Cycle Drivel

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

Hursty

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.

Along_the_Wire

He tried - not sure Vinegaard is gonna crack - got my days wrong - tomorrow is a cracker, but it’s all about Thursday - two HC and one 1st category climbs. Fucking ouch.

Hursty

Still really enjoying this tour, a propet scrap going on, unlike the snoozefest froome years.

It really is shaping up to be another golden age of cycling with loads of competition at the top.

It needs to be closer really

Yeah its been a great watch this year. Would’ve been nice to see Cavendish give Van Aert a square go as the Belgian has pissed all over the competition to be fair.
Think you’re right about Jonas, Grant. He’s looking steely eyed and his team, although light, is doing some job. Pogacar looks isolated and I can’t see him clawing back that time unless he downs some Grade A Pink Champagne and does an average of 90kmh over the next 2 days, or Jonas falls off a bridge.

At the moment its hard to see Pog getting too much time back on the climbs, but you never know. I do see him taking time back in the TT, but not 2 and half mins.

Along_the_Wire

Pogacar does look very comfortable though. If Jumbo slam it at the front, they could overcook Vinegeraad - Hautecam tomorrow could destroy the GC

LT42

I just realised today, Pogacar’s side to side head movement on the bike when he’s out of the saddle really irritates me. He looks like a dickhead. Sorry, that is all.

Along_the_Wire

LT42 worse is that riders copy him and even the average chopper on British roads

LT42

Ok, today is the day Pogacar comes to the fore, has to be. I’m not a gambling man but if I was I’d say Jonas is going to skin him. He has the mental edge right now.

Along_the_Wire

LT42 Pogacar to win today, but no gap - all vinegeraad has to do is mark just him and he definitely has that in his locker. Wouldn’t mind be wrong, but Pogacar needs to get the gap down to under a minute and have the TT of his life (which he is actually known for). I want to see a close battle - after today, there is only the TT

I’m watching delayed this evening

WTF was that press motorbike thinking?

Absolutely ridiculous, Bauer was FEWMIN, rightly so.

LT42

Looked like both the press and Bauer weren’t expecting the UAE car to brake so quickly for the crash in front, bad timing
