Tour de France 2023 ** SPOILERS **

TT is only 26k .....

Not sure where else there is the opportunity to claw back 10 seconds tbh.

Looking likely that it will come down to the TT now.

Three GC days left....there's always time 😁

I'm still hoping that he can do it.

What a treat to have two such fantastic riders at the top of their game at the same time.

Let's not forget the stage winner though - a brilliant result after all these years of waiting.

Agree they are stalemate - the TT is only stage where they are not side by side.

The two remaining mountain stages aren't MT finishes - so those look unlikely to yield a gap for either based on what we have seen so far.

Very close between GC.........

Stage 16, TT 24km hilly, Pog for the win.

Stage 17, Mountains 5000m long climbing, Vinegar for the win.

What do you think the time differences will be on those two stages?

Pogs wrist could be an issue on TT bars. Vin did beat Pog in last year's TT by 8 seconds dispute being in the yellow skinsuit.

I'm not convinced there's a lot in the TT to separate them....it will more than likely be stage 17 that decides it.
It's not over though !

Pogi will have had a TT bike on the turbo during his recovery,there's not been a single sign of weakness as far as I've seen.

A turbo is a bit different from the road surface vibrating through the TT bar

I take your point but he's not shown any signs of weakness from his injury.

Anyway I'm sure we'll find out Monday 😁
