Tour de France 2022 with SPOILERS

[Adam4868]

Pogacar is so far ahead of everyone else ability wise that the GC is just not interesting, more successful breakaways the better for me.

Disagree...I think it's too early to call it yet.Maybe Roglic rides himself fit and can really put the pressure on in the mountains,even if it's for Vinegaard Dissapointed that Martinez seemed to blow up today,think he lost something like 15 mins but maybe if gives Ineos a option to attack.First week has been such a tough week,speed and racewise but there's some big long mountains to come and predictions of 40 degrees !
Forty seconds from Pog to Vinegaard is one bad day 😁

I'm also disappointed that Martinez blew up, G. Martin would have been up to 13th!

I was chatting about this the other day. I've probably watched more TdF’s (on tv) the I have left to watch, but I reckon that in my life there will be stages abandoned due to heat.

I reckon Pog will have the mountains in a heat wave thing in his tool box. He won’t get any mechanicals or even ever crash. He’s got all the talent & loads of luck besides as more pull out with Covid.

So ... tomorrow. A series of category 3 & 4 mountains with a summit finish at the top of a category 2. So therefore not much chance of making any dents in the GC, so a day for the break?

I therefore predict another frantic 1,2 of Pog and Vingegaard

Or, as there's an intermediate sprint at the base of the final climb, maybe Wout will just not brake after winning the sprint and freewheel up the hill to the win.

On the first few stages of the women's Giro they were riding in 38°C.

Getting bottles from the car, emptying over their head repeatedly.

I reckon Jumbo and Ineos work together today...whilst Pog is having a rest.Then Wout could go solo from 50k against the so called allegiances they've made to take the.....
Except Pog would miraculously turn up out of nowhere and take the stage.🙄

Big him up to much and you'll jinx him....I reckon there's plenty more to come in this Tour...it's not over !

I'm loving the Tour this year. What with WvA and Pog, it reminds me of the way Eddie Merckx used to carve up the race. Great attacking riding by both this year.

... and it is on the other side of a 1,000 m climb!

Andy Schleck goes on record as saying the other GC hopefuls should work together to break Pog , basically they have to risk losing the race to be in with a chance of winning rather than following wheels​

Shame, but Chapeux to him for finishing the stage when he was obviously very uncomfortable.

People used to say this about Sky and Froome.

No one ever did.
