25 April 2019, stage 4 of the Tour of the Alps: it's the last time Chris Froome made the top 5 of a pro bike (5th)
ahh quintana dropped!
Why did they tell him off?
Apparently he was in the new latest model for two stages as they'd said they didn't want to see him in the old ones
Pidcock definitely the ride of the day and would deserve the win more than anyone. Looking good so far.
JV back on it, but I doubt they'll head the stage now
Can’t bear to watch!!
Pog looking good also in the wheel of Vingegaard.
Sensational, now we just need GC to kick off.
bardet looking dodgy ......... looking like a good day for ineos
Yates gone, hardly anyone left in the gc group
Pog attacks
Pogs off!
Starting to show some pain now... nail biting
G doing his normal ride and not trying to stay with the full power attacks
Geraint "the king of tempo", wise head..
Keep the cameras on the yellow jersey, less stressful!
Pog again. Great GC show!
Come on pidders, absolutely awesome
GET IN!!
Flipping brilliant
Get in there Pidders!!
Pidcock won't get in anymore breakaways now
Well done Pidcock!
Excellent!!!
youngest Alpe d'Huez winner
Amazing
youngest Alpe d’Huez winner
Along with being CX world champ and MTB olympic champ, not bad for 22!
Glad Froome hung in there too.
No Superman, useless git 😄😄😄
Awesome!
Now awaiting interview about balls.
Is someone going to tell Lizzie how to pronounce Pogacar? 🙂
If Nino Schurter and Mathias Flückiger were watching I bet they hope Pidcock sticks to the road.
I think she might bother learning to pronounce somebody else's name once people start to pronounce her's right.
Best win of his life (so far)
I posted a few days ago that ineos would be lucky to get a podium and pidcock would do well to get top 10. Errr, stand corrected, both look quite likely now!
Inspirational ride from Froome
Honourable mention for Meintjes too, wasn't that long ago people were questioning the inclusion of Intermarchy at races. Done not too bad this year.
Not bad for an mtber
I'm hoping there are some mad breakaways tomorrow from lower placed riders.
Well that was a FANTASTIC race, not highlights for us, we watched the whole race replay. Chuffed for Pidders of course (that descending was sublime), but beyond pleased to see Chris Froome back up at the top. A genuine pleasure to see him do well
I suppose he's ok
(Me at the top. I'd obviously have taken a few seconds out of him today also)

And MVDP and Van Aert. Any of them could do a full season of MTB XC and win it but that is not where the money or the career/legacy is.

The problem is she learnt off Sean Kelly

2 of the best consecutive days racing I can remember.
I was really emotional after watching Pidock and Froome. All these youngsters riding alone with the old timers and all getting great results.
Pidcock's mtbiking skills really showed on those descents - 105kph Wow!

Really? was there a rock garden or series of berms I missed? 😉
I think when a world champion cyclo-crosser displays some ability going around corners on drop bars and skinny tyres there's possibly a more obvious explanation...
