Stunning scenery during today’s race so far. A cycle through those towns is on the bucket list.
What more can you say about Cavendish? simply superb racing.
LT42 I’ve been off grid. Fuck my old boots. He’s equaled the stage win record. I hope he does it before, but breaking the record in Paris? Fuck me
Along_the_Wire Catch the highlights when you can, incredible. Hair raising final 15k, very dangerous streets, heart in mouth stuff.
Just watched them, what a ride from Cav and the quick step team, absolutely awesome.
Alaphilipe has been doing some stuff for the team but their work all week at the front of the group has been really impressive when needed. So impressive to watch.
LT42 This is why the team dynamic is so important. Alaphillipe was the leader and the Tour was set up for him to win (the organisers are desperate for a French winner - been over 30 years?). Once he fell, they’ve gone all-in on green and the record. It’s genuinely incredible - he had form, and a lot of great sprinters are out, but fucking hell.
Can we have the exciting tour back please?
Great ride by Mollema yesterday and top bloke all round.
Hursty it’s great today, Hursty!
Mised today and just caught the end of yesterday, I’ll be at my mithering best tomorrow so I can secure an afternoon on the couch, its too hot to be fucking about outside anyhow
LT42 rest day tomorrow - keep your powder dry for the rest of the week. The Tourmalet on Thursday will be epic (obviously been up it - hard as absolute fuck - 2 degrees at the top and absolutely pissing down - the descent was horrific)
Along_the_Wire ah of course - jesus those fuckers need it, Id be sleeping in an ice bath
This race is properly hotting up with Ineos sending two of their riders back from the break
25kmh at 9%!
Yep, its livened up nicely now
Love Sepp Kuss - great race even if the GC were neutralised.
Big day on the roads today, a brutal stage
Great tussle for the stage today but there was always going to be one winner and that was Pogacar.
Cheeky tactics by Carapaz but it nearly worked for him, I genuinely thought he was blowing up, all a facade in the reality!
Hursty What Carapaz did was all a little embarrassing - glad he got fucked at the top
