    Couldn't even sit on the saddle. Think it was Van Hooydonck's bike. 18cm height difference.

    I really miss the days when a wheel could be changed in 5 seconds.

    All these bike changes are too messy.

    Rog on his own at the back of the lead bunch. Surely Laporte has to drop back. Everyone else is already behind Rog helping Vingegaard

    Blimey is the Tour being handed to Pogacar on this stage? This should make for a good episode of Cycle to Survive.

    Yup, and Roglic behind all of them.

    I would not be surpirsed to see Pog win this stage, looks so strong

    I knew Roglic would be destroyed today, I even posted it in the main TDF thread! It's nice to be right occasionally. Great stage

    Is it wrong that I'm praying for Pog to puncture?

    I think Yates is in the Vingegaard and Thomas group also

    Fair play to Gaudu and Vlasov. Both still up there (excluding Pog of course).

    Yeah none of this bodes well for the Tour as a whole. Makes for a great day but not a great remaining 2 and half weeks.

    Mind you Jumbo have no choice but to try and 1, 2 Pog to death in the mountains so might provide some fun all the same.

    Most of those GC guys were only 12 seconds behind Pog.

    I can't remember the last time I went into a TDF looking forward to the two big favourites battling it out neck and neck to Paris, and it pretty much happening. In hindsight, you could say 2020 was exactly that, but Pog was not really on anyone's radar as an immediate TDF winner that year from what I can remember. It always seems to be either one team choking the life out of the race (looking at you Team Sky) or one/ more favourites having a disaster of a day early doors.
