Great ride by O Connor, still taking time out of the peleton, hope he makes it to top for yellow.

Pogacar riding in a different race than everyone else.
The didn’t even appear to be trying at the end but grabbed 30secs.

I do wonder if we are watching the same race...or you are being deliberately being provocative.
We have just seen an another amazing ride by another up and coming youngster. Seemingly out of nowhere OConnor drops Higuita and minutes prior Quintana just falls by the wayside.
Yes, Pog may win at a canter but watching him use Ineos as a lead out was fun.
As previously discussed there is much to see and to see how it is done. Another example is Colbrelli. Can he challenge Cav for green? It will be fun to watch.
And if you are still disappointed you can always use the off button.
And Merlier out too. The sprint winning possibles are thinning out!

It’s unbelievable they didn’t make it. You’d think Demare would go for the win in Paris & Coquard would finish his home tour too. I wouldn’t be extending their contracts.

Not the best of days for the British riders with GT (19th) the highest placed and Luke Rowe (79th) the next highest.
81 Fred Wright
92 Mark Donovan
108 Connor Swift
115 Simon Yates
118 TGH
128 Froome
144 Dan McLay
160 Cav
Whilst understanding what you're saying, having followed the Tour for some 50 years (probably like many on here, maybe like yourself too), have watched Tours without a single British rider in it from the start. So, tbh, I would say fantastic, 10 British riders still in it ( i.e. All those that started) well done guys.
On the start line, placed us as joint 7th Nationality (with Aussies), one more than the cycling Powerhouse that is Italy.

Or, to put it another way: the green jersey wearer (and one of the leading stage winners of all time), four GT winners, and seven riders still in the running and capable of making history/winning a stage or two/just doing a good job for their teams.

At only 22 years of age, Pogacar could be the first rider to win more than 5 tours and take the record. His future is certainly bright. As a climber, he is head and shoulders above all the others. As a TT rider, he is pretty good too.

Do you think the guys who finished outside time limit did so because they couldn't be arsed?
