Jumbo Looking super strong! TommyD revving that big turbo diesel of his to good effect and how good was Kuss in giving Roglic a boost in the final few hundred metres. Roglic only guy to be able to follow Pogacar when he went for it. It is going to be very tight between these two friends. Porte looked good as well. Next week is going to be extremely interesting with yellow and green jersey competition being hotly contested. 

 

Quintana and Bernal the biggest losers today. Their TdF challenge is essentially over. 

 

What a fantastic stage, bring on the final week!!!!!!!!

Great stage! Well done Pogacar!

 

Anyone know how far the sprinters are back?

They were 7.2Km from the finish when the live tracker stopped working.

About 29 minutes down, with an expected time cut of 44 minutes.

The Top Ten on GC after today's stage, courtesy of CN: 

 

1 Primoz Roglic (Slo) Team Jumbo-Visma 65:37:07
2 Tadej Pogacar (Slo) UAE Team Emirates 00:00:40
3 Rigoberto Uran (Col) EF Pro Cycling 00:01:34
4 Miguel Angel Lopez Moreno (Col) Astana Pro Team 00:01:45
5 Adam Yates (GBr) Mitchelton-Scott 00:02:03
6 Richie Porte (Aus) Trek-Segafredo 00:02:13
7 Mikel Landa Meana (Spa) Bahrain McLaren 00:02:16
8 Enric Mas Nicolau (Spa) Movistar Team 00:03:15
9 Nairo Quintana (Col) Team Arkea-Samsic 00:05:08
10 Tom Dumoulin (Ned) Team Jumbo-Visma 00:05:12

 

That stage 19 ITT is starting to look like that will be the title decider between Pogacar and Roglic. Should that happen Pogacar might be feeling slightly more confident given that he has recently beaten Roglic in an ITT for the Slovenian Champions jersey. However lots of climbing and three more hard stages before we even get there. Once again that final week is looking to be pretty interesting!!!

Do these chaps who have already finished, go back down the hill for just a km or two and spin their legs coming back up, or is the hotel at the bottom or why do we sometimes see them heading back down past people still coming into the finish?

No space at the top for team busses so when they do that they ride down to catch their ride to the hotel.

Back to the team bus and home

Most of them will ride down, but the guys that have to wait for the podium, or do interviews, might get a lift with the team car.
