LOL at the Jumbo-Visma show. 5 JV plus another one up the road ready to help.

It's the attack that gets a slight gap from Pog and can use WvA sitting 30 metres ahead that could do it.

Watching Pog here (to combine this with the Top Gun thread) reminds me of the scene in the original TG when Iceman is being swarmed by Migs 🤣

The show that Jumbo Visma is putting on is incredible.

Roglic to attack towards the top of the Galibier then to descend like a madman meeting Wout van Alert, giving him a tow to the final Col.

and JV still was WvA up the front

G and a couple of the dropped JV riders (plus Nairo Quintana) might be able to combine forces for a bit....

Blimey... i don't think i have seen racing like this for a long time, the confidence Pog has is crazy, "5 of you....1 of me, i fancy my odds of not just holding you off, but attacking you from 50km out..."

He has left himself quite isolated though. Vingegaard still has WvA up the road.
G and Sepp Kuss slowly clawing their way back to the two leaders along with Romain Bardet.

G back on now; suspect he knows he can't keep up with the crazy attacks; so riding his own pace to the top to cement 3rd place will be the goal

Bardet has gone straight through and ridden off the front of the yellow jersey group, as per my suggestion in post 1

Yeah, at this rate I can see Romain Bardet and Geraint Thomas swapping places on GC.

Ooh, Yates is back in the Yellow Jersey group!
And WvA has clearly just been freewheeling, he's just been waiting up for them. This should be good. 🙂

Where’s WVA?

About 1'10" back in a group with Roglic, Pidcock, Davide Gaudu...
He's now drilling it to try and drag that group back to the Yellow Jersey selection.

I hope WvA has the meter running, he seems to be running some sort of taxi service..

I can confirm that climb is horrible, the km markers take an age to go past

Why the surprise at UAE when they click as a team?

They've got some amazing riders so it's not a shock when they get the tactics right.

Bardet goes - this is putting Thomas into trouble with his position on GC but Pogacar doesn't really have to worry too much about it.

Barguil has pretty much died completely, even Pogacar is finally looking under pressure.
