Is Poggy going fast enough to get the aero gain from deep rims

The TT stage is going to be interesting. Road bikes on post rest day legs?

So every time there's a sprint (without motor bikes in front) Pogacar takes time, but Pogacar failed to drop Vingegaard (though he might have done if he'd left it a bit later), Jumbo 'made the race hard' but only Pogacar had a team mate with him at the end (though not at the top of the last mountain). My money is still on Pogacar but the race could go all the way to Rome.

When was the last time that all the current top five on GC had won a stage, except the yellow jersey?

Anyone else raise an eyebrow at WVA's recovery yesterday? It was almost superhuman.

Yep at it again

Wtf was going on with cofidis. Looked like old mate coquard was close to having a punch up with his teammate!

He does a great impression of a rider who's absolutely cracked after doing the big turns on the front, but actually he could be very good at riding his bike extra slow to see home the stage after his shift, saving as much energy as possible.

Fucking idiots and their phones

Right by fans stood in front of token barriers

Sepp Kuss down in that incident?

I think he was the rider who was hit by the spectator, no?

Oh was it? I couldn't tell. Van Hooydonck looked like he got the worst of it

I'm not sure, but it was one of the smaller JV riders, and that's only really Kuss and Vingegaard (and it obviously wasn't him). Van Hooydonck definitely went down hard.

How is Van Hooydonck passing concussion protocol after that.

Coquard regretting getting those AliX handlebars

I'm pretty sure it was Kuss, unfortunately. He has a bloody shoulder/elbow apparently.

Hope he's ok, not good for JV if he's not.

He rode down the descent on those!

Madonna Louise Veronica going for it today.

Soler riding like he's still at Movistar

You can take the man out of Movistar, but you can’t take Movistar out of the man.

Yeah, probably shouldn't take a bottle from a moto whilst cornering on a descent.
