"If Remco doesn't need me,I'll go for fourth place"
Landismo 😍

It would be nice if a loyal domestique like Landisimo could win sime other races through the year, like Adam Yates does.

The curse of Landa GC.....nooooo 😭

 

[Dogtrousers]

Class ride again by Remco...makes it even sweeter having the great Landa as your super domestique ! He could afford to go for it tomorrow without losing his third spot ? But said he'd rather save something for the final TT.

Insert "Why not do both" meme here.

Ben Healy finished in the grupetto, so he's either totally cooked or saving himself for tomorrow. Worth a punt?

66/1 I'm on it 😁

Pog rides like he's on an electric bike.

I'm sure he'll have his bad day tomorrow.

If Pog is serious about letting the break go today, then the scrap to get into it will be even more competitive than usual. Last chance for 11 teams to get a stage win.

Blimey, you've done your research!

It's the opening post of the thread🤣

Pog rides like he's on an electric bike.

Cynically, I was asking myself the same thing.

You'd think Visma will want to throw everything at this stage today for a win.... Jorgensen again ? Id like to see Almeida v Landa in a battle for fourth 😁

Landa would have to take a big chunk of time with the TT tomorrow but it would be good to see both in a breakaway, but I think we will have to wait for the Vuelta for that battle.

Some trivia from the TdF site

With a 15th stage win, Tadej Pogacar joins Freddy Maertens at the 12th spot of the all-time rankings for most victories in the Tour de France.

But if we look at successes claimed before the age of 26, the Slovenian cannibal joins Mark Cavendish and François Faber as the riders with most stage wins, 1 step ahead of Eddy Merckx (14) and 2 ahead of Bernard Hinault (13).

Aww man, I think I’ve just seen one of my favourite bits of the Tour on The Breakaway. Matt Stephens was doing a piece on the bike as to whether or not Cav would make yesterday’s cut off. Matt was cheering his friend on from the back of the moto and as they went round a corner, the crowd was chanting Cav’s name. Cut back to Matt, his voice breaking with emotion as he says, “they are shouting his name”

Matt Stephens and Mark Cavendish, probably my two favourite cyclists (although one is marginally better than the other lol)
