Would be great if either of the breakaway Brits gets a result

Some top rides today. What an arena to win your first grand tour race.

Wow, one hell of a ride, and better, for me, because it was t just won on the climb but with some brilliant riding for 10’s of kilometres beforehand.

Descending at 105kph is insane

I hit 85 on Sunday and basically couldn’t see.

I bet you didn’t have a sheer drop down the side of a mountain if you over cooked it

Huzzah! I didn't realize Pidcock was in my velogames team!
So, do you reckon the yellow is secure?
There the Pyrenees still to come but I doubt Pogacar, with what's left of his team, can attack the JV boys and make up over 2 minutes.

One 40km TT left at the end though. He's made up two minutes before...

Anyone can have a bad day, nothing really certain. If Pog could get within a minute before the TT he could still have a chance.

One bad day in the pyrenees is all it could take.
I'd sooner Vingegaard won, but we'll see!

No luck for me in the EF kit random queue, oh well saved myself 200 quid on a pink shirt I guess.

I got a jersey, they told me an hour wait once the queue opened so thought id just fuck it off. Opened my phone half an hour later and found myself logged in to the shop

Took about 50 mins here, all was left was boring black t-shirts and size 12 Crocs. Pass.
Question is to wear your shirt, or flog on ebay for twice the price?

Thing is with pog he could make any stage his. I was just looking at todays stage - I expect the Peloton to sit up and have a rest day and let the breakaway go out with the last two days being so brutal but i wouldn’t be surprised if Tadj tried something today.

Nah I’ll keep it. I had to go up the medium as no small in stock, so if it doesn’t fit right I’ll pass it on but the aero jerseys are a bit tighter anyway

It'll flap around like Vingegaard's yellow jersey

Well, the only silver lining to testing positive yesterday and feeling rubbish is that i can have the live coverage on whilst i nap
Those adverts though! Normally watch the catchup on itvHub with the pihole stripping them all out.

Glad to have left SunLife, funeral directors, and Israel tourism board adverts behind when I went for the Eurosport player... Most sporting events now have advert-free feeds, which is a game-changer: if you can mind the plugs for Discovery/GCN/Whoop

Wow, what an impressive finish on that last climb! And are no doubt sponsoring half the dogs, cats, and children of Africa. Compared to the usual audience demographic of those watching itv 4 in the afternoon, they could do with some rescheduling of those adverts. |

Really impressed with the look of the Mende climb. The yellow road finishing looked great.

Boy am I glad the size Small was sold out, this thing is snug as fuck in medium. All my jerseys are regular pro team in small, I’ve got one aero in small that’s a bit tighter than regular but this must be from the actual team production as it’s smaller than the lot of them. Better lay off the pastel de natas this summer  |

Quick trip to Girona and you’ll be getting asked for your signature around town.

Compared to the usual audience demographic of those watching itv 4 in the afternoon, they could do with some rescheduling of those adverts. I was so confused until you mentioned adverts at the end. There Belgian public TV station broadcasts the Tour. Uninterrupted cycling from 1.30pm until about 30 minutes after they finished here. |

Magnus Cort Nielssen and Simon Clarke out with Corona.
Roglic out as well (not Corona related).
It's going to be a hot one today.

What seemed to be a fairly innocuous day cycling to what has to be the most picturesque finish has turned into a nightmare for Jumbo Visma.
Libe coverage isn’t able to relay it all at once so I’ll need to watch the highlights tonight.
