Just been reading Hayter has a broken collarbone so looking like he will miss the chance of a tour debut.

He's had no luck

Laporte takes his second stage win ahead of Sam Bennet ! Bennet had a good enough lead out and was all over the place 😲

Bennet and Groenewegen both relegated for deviating on their sprint....fair enough I think.

WTF was Bennett up to?

WTF was Bennett up to?

Doesn't have the speed ? He went from one side of the road to the other....then still moved right over to the barriers !
Groenewegen was the shoulder barge surely...I don't see how he can really dispute that.

how many crashes today !!!

You'd think that Groenewegen would be a bit more circumspect...

Laporte has been amazing since joining Jumbo Visma.

Makes you wonder what they are feeding him, certainly didn't look that good at Cofidis.

Excuse my cynicism!

I know what you mean but I looked back at his results at Cofidis and they were pretty good and better than I remembered.

I also think that the training, nutrition and support is a massive step from Cofidis who are pretty low budget.

Think positive!

I'm not sure about that...was top points scorer for Cofidis in 2021.Not easy to take so many wins without the right team around you ?
"Christophe Laporte basked in the realisation of a dream after winning Gent-Wevelgem, but was under no illusions that his path to a first major Classic was heavily trampled by his Jumbo-Visma team, and red-carpeted by Wout van Aert."

I know ! It's frustrating sometimes,good in a way for the riders to be signed by one of the bigger teams.But frustrating for the smaller ones who can't keep hold 😁

It's time for Vingo to show us what he's got today....has to be favourite and take some time in this TT 😁
As much as the Dauphine is a training ride for some, he'll want to show he's ready for the Tour.
