Jewbacca Posted July 21, 2022 Share Louise in 6th an could very well jump ahead of Nairo on the ITT. Depending on his losses to Vlasov he 'could' very well finish in 5th.... TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoG Posted July 21, 2022 Share He is now 6th overall. If he take time on Quintana in the TT, he can take 5th !!!! mikkelz and Vetplant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephan Posted July 21, 2022 Share Yerrrrr the next couple of years with Pogi and Jonas chasing each other up mountains is going to be magnificent. What a stage. What a tour. (and well done Louis! Brilliant.) Edited July 21, 2022 by Stephan . justinafrika, BikeisLife, Vetplant and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OVERDRIVE Posted July 21, 2022 Share 7 hours ago, Jewbacca said: This is one reason I'm a classics/Monuments fan over grand tours. These two have definitely brought a different dynamic to the GC battle though. In times past it has often failed to live up to the hype. The last couple of editions have been pretty exciting as Pog brings it. He likes to win bike races not just accumulate seconds. For this reason I'm expecting some fireworks today. In my very limited capacity, I think he needs to claw back to within a minute to give himself a chance in the ITT an JV will do everything they can to prevent this. Vengagaard doesn't need to win anything, he just needs to limit his losses. …as today showed. Think I’ll do the classics next, this was a bit of a… Jewbacca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is what the GC is going to be like every year, I'm in! Vinny smashed. I'm stoke for Jumbo. They have ha some poor luck and have really invested in the sport and their riders in the last while. Hopefully Vinny can keep it together to take the honours in Paris OVERDRIVE, BrentCGP and Vetplant 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mecheng89 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Masterclass from JV, JV and Wow't van Aert. Vingegaard just flexed and put big time into Pogi. What an exciting tour this has turned out. Pogi's final redemption will be the TT. I wonder if he thinks so too. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MongooseMan Posted July 21, 2022 Share Pure class, You choose not to win just because your opponent crashed, opt instead to wait for him, and then drop him on the last HC climb. Proper. Maniax, Rowl, mazambaan and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted July 21, 2022 Share Jonas is also the Polka Dot jersey leader, so it's a clean sweep for the younger generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 21, 2022 Share Wout still has the most bonus seconds After losing Morkov to a time cut, QuickStep look to be nursing their sprinter home on each stage. Jakobson had to do it alone yesterday, but had help, by the looks of it today. Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrentCGP Posted July 21, 2022 Share The last 3 TDFs have absolutely convinced me to get there, rent a van, load the bikes and spend 2 weeks in France, cycling mountain passes, eating croissants and smashing bottles of Jean Foillard Cote du Py all night. 2023 it is on the cards for sure. I have never even owned a road bike but I love watching the Tours and Classics. Pro Roadies are a gift to this earth. truly. warrencharlesza, Jewbacca, Fred van Vlaanderen and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 21, 2022 Share This will probably be the fastest Tour to date (for the winner's time). It's already faster than any previous Tour, with all major mountains behind them. Least number of finishers in 16 years (as things stand today, but not % of starters). It's the shortest Tour in 20 years.
