Is there any advantage on the decent?

I think Pog keeps it together because he can outsprint him at the line for bonus seconds.

Yeah we are gonna be hearing more about this I suspect lol

I almost got hit by one of those in Alpe d’Huez.  It’s hard to see them coming when you’re in the crowd

Holy crap what an epic stage that was. Pogo and Vingo mano y mano. A death match. Vingo gains one second on Pogo.

Except for the fucking motorcycles.  Pog had that sprint.

The motorcyles etc.. are just part of it. It could just as easily have been a fan, a musette, an inopportune water bottle etc...  The tour is a moveable feast.

From the reddit prediction thread for tomorrow lol

It’s another Vingo Pogi battle, everybody on edge going faster than ever. they climb and climb, eventually they hit the peak but keep climbing, into the sky, ripping a hole in space time they fuse together, creating vengaboy. Teleported to 1999 they find themselves climbing Alpe d'huez - they see him.. it’s Lance! Game on, they ride - but he is simply too strong.

Everything seems lost, but then, in the distance they see a boney shadow.

It’s GC Kuss - who’s been right behind them all this time. Elegantly he dances ahead of Lance and takes the stage.

What a ducking stage. Amazing Tour at stage 14. Jonas rode well today, really well. Maybe not the script JV had been taking up - they didn’t drop TP but Jonas limited the damage. 
 

Gonna be a great weekend.

Fucking spectator

Fucking idiots. How much more close to the riders do you need to be? That shit is so dangerous and hopefully that doesn’t end up putting any riders out. Those things are hard to forget. Besides the recent ones like “sign lady,”  I still vividly remember Thor Hushovd in a sprint finish wearing the yellow jersey getting lacerated by a spectator holding out one of those green PMU fans, and of course that Armstrong guy getting his handlers snagged on a spectators cheap musette in the way up Luz Ardiden. Kinda surprised we haven’t seen any significant jackassery or race interference involving drones.

Third week Wout showed up a day early

LOL ... I'm old enough to remember when the cyclists (Hinnault) would fight the fans. Remember when Contador punched that guy?

Hinault was tougher than the striking dock workers.

Pogacar doesn’t look great. JV should see if he can gap him. 

He looked very off yesterday body language wise. Thousand yard stare and not his usual joie d vivre. Will have to see how the rest day treats him, but I have pretty much been skeptical he can last three weeks after his lack of prep. I still think the Col De la Loze is going to be the Tour.

Lots of twists and turns in the race. A few days Pogacar looked like it was just a matter of time before he took yellow. Now Vingegaard seems to have the answers for him.

Week three is going to be interesting.

I think it's going to come down to the TT

It's way too short imo. But we are fixing to find out

It’s going to be intriguing. With the margin just 10”, it could change things some. What is the weather forecast?

Yeah it definitely can. I suspect we see a swing of multiple minutes up on the Loze though.
