Shebeen Posted July 6, 2023 Share Trying to explain the JV tactics to someone. Turns out all they did was prove how much of a beast WvA is. JohanDiv, Prince Albert Cycles, Rowl and 7 others 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibali came close in 2014, having yellow from stage 2 to the finish, relinquishing it for only one day to Tony Gallopin (stage 9). Stage 10 was up La Planche des Belles Files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted July 6, 2023 Share The margin between the Dane and the Slovenian is so minimal, wow. Solid defence by the Australian. The Belgian super domestique continues to defy gravity. Superb tactical execution by Jumbo-Visma. They did absolutely nothing wrong. The UAE superstar was able to respond and counterattack, clearly struggling with wrist pain caused by the high vibrations caused by the high speed descents. Jonas also defended well considering that he was he was deep into the red during his escape during stage 5. Honourable mentions: Pidcock level with Bardet on G, 9th and 8th respectively; EF's James Shaw sitting at 5th as a newcomer to the GC race. My word, it is still week 1. 😈 Pic: Getty Images JohanDiv, Zebra, DJR and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 6, 2023 Share How was this part of the final slog? Commentators speculating on how Powless would feel riding with the best riders, as the crowds close the width of the road (top right bend). TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, Wout is now where Sagan was at his prime, but he might be at an even better level with these kinds of rides for his GC teammate. Same as Sagan then, it feels like Wout should be winning every second stage, but cycling doesn't work like that. Hope he gets a stage win or two though, he really is due... splat and Zebra 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling Wout won't sprint full-out today after yesterday emtying the tank, unless he can find Philipsen's wheel behind MVDP, but it looks like one for the pure sprinters. Rather take it easy if he can't get on that train. Saturday is a hilly route, not mountains, here he'll probably have the best shot at his first stage win this year.

Worth noting that on some stages the Lanterne Rouge guys are doing live watchalongs on YouTube. So you open that on your phone, mute the TV, and listen to them, which is generally good banter.

GCN+ actually have an "Ambient sounds" audio track available on their stream that's exactly this. Just fans, motos and mashing gears.
