Mountain Bru Posted July 10 Posted July 10 13 minutes ago, NickGM said: Did he though? Cynical I know, but he seemed to fish around in his pockets for ages. I couldn't work out if he was looking for a gel or an excuse. Whatever the case, these two are now going to knock the hell out of each other for the next week and a half. One a bit undercooked, one a bit overcooked. My 2c is that he legit bonked. If he didn't have legs, I reckon he wouldn't have hammered the Puy Mary decent as hard as he did. And he was fishing for a gel and looking for neutral service for so much of the time he was with Jonas.

He also does seem like a guy with a lot of integrity who hasn't battled to say "I wasn't strong enough today" in the past. He hasn't looked for excuses. But ya, he has looked invincible for so long that it might be tempting to keep that aura by implying that the only reason he was vaguely beatable today was down to poor eating. Vetplant 1
babse Posted July 10 Posted July 10 He is burning so little how could he bonk? 1 gel should suffice for 5hrs... Also he said he waited for Jonas 🙃 https://youtu.be/ISvsAPIGOTA?si=l2Jd46dWbKUYqS2L Mountain Bru, TheoG and BuffsVintageBikes 3
Frosty Posted July 10 Posted July 10 Haven't watched the stage, but know the result, and can only comment based on comments I've read/heard. If today was a "bad" day for Pog, and he only lost 1s to Jonas (time bonuses), then it's as good as a win. It's not as one-sided as some comments have said it would be. TheoG and mazambaan 2

Pall Catt Posted July 10 Posted July 10 Hi guys, Not sure if its been discussed here, it's a busy thread so difficult to go back and check through all the posts, but is anyone else frustrated with Supersport's broadcasting if highlights packages for those of us that aren't able to follow the live coverage? Last week they were fairly consistent with a 2 hour highlights package from 19h30 to 21h30 (though they did randomly skip one day). Now this week they haven't had that for stage 10 or 11 (instead its now showing at 11pm, which is also not feasible). Does anyone know what's up with that, or whether its worth it for me/us (anyone else with the same frustrations) to send them an email? They do have their 25min highlight clips on catchup, so fairplay to them for that, but thats just a bit condensed for me and I prefer the 2 hour highlights. I wonder if they couldn't just put the 2 hour highlights on catchup too? DJuice 1

NotSoBigBen Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Too lazy to look back but what happened to 'it will be all over after the 4th day' predictors? Bit of a change in circumstance for me (not in a bad way) so I watch when and where I can, enjoying it though! mikkelz, TheoG and mecheng89 3
