Tour de France 2023 ** SPOILERS **

I doubt Jumbo Visma will let Jai Hindley take advantage of their tactics again..............

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Cracking race that today, managed to start watching it just as Vinnie attacked Pogo.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Oh, how... Galling!

 

[Beebo]

Some big gaps already.

Pojagar gave a very unconvincing interview after today's stage.

What happened to mads pedderson ? Doesn't seem any where in sprints ? Giro fatigue ?

 

[Dogtrousers]

Jakobsen made the time cut. Chapeau

His bike yesterday though 😱:

Bit of Mr Sheen and that will polish out, though chain is a bit slack.

If that is what happened to his carbon fibre bike, imagine what that Submersible must be like!

Pog was clearly a bit shell-shocked. Given he said he 'felt good' and that Vinegaard was just better, it doesn't bode well for his remaining challenge this year. Pog has to find something truly special now - which, he might. Or, Jumbo Visma could end his challenge tomorrow....

Mads is doing ok I think - I've never seen him as being as fast as the super-sprinters like Jasper, Fabio, Cav etc

This could all be over by stage 5.
The gap is 53 seconds already.

Just a pity Lafay fizzled out today though, I was quite pleased for the Cofedis stage win a few days ago.

Don't count your chickens goats. Thibaut is a mere 2 minutes down. Waiting to pounce.

Thibaut and Tadej are losing time deliberately and going stage hunting later... 😉

It's a sad looking GC.
Lots of jeopardy gone out of the race unless something spectacularly goes wrong with Vingo .
Pog will keep trying but nobody else is even close to him. Hindley, Yates x 2, Landisimo, O'connor etc will be blown away
