Is Jonas actually a bike handling god? He sure made Pogacar look slow in most corners at this Tour, and then that save in this TT was incredible. He was riding a one inch line of tarmac before he went off into the grass and hit that rock wall. He definitely seems like he can descend better than most of the other GC guys.

I think Vingegaard is such a good and confident descender that when he's just riding it looks like he's taking risks. That was a world class save, no drama, just save it and get back to work. Wout's reaction was great.

He has now proven he is better in both the mountains, TT, strategy, stamina and more. This year JV was the better rider of the two - that can't be up for debate anymore.

The reason why Vingegaard let Van Aert win the stage was so now Van Aert has broken the new era sprint record set by Sagen in 2018 (477 p). If Jonas won Van Aert would only equal Sagans 477. But by Van Aert winning the stage, he also broke Sagans record. Van Aert has now 480 p in green with one sprint stage to go.

Super critical words last night in the Netherlands’ most important cycling talk show. People like Marcel Kittel were among the guests, and they were extremely disappointed how TJV handled press conference questions regarding doping after the finish. They were saying that after being so dominant this seeason, TJV has a responsibility to be transparent about their performances in order to not re-create much of the doubt that the Armstrong era brought to cycling. Since TJV is a Dutch team and the talk show is usually extremely biased in favor of them, I was quite taken aback by these strong words. What are your opinions guys?

Wout left it all out there to until he'd hit a wall to send Jonas to the finish. Jonas almost hit a wall out there until he turned left to meet Wout at the finish.

everyone is on discs now bro so equally disadvantaged. Pog crashed because his rear disc locked up and cooked his line so much he ended up in the gravel.

Jonas definately let of the gas in the end for wout. He was 4-5 seconds faster 3 km before the goal and then comes in 17 seconds after him at the end at the point where he was strongest. You can see he was celebrating on the way back and sitting up taking it slow. However wout deserved the win and it i is not like there would have been a big difference only 5-10 seconds on the whole TT if jonas went for the win.

The people saying JV gave away the win are being disrespectful toward Van Aert. Van Aert is a tank and he was the fastest. I imagine after the near crash, JV was thinking "right, let's just get this home rather than trying to be a hero." WVA makes going to the edge look easy. JV nearly lost everything trying to match him and it may well be that he didn't have the legs to keep doing it and be confident of maintaining control. Would have been just a silly risk. Van Aert won fair and square and on merit.

@@MichaelBoogerd with so few stages, it is even more important to bring Cav as even a single stage win would be a historic event rather than the disappointing outing Quick-Step has had this tour. Even if Cav didn't bring home the green jersey, he'd still be the talk of the tour behind the GC battle and Quick-step would be the team that got him there. Imagine the alternative history of Cav, wearing the British National Champs jersey, charging down the Champs-Elysees to make history or extend his record. Sensational scenes...

surprised how much he pushed the TT given he had 3+min and just had to make it through in a reasonable time.

He didn't want to just defend the jersey, he wanted to well and truly beat Pog, not only on the big climbs, but also in the TT. Because we will (or at least I will) remember forever the masterclass on stage 11, the Hautacam, AND this TT as the moments that broke what seemed to be an absolute and inevitable dominance of Pog in the forseeable future. He didn't need to do it, to give the final hammerblow, but not only he did, as he did it while slowing down in the end giving Wout the win. This right here is class personified. Congrats Jonas.

Bad behaviour Mr Patrick Broe lately. The authorities have been informed

If I'm going for either the win of the Tour de France, in the yellow Jersey, on the penultimate stage, or a stage win over my team mate. It's a complete non brainer. Had he crashed into that wall, at best he would gave regretted it for the rest of his life. The worst scenario doesn't bear thinking about. Discretion is the better part of valour....what on earth was his director sportif thinking. Or was he willfully ignoring his DS?
