Vingegaard: "Wout's not going anywhere" 😂

In case you're wondering, and/or it wasn't mentioned, the roads were 'whitened' on the route today to reduce the heat reflecting. Road temp was measured at over 50c, air temp at over 40. It was a hot one today.

Chapeau Pello Bilbao ! Classy stage to win that.

Thanks for that I did wonder watching the stage

 

[Shadow]

Yes, me too. Thanks for that.

If I ever meet Harry from Abergavenny I'll ring his neck!!!!

Wva may go home tomorrow that will change the dynamic!

Hot day gone to thier heads today!

 

[rich p]

Just seen Vingo interviewed that WVA ain't going home but that you never know when a pregnant woman will give birth!

Mixed messages?

Wout is probably pissed off that he hasn't won a stage and feels he's more than a super dom.

He defo looks grumpy to me!

Surely a strange decision to select WVA if his wife is expecting during TdF.

 

[Jameshow]

Was out running yesterday and was thinking is the tdf the hardest corporate sporting event in the world?
No one runs 20 marathons or triathlons or plays 20 football matches back to back?!

Three in a week and they are tired!!

Also the pace must be a cut above other races particularly national races like TofB etc.

What do you think?

It was always known though,would of been his choice aswell.Im sure I read before that the baby's due after the Tour but just in case he can go when required.Probally the reason why he's desperate to win a stage...I mean that was a waste of energy yesterday 😁

 

[Adam4868]

Philipsen the man to beat again today ? On a plus side there must be some tired sprinters legs out there after yesterday's stage.

There's a bloke in North Wales doing 102 ironman triathlon distances in 102 days. He finishes next Thursday I think?

Sean Conway. He's already swam around Britain so he's a bit hardcore.

Yeap that's pretty epic, like Mark Beaumont rtw ride at 240miles a day...

Surely 102 days is eclipsed by the "Tommy Godwin" 365days record? Multiple people have attemtped it, and finally 2 americans beat it more than 70 years after Tommy's 1939 ride. I imagine there is a loooooong Cyclechat thread somewhere :P

EDIT: 75,000 miles or more.
