absolutely destroying the descent

    Hursty passing out the guy on the outside with a sheer drop a metre from the edge 😨

      Couldn’t get usual tubeless tyres. Have had to settle for less than ideal ones.

      Everything seems out of stock.

      Will be looking at a new chainring soon and suspect it’ll be a massive wait.

      Have seen far too little of the tour this year.

        benson depends what you use, plenty of alternative chainring makers out there, they take some wearing down however or are you changing size?

          It’s a nightmare Bens. Have to wait a year for a 10-32 cassette?!!!

          Chainrings seem to be more widely available though - try Rotor

            @benson read up on crank length - for the stuff you and I do, 170mm is fantastic - makes quite a difference if you have a consistent cadence 85+

            It’s not about the size of the rider at all, it’s the torque required for different styles - 175 for CX as you need to sprint out of corners and stops for example and gives you great torque

              Some ride from Pidcock, Froome and Thomas there - fuck me.

              Yeah Pidcock was immense, looked like he had another 20k in him. He said the other day Pogacar was taking the piss, well he did today. That descent was phenomenal.

              Amazing ride, knew he had it in him but didn’t expect to see such a sensational display of his talent, not sure which was better, his descending skills or the ride up d’huez!

              benson well-in Bens. I just went middle of the road until I had a proper bike fit for the TT bike. Amazing the difference it makes, especially when I swap out bikes

                Cheeky stage today…another breakaway win?

                Unlucky for Fred yesterday but he was never out sprinting Mads

                The gap Jonas has is an interesting one, it has to force Pogacar to be extremely aggressive at some point.

                Speak of the devil

                Well not a good day for Jumbo, losing 2 out of their 3 climbing domestiques and Jonas hitting the deck to top it off.

                Pogacar will be kicking his lips, this is the chink he needs to come back on Tuesday and exploit.

                Got a feeling old G will be well placed if it all goes tits in the Pyrenees

                Two fantastic stages coming up today and tomorrow - whoever’s leading after that by a minute has it sewn up

                That guy who crashed last night sat in the middle of the road smoking a meth pen looked fucked.

                Nice to see Pogacar finally wake up, he’s been a right boring sod for days now. He needs a big day.
