It was a bit crazy.
The day reminded me of my commute.

Jonas looking good at the moment.

I still don’t think he’s on par with Pogi though. Averaged 420 watts in the climb yesterday.

I think I have the same pain face

Yeah…he won’t look back now.

Seems like a pretty routine Giro win for Jonas barring any disasters. 5 stage wins and UAE losing riders early. It’s been pretty dominant.

I’ll post this here but direct a discussion that’s kicked off elsewhere to here

HaHa… seen at the World Naked Bike Ride recently…

Pogi monstered the Tour of Switzerland and a win for Pidcock today too. Kuss looked ok in the same race. Pidcock needed a little assistance from a team mate today.

Can’t see anyone beating Pog in this year’s Tour. He even beat MvdP in a flat time trial.

Is this TdF TTT format completely new? I don’t remember this format being used before. It’s so unusual seeing a rider (team leader) going to the finishing line alone.

Yeah it’s new

Yes it’s new. It has been trialled in other races and it’s been popular.

Vingegaard in yellow with 11 seconds on Pogi. Nice work team Visma

Tour’s over already I think.

What makes you say that?!?!!?

Pogi looking like he was out for a Sunday afternoon ride with a 6 year old shouting encouragement to get over the big hill while everyone else looked ragged.

Looked pretty ominous to me. We’ll have to wait for the mountains proper of course. Vingegaard is better on those but it I feel it showed a difference between them.

Remco did ok.

Jonas is doing ok right now.

But you are right, UAE are a fecking machine.

Pog is already building little time gaps here and there.

Damn sports washing team!

Has Remco finished yet?

:rofl:

He is. Good place and can put some control on things. Jorgensen going really well too.

I missed Wout yesterday. That could have been fireworks had he been fit.

Pogi just makes everyone look ordinary, but they aren’t. Makes me feel pathetic
