Tour de France 2019

[HdB]

When last did a rider win the yellow and white jerseys?

Not sure if it counts, as I don't think there was a white jersey back then, but when Jan Ullrich won in 1997 was 23 I think?

Ullrich, Contador and Andy Schleck all won white together with GC .

 

Moser was the first white jersey winner way back when

Andy Schleck was the last one.

I think today is goint to look like a highlights package from start to finish to be honest. Ineos waited very long yesterday to attack, and Pinot and the rest did nothing. If one goes early today it will be attack after attack.

 

What time does it start again?

Was privileged to roll up the Col du Galibier 

Man, it was close to the clouds.

Just cannot imagine racing up there; I don't even remember what I did almost three weeks ago.

At the beginning of the Tour everyone including JA and DQS all knew that JA wasn't a real GC contender/threat. After this showing I'll be quite surprised if JA and DQS don't change his training and give him at least one proper go at a GT GC pursuit, he has earned the right!

Perhaps they already did but kept it under the radar, that would be such a DQ thing to do[emoji6]

Wouldn't they have sent a stronger GC orinatated team then?

To me at least it looks like the team was centered around Viviani with the hopes of a breakaway stage win here or there. While giving Mas some GT experience. But then again I'm as far from knowledgeable on the working of a cycling team as one can get.

For sure.. I think it may have been a little lets see how it goes without pressure..probably had an eye on polka dots again.. He has been climbing really well the last 2 years done well in 1 week races etc.

 

The cat is out the bag though.. never again will he be given time like this.

That's how steep it was up there, Bru

[IceCreamMan]

Gonna sneak out a tad early and work from home for at least the last 90 minutes of the stage. Best I can do. Have meetings

Did you take that pix on the descent? 

[Eugene Oppelt]

Don't blink

All to race for as podium on Sunday creeps closer
