[Other Sport] Le Tour de France

[pb21]

Pogačar is on another level, and I don't mean that in a 'nudge, nudge' way either, I think he is sound, he has the full package. He is only 23 too!

Like [MENTION=225]Hamilton[/MENTION] says, I wonder if these early efforts will cost him in the next 2-weeks, probably not, or not more than others though.

Looking ahead, an interesting stage tomorrow in a truly beautiful part of the world.

There's every chance Pogacar will win his third Tour de France before Merckx had even competed in his first.

With 11 stage wins already, our assumption that the Merckx/Cav record was one for the ages, doesn't look so certain.

I've only been watching TdF for 10 years or so (and don't watch other cycling), but Pogacar looks a prime candidate for GOAT (if we're allowed to use such terms for cycling).

You mean The Albion could comfortably beat him 4-0 missing a further 3 open goals?

Pinot reeling in Jungels, with the mini group closing the gap.

Another great race.

Pinot lacked power in the end … called by Eurosport about 30 minutes back.

Ned and Dave worked it out the moment Super Bob went over the last climb.



Always been #TeamBob so am well happy.

Interesting last 500 metres today.

The front 4 almost ground to a (relative) halt, with an ice cool Lennard Kämna waiting at the back, in a game of tactical chess. Shirley one of the 4 would win?

But allowing the chasing pack to overtake them.

Fireworks before the GC even hit the foot of Col du Galibier!

Fascinating scenes!

Fantastic, 2 hours to go and the big guns are going for it. I know Pogacar will probably cooly see them all out, but lovely to see the others not throwing in the towel.

To a backdrop of stunning mountains, we’ve been there, by car!

 

[Weststander]

Breathtaking.

Love the excitable Eurosport commentary.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Well, well, well...

 

[pb21]

Boom!

"Incredible scenes Jeff!"

Vingegaard …. so far.

(******** could’ve taken him down).
