Should be crosswinds before the sprint and then into the headwind for the climbs. Be bold and very early but somebody has to have a go. Could get shelter from the wind on the climbs.

This will be brutal

Baguette, uh huh huh
BAGUETTE! Uh huh huh

I want to see them crying in pain half way up col de portet

They did that on the last stage, getting 2 riders into the break, who then waited at the top of the penultimate climb.

The problem is that Carapaz just isn't strong enough to go clear of the other race leaders, let alone Pog. He can go with them, but he's at his limit and doesn't have anything left with which to attack once his teammates have been exhausted.

No they didn't - They used them as satellite riders - They have good enough riders to win from a break.

Israel are obviously setting it up for Froomey. This should be epic.

The Col De Peyresourde has to be the best name for a mountain in world cycling.

Illegal in Australia.

Matthews could have been 22 points behind Cav tonight. Instead he's 37. Don't come Monday Chris Juul Jensen

Actually, Juul-Jensen is one of the best domestics in the peleton, and actually helped Matthews reach the break and the first intermediate sprint - Bike Exchange's issues with performance stem back to 5 years ago when they focused on GC without having a big enough budget, which then resulted in them ignoring parts of their program.

Speaking of which;

That's a poor tweet from Richie's partner - Then again she is part of Team Ineos who have sent a number of uncomplimentary tweets attacking Kirby's commentary.

Michael Woods for the polka dots surely (and perhaps the stage)

... And undid that good work by joining a break that took those points away.

Did you see the date of the tweet?
Richie's crash on stage 9 of the TDF in 2017.

Least Kirby could have managed was get Porte's name right.

And for once I'm in Ineos' camp Kirby is bloody awful.

I reposted it in response to;

Are you not a fan of commentators using correct names and knowing race situations?

Gotcha.

Three Frenchmen in the lead now Postleberger has imploded. Baguettes being waved aggressively by joyous cheese-eaters everywhere.

There will be fixed cameras at the finish but that cloud/fog doesn't bode well for the coverage near the end of the Portet climb.

Think Perez and Godon will survive without being caught by the UAE train?

Probably. They need 5+ minutes at the bottom of the climb at a minimum

 

[sumavich]

How about the Freo kid, hardly ever mention the boy. He’s coming 5th in the GC, but they are more interested in their mates

Huh? They regularly mention him. Strange post.

O'conner about to be in trouble when they go again
