Jon Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Yeah that was unexpected! Thought it might be a stage for wout van aert or van der poul or even pidcock. The Yates boys both look in top form. Shame about Enric Mas and Carapaz though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An early dose of pain for the riders. Edited July 2, 2023 by maqroll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 No way there's not still drugs in this game. Some of them knock off this little cycle, then do the La Vuelta a couple of weeks later. I think one year the same guy won them both, no chance this happens without some hidden narcotics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always that suspicion with the physical exploits of some of these boys. Some of what they can do seems almost superhuman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoyed the softening up of J7mbo Visma by the other attacks. Given the amount of work he had to do, second was still an impressive result for WVA too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Amazing conclusion to todays stage especially as it was a hill finish! It’s almost a 2 horse race now so will be interesting to see the team tactics as it progresses 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Yep. Been a great TDF so far, with the top 2 separated by just 10 seconds with 1 week to go. A race full of incident, breakaways, crashes etc.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People go to sporting events to record crap videos on their phones these days, very few people seem to be at sports to actually watch them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just that VinGoGo was on fire. Should make tomorrow's stage interesting. Pog will have to attack again and again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
