Great 2 days in the Pyrenees. Missed yesterday's race, which sounded exciting.
Watched the last 60k today, which was definitely exciting.
Going to be a great Tour again if they keep this up.

I need to find a job that will allow me to take three weeks off in July (on top of the other 5) just to watch the Tour De France. Looks like I missed an all timer today. Highlights are good but I need more.

Did you see Wout nearly keel over after he finished his last pull for Vingegaard?
Epic ride.

He was absolutely done. Lucky the bystanders gave him a shove to keep him upright.
The guy is a machine to run himself that low for the team.

Must be so disheartening when you’ve had a team like Kuss, Aert et al pulling you along all day and then Pogacar just flies past you with 2K to go

But this just feels like after yesterday, they decided to make gains on Pogacar while he was weak. A good tactic, executed brilliantly but then Tadej just had the legs today. |

Vingegaard looked absolutely fucked at the finish line, he’ll look forward to a flat stage tomorrow

Pogacar must have been done too having gone all in knowing he could chill today. I assume vingegaard was knackered after the previous days efforts. He must be disheartened after yesterday though after probably thinking pog wasn't back at full fitness. The Alps are going to be very interesting!  |

I remember his coach commented on how exceptional Pog was at recovery, far better than any other rider he’d dealt with (yeah, obligatory 👀 probably required).
But, still coming back from the injury, still being bothered by it, he obviously went hell for leather there to make a statement but it might be too early to say he’s back at his best.
Though, obviously, he’s ridden himself back into form and THE TOUR IS NOW OVER.

So close for cav, he’s still got the speed though. Just too far out to hold it. Not many chances left in this tour

I thought Cav was going to pull it off for a brief moment there.

Possibly would’ve if his drivetrain didn’t jump back and forth between 11 and 12

Poor lad was devastated in his interview after.

Devestating way to end your career, gutted for Cav. He was looking so good too, fastest speeds in the peloton this year, but for a proper mechanical groupset he’d have won yesterday

Ugh. I'm annoyed at the news of Cav's crash. I was sure he'd get lucky on one of the sprint stages.
Lots of speculation about whether or not he'll add another year now. It's a lot of work to get yourself motivated for all over again.

Puy de Dome later today. I reckon it’s got Pog all over it.

A fair few riders legs completely going once they crested the summit today. Brutal.

Speaking of a proper spectacle. Jonas and Tadej are in the breakaway group at the moment.

JV shelling some of Pog's domestiques already, and rumours started by Skjelmose that WvA will be heading home after tomorrow…
Can't believe JV are likely to give a shit about Pello Bilbao, that's more a Ineos/FDJ concern.

I want to ride this climb. I also want Ving to get a second GC win, but I do love Pogi's snappy acceleration and the way he rolls that bike around to generate the power.

Bit of a phony war today, kicks off tomorrow with Ramaz - 10k flat - Joux Plane though, satellite riders will be in full effect for JV again no doubt.
