I'm still new to all the strategy, but ending thr tour hoping not to crash and following the other guy just isnt my thing. Bascally am just waiting for a flat or crash...loosing three weeks over 2s is painful. 

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.

Just a reiteration of the UCI points system, showing some sort of picture of the value of GC position vs Stage winners vs Other Jerseys.

If Louis can end up in 6th in GC, it is worth more than 3 stage wins, which is interesting.

Green Jersey getting the same as a single stage win, seems a bit odd. Going for Green over 3 weeks seems like way more effort?

GC top 10:

Green/Polka dot final position:

I guess it all adds up.

WvA will probably get more points than GT overall.

TP probably more than JV - if they finish in the order they are in now.

So UCI result for TdF:

1) TP 

2) JV

3) WvA

Or am I understanding this wrong ?

Some rough maths(please correct me if I'm wrong somewhere, anyone):

TP:

Stage results(Assuming no more Top 5 placings): 25+120+120+25+5+5+120=420

Wearing Yellow(per stage):5*25=125

2nd on GC(Final):800

TOTAL:1345

 

 

Jonas:

Stage results(Assuming no more Top 5 placings): 50+120+50=220

Yellow(per stage, assuming he holds it till Paris):11*25=275

Yellow(Final):1000

TOTAL:1495

 

 

GT

Stage results(Assuming no more Top 5 placings): 5+15+15=35

3rd on GC(Final):675

TOTAL:710 (So he beats WvA on UCI points)

 

 

WVA:

Stage results(Assuming no more Top 5 placings): 50+50+50+120+120+50 = 440

Wearing Yellow(per stage):4*25 = 100

Green(Final):120

TOTAL:660

No math, just guess and assumption on my part.😂

1) I missed the part where the yellow jersey gets 25 point every day.

2) TP will probably get more points than JV going forward.

3) WvA will most definitely get more points.

4) GT will almost certainly not get more "results" from here.

Two of my top climbs in the Pyrenees on today`s stage.

Col de Spandelles is one of my favorite col`s, it was 4 degrees while climbing.

Col de Aubisque is also a favorite and time wise one of my better climbs, on a 25 rear sprocket. It must have been the adrenaline after acquiring some real estate on Col de Marie Blanc.

One final roll of the dice then today, one would think...

I guess Covid was always going to have the last laugh. Just reminding us that it is still present, albeit more like the common flu.

Guessing that 3/4 of the drop outs are Covid related.
