This is coming up tomorrow...![]()
And you could see it being blown apart again. Jumbo worked incredibly hard, all of them, from the Telegraph onward, constantly attacking. Interesting to see what form they have tomorrow.
Yep, everyone will be spent from today's effort. I suspect a bit of truce until the Alpe, and then a battle of the least tired!
The GC now looks the most exciting it’s been in years.
What a difference a day makes!
I think the main difference is that Roglič has now lost a big chunk of time (+14mins), so Pogačar (and others), don't need to worry about him as much.
As @<u><a href="https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/member.php?u=16159" target="_blank">Bold Seagull</a></u> points out, Ineos have kept their powder driest so far of the big teams and have two riders only 2 and 3 minutes down. Also, just seen the TT is a 40 km flat affair, nice for Thomas, although that's in 10 days...
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).
Expecting a low key day from the GC contenders today after yesterdays monuMENTAL efforts, with maybe a few digs from some on the upper slopes of Alpe d'Huez to take back a few seconds here and there.
Bastille Day + Galibier + Croix de Fer + Alpe d'Huez = Thibaut Pinot Time!
