With Tadej's form someone like Sepp Kuss could help him limit the damage but he'd still be losing the tour in the TTs.It was so far to go to burn up Jorgensen. They just don't have the team here.
They've had a lot more ad breaks this year, but many of them have been very short. Some have contained only a single ad, lasting just 30 seconds.Had our quota of ad breaks surely
It's over. Tadej has dominated all 3 high mountain stages, 2 in the Pyrenees, plus the ride over the Galibier on Stage 3. The only time Jonas has looked like matching him was when he went hunger flat after the Puy Mary.I think Tadej wins but I'm not convinced it's over. Or maybe hoping because I want an exciting third week.
Yeah. If he had Roglic or Evenepoel like injuries that allowed him the Dauphine it's be different.It's over. Tadej has dominated all 3 high mountain stages, 2 in the Pyrenees, plus the ride over the Galibier on Stage 3. The only time Jonas has looked like matching him was when he went hunger flat after the Puy Mary.
Jonas hadn't ridden a single race between the Tour of the Basque Country (in March) and the Tour (in June), and his lack of match fitness is showing. He's still the 2nd best climber in the world, but Pog has clearly got the better of him despite having ridden the Giro in May.
Jonas is riding well... Tadej is off the planet. To be fair, Jonas would be off the planet too, if he didn't get severely injured back in April.Jonas' form isn't that bad. Without seeing actual power numbers we are seeing some of the best performances cycling has ever seen given the times they are producing. Factoring in the development of equipment, training and nutrition, this is about as good as anyone can produce based on the Ferrari model of clean human performance.
Nearly 4 mins quicker. Even Remco beat the pirate's time. Landa was only 10 seconds off. Need more weather data but I'd say air pressure was very favourable. Jonas has apparently said the power estimations are pretty close to what he was doing.So Pog's ascent on the Plateau was 2 mins quicker than Marco Pantani's in 1998, maintaining 6.98 W/kg for just under 40 mins, better than the infamous Bjarne Riis on Hautacam in 1996.
"Off the planet" indeed.
Girmay to win GreenIt'll be interesting how many of the sprinters continue after today.
Coqard because Cofidis need the UCI points he should get for placing in the Green Jersey competitionGirmay to win Green
Philipsen in case Girmay doesn't finish the race
Cav because it is not like he has another race to prepare for
De Lie for the experience of finishing a Grand Tour, and try and help him win a future stage in Rome, Paris or Madrid
Was he only on for a bit? I only watch the last 30 mins of these stagesPeter Siddle commentating is awesome. Great cricketer and bloke
