I typed it, and then he immediately got dropped.

McNulty is going better than Kuss today?? Yikes!

McNulty should pull off now. Save a bit for another go tomorrow. Let the bossman duke it out for the rest of the climb.

“When I can win a stage like that on a grand tour like the Tour, there's always a little ritual. I go home to take a shower and put Rammstein loud. When I get out of the shower, I film myself naked on Snapchat playing "helicopter" with my genitals. I will then forward it to my best friends. But I only do that with big wins like in the Tour or the Vuelta. Otherwise it would be a bit weird," said Cort Nielsen.

Pogacar cross-chaining up the final climb. Maybe he asked for a shimano chain today

What is Pog playing at?

So if Pog can't get any time on Vinge in this stage, will he ever?
Is this it?

Is Pog toast? Vingegaard with some power play there!

Pogacar is pretty good eh?

GAAAH camera angle

that sucked

Good finish, but very disappointing final climb. Guess Pog had nothing in the tank.

Pogacar x Ineos raid on yellow tomorrow?
hopes

Geraint Thomas - "Didn't really expect that especially from Bjerg, he put in a hell of a shift for the rider he is, it was cracking me up that he was hurting me so much on a climb"

UAE were dishing out extra Shredded Wheat at breakfast clearly.

And when you have finished they make you ride uphill even more to the bus !!

Are you and Dan Lloyd on some kind of sponsorship deal?

Jakobsen beat the cut off time by 18 seconds. Chapeau.

So Pog lost the Tour on the Col du Granon. Was it a fair battle? Did his team fuck up? Did the Jumbo hordes give Vingegaard an unfair advantage?

Jakobsen v the Broom Wagon.

If this race had happened back in the days when wins were decided by brown envelopes, we'd be wondering whether Quintana and Bardet were paid to attack Pog on stage 11.

That’s brilliant. I’d love to know how his final 100m compares to Pog’s.

He might regret not making use of 14 of those spare 15 seconds when they hit the climbs tomorrow...

McNulty being faster than Pantani in his pomp is super domestique for sure

So many knowing references throughout this tour this year and semi-loaded analysis, articles, and think-pieces. I can't remember if this is the norm throughout a tour or if this year's seems overly pointed.
