Nice to see Alaphillipe in another futile breakaway!

TV pictures show both Pog and Vin were on the largest cassette but do we know if they were the same?

The captions shown at the start of each rider's TT displayed what their gear range was. I think Pog's cassette was 34-11 and Vingegaard was 33-10, but not 100% sure.

Apart from Stage 5. And the bonus seconds he has grabbed in sprint(s).

Meanwhile; is this a really boring Tour, or one with such incredible performances that they must be d*ping? Can someone please tell me which to believe?!?

It hasn't been boring because we all think (or thought) pog can jump out of the saddle and drop Vinnegard......

But once we realise that isn't happening - and just watch them ride over the mountains side by side .....it will get boring...

 

[Adam4868]

It's never boring....unless you're a Movistar fan.

Jumbo attacking early. Not defensive riding...

Didn't see the start - but they look pretty defensive right now...high pace but not moving ahead of the group.

 

[Adam4868]

Jumbo want to finish this today ! Full gas from the start.

Call it what you want - I don't see Vinnegard attacking Pogacar.....he doesn't need too...

 

[Adam4868]

Wouldn't put it past him to want the stage win.

I would ....he will just cycle with his team.

At least you get tears and drama...one of my favourite stages of the Giro was when the EF rider (think it was Cepeda) did him for a stage.Classic Pinot loads of arms flying about and moaning 🤣
