Vingegaard said that he didnt want to pull on the counter hill since we felt sure that if he did Pogi would attempt to attack again.

Good move then?

I'm not the first in these comments to wish for daily TdF analysis videos from Dan Lloyd. He managed to squeeze in pivotal race highlights and tactical analysis in 13+ minutes, whereas the entire commentary team at Peacock had a 7+ hour broadcast to do the same and fell short at many key moments. RIP GCN+ for race broadcasts but really glad to have access to the GCN+ Originals again via the subscription platform. Totally worth it.

Pog attacked almost at the top of the climb when the gradients had eased up, so we shouldn't read too much into his inability to distance Vingegaard. At most, it shows that Jonas is not uncompetitive, as many had speculated he could be.

So with the mention of Cillian Kelly and his stats at 9:51, does that mean he's back at GCN? He posted on X/Twitter that he was no longer at GCN last month and looking for a job. Hoping he's back with a more expanded job at GCN.

Stage 2 coverage on the last climb is terrible. They should have 4 split screen to see where they are and the guy who won the race. Because we can't really see what happen with the other contender.

In a way I am sure that this win by Bardet and van den Broek will remain the nicest , the most beautiful thing happening in this whole TdF -- for me personally !

No he didnt want to pull cause pogacar would use that to attack him after he would pull. Ofc if vingegaard felt extremely confident maybe he would have done that, but maybe not even as he has tried that before and it backfires to pull pogacar. IE 6 stage last year.

Pogi seems a bit fed up.

The peleton should do Cavendish a favour and gift him an easy stage, so he can own the record and withdraw as looks beaten. Unless! Its all a bluff and he comes flying out in Stage Four and absolutely obliterates with his Astana team! The sooner he has a crack at the record, the better for the race as we can focus on other storylines for upcoming cyclists, tactics. Plus Astana can focus on having a proper crack at other goals

Jonas and Visma team are doppers! Cheaters! I always said it and today in the live stream they found a spectator from Denmark who bragged about how he knows Jonas very good from teenage years when they rode together for local teams but then unintentionally ousted Jonas saying that he was always below average rider who constantly got dropped and then started getting really good after he was 18. Hahaha, I knew it. You can make a case against Tadej, but Tadej was always extraordinary. He had to compete in categories higher to have challenge. I raced in Slovenia, Austria and Italy in the 90s and you'd never see a champ coming out of being average. I was never average and all those that were champion material, we'd never get dropped. The fact that Jonas suddenly rose to power and fame is just the Visma LAB thing. Lab specifically. It's very obvious, but lots of fresh cyclists are popping up following this sport and thus they're easily impressed and persuaded that Jonas is a special guy, that Wout is a special guy, that Roglic is a special guy, that Jorgenson is a special guy. That the entire Visma from 2022 and 2023 were amazing! Sure, amazing at gobbling concoctions from their LAB. Ain't no way Wout who's from a completely different world, cyclocross can perform at such high speeds as road cyclist specialists and sprinters. No way Roglic comes into cycling way late from a completely unrelated sport discipline and under Jumbo becomes a champ of road racing. Talent? Sure, but much more science than talent is the game here. And Jonas from cold ass Denmark performs amazing in heat and gets better in the 3rd week of grand Tours. A bunch of garbage masking the fact he's dopped up because his team director is greedy as shit!!! And their dirty racing is disgusting. Last Tour they forced the peloton to wait for their injured riders who were not even GC while they had Wout in the breakaway who wasn't slowing down. When Jonas saw that Tadej was in pain from his wrist injury and was shaking his hand after they reached the top of a climb Wout and Jonas started accelerating into the descent and started dropping Tadej. Total BS team and they finally got their karma this year. And now they're tryina spy and stalk their contenders w/ their stupid van. Ugh, never despised anybody as much as I do them and their weasel Jonas who pretends to be humble and is everything but that for those that have the eyes to see. I could back anybody to win over Tadej but not this guy. Something's off about him ever since he got onto the scene and that's why the general consensus in the peloton is that nobody cares about him. Most tolerate him and that's it. And stop trying to brainwash me how Danes are just such humble quiet people. Blah, blah, blah. I said when Kuss won Vuelta that Visma will fall apart. You can't be so greedy to dope up everybody and then have too many top dogs racing for Jonas only. Kuss got a taste of fame and victory and that was enough. He don't want to waste his prime years to make others famous anymore. They made a huge mistake by letting him win. It was their downfall. And they should have never forced Primoz and Wout to be super domestiques. They trained them to be winners, so they're not happy to grind themselves to dust for others. It doesn't work that way.
