Perhaps Vingegaard was correct not to ride on Monday, eh Remco?

lol

I understand for sprint stages but surely descending is part of the job

Was there beef on the rest day?

Remco suggested Jonas hadn't pushed with him and Pog because, perhaps, he had no balls. Vingegaard said it was just smart racing.

That was on Sunday’s stage, not Monday (which was a rest day).

That's all the beef there was... I think Vingegaard's response was on the rest day

pog bonked

when I hit the deck I'm usually up instantly

Doing it badly wrong. I'm disappointed.

Thats mad

Good/ rough interview with Fred Wright who missed the timecut

:-(

No porn links on here please...

Brutal. He sounds so upset about his performance. Was he off the bike at the start of the season of something?

Judging by the massive scar on his shoulder I’d he’s done his collarbone recently

No idea but is there some illness going around the peloton? Two Cofidis abandons today based on unexplained lack of energy.

I love Fred

Thank fuck 🙏

Wout pretty banged up.

I wonder what the Flemish equivalent of you "Can't park there, mate!" is?

Morkov a DNS today due to Covid.

What a shit way to end your final Tour.

There's a lot of covid around it seems, anecdotally. I know a number (well, 5) people currently off work due to it in various parts of Europe. Summer traveling responsible? More outdoor mixing? Footy watching?

Fred Wright, might have an interview on the escape collective podcast as they discussed his 130km in front of the broom wagon and said they'd try to catch up with him to find out what was wrong.

good pre-excuse for sir cav to drop after today's stage

Even without the 'rona I wonder if the peak from taking the record and subsequent "well shit we've got our goal" just means they're all a bit like "fuck this, can we just retire now"

any sprinter who is not in contention for green jersey can drop after today, zero reason to continue

Apart from the possibility of winning a stage. 🤷‍♂️
