mecheng89 Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 3 hours ago, Shebeen said: UCI agrees. KOM winner gets 120 UCI points 12 place on GC gets 125. Meintjes has two 8th places when he was younger, BUT a lot of the guys top5 from that froome era showed young promise and never kicked on further. Uran 2nd, Bardet multiple, even Nairo et al. If LM can inch into 5th or 6th in this peleton it would far outweight those previous performances. This guy is the most overrated GC contender wherever he goes.

Only Matt Keenan and Dan Lloyd responded. To all you English 1st language guys (Frosty dont know what you are, so no offence 😉) - Julle sukkel ook mar lekker om die afrikaanse name reg uit te spreek .... 🤪 So I think we can try to forgive the foreigners that have zero chance of getting it right.

TheoG Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 Apparently the green jersey is now completely done and dusted, Wout just have to make it to Paris. Vetplant and Jakkals. 2
TheoG Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 Yates dropped, Louis might make up another place today ... Vetplant and Jakkals. 2

TheoG Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 Gaudu also dropped, can Louis be 5th tonight ... Jakkals. and edgarblount 2
Plentipotential Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 Are the current crop of GC riders riding faster than the GC riders from the bad old Armstrong days?
Frosty Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 Thomas also dropped, but could come back by just pacing it.
