G DISTANCES POG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was going to say that. Darn you.
Go on G!
sviuepqobirytvpi!!!;os gaaaihfhfahahSEIOESOIUOGISVU WHAAAAAAAAAT
Yes!!!
I'm not a huge fan of INEOS but cmon G-man!!!!!
<stands up>
Doing no work whatsoever anymore, this is nailbiting!
COME ON G!!!
Yates is back with Pogacar now so hopefully he can just sit on him and not help.
Well it sounds like the highlights should be worth a watch tonight
On a work call - flipped back to the GCN and ooh..
Doing no work whatsoever anymore, this is nailbiting!
Not been doing any since coverage started... #donttellanyone 😉

They'll have to extend to 3 hours.
Suddenly, this whole Tour has been blown wide open, the GC will massively shift. Bardet and Quintana doing amazing rides, G is consolidating, Pogacar falling away... In fact he's looking pretty wrecked all of a sudden!
Floyd Landis effort from pog tomorrow?
yep pog is losing it here he is cooked
I've never been a Quintana fan and actually I think he was always talked up more than he deserved but it is genuinely nice to see him finally having a good day.
G to win it on the penultimate TT ?
Anyone else half expecting pog to have a positive test for covid in the next day or 2

He's lost a good chunk of his team already so it'd be no surprise.
Epic ride. Great Quintana ride too.
With the crowds yelling in their faces I'd expect more positive covid tests throughout.
Good couple of days for Danish cycling.
Well that was another exciting stage. Talk about races within races.
That was some race... almost feel sorry for Pog, he looks broken..
got to ride up the alpe tomorrow!
wow
Could have G and Yates taken more time over Pogacar?
Still a good day for both.
Probably couldn't have taken more time without burning themselves ahead of tomorrow
the french are going to go crazy over bardet
that was mental.
Bardet in 2nd place on GC!
Couple more seconds for G and he'd have leapfrogged Pogacar as well.
Tomorrow is Bastille Day and Alpe d'Huez!
G had his famous win on Alpe d'Huez in 2018 so could do it again.

Did you see the stage profile? I amazed how anyone can attack on the last climb after that lot. Hopefully Pog is just paying for his youthful enthusiasm/wasted efforts in the first week and isn't Covidy. That would be a mighty shame. Great ride by JV and Ineos did what they could - playing the long game. Given Yates history, I think he's looking to peak in the 3rd week.
Back over the Galibier first thing tomorrow, then finishing up the Alpe. Wow.
Game on!
the french are going to go crazy over bardet
Me too, I backed him each way at 150/1 on the day he pulled out of the Giro. Allez Romain!!!!
WOW!

Col Du Granon, Yellow Jersey breaker!
Two appearances in the TDF and both times the Yellow Jersey wearer has lost it.
Let's get it back in again for next year.
I’ve never been a Quintana fan and actually I think he was always talked up more than he deserved but it is genuinely nice to see him finally having a good day.
That. Today's stage was a complete joy for lots of reasons
Proper racing!
Well I was at the Col du Granon in 1986 near the bottom of the climb as I was a bit late getting there so missed the sight of LeMond beating Hinault but a nice chilled afternoon on the sofa I've seen Pogacar being beaten by Vingegaard.
Being retired is great 😀
Pesky work getting in the way. I'll need to catch the hilights tonight. Bardet ascends as MvdP abandons, my dream team has had some highs and lows.... mostly lows.
2 to 7 is covered by less than 1 minute. Hopefully it encourages some attacks for tomorrow too.
That was amazing. Rescheduled all of tomorrows meetings to the morning in anticipation.
Crikey, didn’t see that happening
3 stages ago I said he was untouchable, and either best rider ive ever seen or on some special cocktail of pharmaceuticals
He’s clearly neither
Although I will also be unsurprised if he tests positive for Covid overnight. Hopefully not though, hopefully he’s just human and the tour will be far closer than I expected
<i>Didn’t see that coming, what a stage! Will watch the highlights in a bit to digest it all. Pog could / should learn from this but probably (possibly?!) too late for this tour. It may also make him more popular, public loves a champion who isn’t perfect and has to fight, plus he has a reputation amongst the peloton for being a decent human being</i>
