Re Fred Wright yesterday. This from the TdF site
Wright’s tough, long battle
Struggling with physical issues yesterday, Fred Wright found himself alone at the back after only 29km on Stage 11. The British champion still had 182km to go and he never gave up, but it was too much for him to make it inside the time-cut of 53’13’’. As Jonas Vingegaard crossed the line, Wright was still 31.4 kilometres away. He needed to average 35.4km/h over that stretch to survive but he eventually finished 8 minutes too late

I reckon it was something like
Pog...."WTF"
Vingo...."you come at the king you best not miss"

Exactly. Tadej wants to win the race, not the stage. Maybe he's finally learned how. Save a little energy, show a bit of generosity, keep Jonas at the finish longer, keep a bullet for another day.
8 seconds rarely matters.
I saw the interview with him. Certainly a character. Still riding up the Ventoux for fun. Surely he can see from the top that the Earth is not flat.😁

Sounds unlikely though, him being so impulsive.

I see Pog gets the combativity award for yesterday. That's fair enough, he was the most combative rider. But all the same it feels a bit rough on the likes of Abrahamsen who animated the race early on. After all Pogi doesn't need a red number on his yellow jumper.

Anyone’s excited about today’s stage?
No, didn’t think so.
Except I am willing to bet Abrahamssen will make beaucoup efforts to get in the break to hoover up the 3 mountain points to take back ‘his’ polka dot jumper. Or at least share it with the current wearer.

I am.
Bini needs to defend green. It's still possible for Jasper the Disaster (peloton's #1 baddie) to take it off him.

OK, glad someone is. Maybe I should have phrased it better - if anyone is interested on the whole stage?
Understood that Intermediate Sprint and finish might be important, but the rest?
I shall go back to work.
