It's a worry after yesterday with the crowds on Alpe d'Huez!

Yep, the whole Peleton could be down before Paris! Serious worry for the main contenders.
Having said that, I won a club trophy (my only sporting achievement) for the most points accumulated during the year for our 22 mile 'Aussie Pursuits' training rides despite being one of the slowest riders (@matticus can vouch for this).
It was a very rainy season and I doggedly turned-up week after week in all weathers and collected everybody else's points....
You gotta be in it to win it!

Chapeau Foodie....you could of been a contender if only you hadn't had that last pint 😁

He would, but it would have also meant that Rog had his nose in the wind and it was better to let Rog, the marginally weaker climber and lower on GC, to go than Vinegar. but then also WVA may have dropped back to Rog (i tink he was further up the road at the time) or another GC contender might have wanted to chase down Rog to protect their own podium hopes and Pog could have benefitted.
The truth is hindsight is a wonderful thing! Pog thought he was strong enough to keep chasing, but may have got his feed or hydration a bit wrong.

couldn't agree more, absolutely unbelievable to me , the fact that he is riding a bike again is something special , but at that level

After a few Audax,I also gave that-up, though I like distance riding. Not being a fast rider, I found with Audax I could never accumulate enough time to stop for a pint. The routes were lovely and so were the pubs I had to pass....

Evil Ineos have clearly developed a new strain of Covid in their evil labs in a cavern underneath Mt Tiede and vaccinated their riders against it
Thomas successfully tested this strategy at the Tour de Suisse.
You read it here first.

To be fair to G he's in the form of his life.More than matched Pogi and Vingegaard yesterday.Fastest times up the Alpe d'Huez since 2006 and even more impressive after Weds stage ! I'd say he's even better than when he won the Tour....but I won't as I dont want to jinx him 😁

I don't think cycling past crowds is a massive risk - I doubt the viral load would be big and does it even count from so many different people ?
But sharing a car or a room with a covid sufferer and you are highly likely to get it.
Fingers crossed everyone remaining stays healthy.

Jacobsen in trouble. Peloton stops chasing.

He's not looking good at the back of the bunch. Will he make it to today's finish?
