Holy crapwhat a race, This has been better than 1989.

Congrats John, Tadej and the whole UAE Team Emirates! What a superb race you guys rode.

Absolutely superb!

Quite possibly. Today is very definitely the reason one watches sport. Just incredible!

Yep sport can be beautiful, heartbreaking and sometimes very cruel.

When last did a debutant win the TDF?

When last did a debutant win the TDF?

 

 

last year?

Or did Bernal ride it on another team in 2018?

[Knersboy]

AND.....

 

Campag on the top step of the Tour, and Colnago of course.

 

Can't remember when this last happened for both?

I was thinking the same. Although I reckon if Tadej swapped his tt bike for a steel Master with friction shifters he would have still won, and it would have made it only slightly more amazing.

He helped Thomas win it the year before.

Nope, I think Bernal rode in service of Gee/Froomey the year before he won.

 

Tadej also displaces Bernal as the youngest winner of the GC at Le Tour (If I am not mistaken?)

What a stage. Tadej rode an amazing time trial. Gutted for Primoz. Great to see him haul himself off the floor and head straight to Tadej to congratulate him

Tadej a serious contender for World's? Or will 3 GC weeks in the legs be too much?

Sjoe...it's in a week's time..will he had recovered from his babelas or will he still be drunk[emoji6]

Insane ride..

 

I do not think many people will dispute that Pogacar is the strongest rider in the race. Well done to him and the whole team .. including John and Jeroen of course.

 

Very stoked for Richie P too...
