So glad Pog gapped Vingegard at the end. Despite the best efforts of Jumbo Visma you just can’t keep a good man down. Chapeau Tadej.
Hats off too to the route planners as it’s been excitement from the off rather than ten days of flat shite before the lumpy stuff kicks in. Vive le Tour!
Just picking up on this, I had a look at the stages for the first time today and my god it's one hell of a tour they've set up. I watch every year, but this one seems a real tough one! Just when you think they couldn't possibly do another mountain stage there's an even harder one to climb. It's going to be a monumental effort from the riders to get over all of the climbs that are coming. It's no wonder they're relaxing today! Lots of twists and turns to come, but it's been brilliant so far thanks to the great opening stages they've put on. Jumbo Visma have so much strength in their team that they will take some beating, because the GC contenders are going to need their teams big time!
