FondTF2 Posted July 19, 2023 Share JV was on a totally different level yesterday. Maybe Pog will go for an all or nothing approach. If it works, it works, if not at least he would of tried. mikkelz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it works, it works, if not at least he would of tried. Giro 2018, stage 19....? Pog is the one guy that can pull it off! PS. 90% sure Jonas won't ship 2mins in the remaining stages... but there is still the 10% chance it can happen, IMHO.

TheoG Posted July 19, 2023 Share It would be foolish to say its over, with Pog you never know .... But, Jona's job is now simple (not easy but simple), sit on Pog like glue and WHEN/IF you spot a weakness hit him hard ... imho ..... ☺️ Edit: After watching the TT, I'm pretty sure Pog wont drop Jonas on the up or down and also his sprint has far less bite to it.

'Dale Posted July 19, 2023 Share 5, 400 metres of vert today. Not too much valley floor. That'll warm me up, julle. The Tour ain't over. There's a lot of tarmac between now and Parys. Today will be dramatic. There are several races within races - the contest for the Golden Fleece, the podium, the polka dot jersey, the sprinters have to battle for the time cut, and there will be a Pinot that will hope to make a cool exit from the peloton with a lekka stage victory. Tadej and UAE will not lie down. It's a top team. Jonas will want to assert his dominance and control his time advantage. I am very interested in the tactical decisions of the two dominant teams. Today course favours the Dane. Stage 20's profile favours the Slovenian. However, week 3 fatigue, altitude and team strength will predict performance, barring illness and/or injury. Beautiful racing.

TheoG Posted July 19, 2023 Share Suddenly Mr ChrisHorner changed his mind, Jonas is now his No1 in the world .... 🤣 He reckon Primoz should change teams asap. I tend to agree, but would not be nice seeing him riding for another team. BUT, wouldn't it be awesome to see a proper 3 way race next year .... ?

edgarblount Posted July 19, 2023 Share Tadej made a huge mistake changing to the road bike for the last climb.... ...he should have changed to his E-BIKE!! TheoG, El Duderino, mecheng89 and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FondTF2 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Watching some of the GCN podcasts, amazed at the cost of some of the equipment. Most expensive bike at the TDF is the Trek. +/- $18500 (R333 000) The TT skinsuits can cost between 5000 and 7000 euros (R100 000 - R140 000) Crazy numbers.

Manipulation of the Y-Axis grinds my gears. This scale was selected for dramatic effect. Plot it from Zero and I'm sure it doesn't look as dramatic.
