    So nice to see them go head to head… Glad for the race that they taking turns in pulling ahead and gaining time on the other.

    Amazing TdF so far. Great to see Pog and Ving trading blows like this. Van Aert is a monster.

    Jai, noooooo!

    TJV is just so dominant right now. Very different tactics to Sky in its heyday, but same results.

      It was so incredible to see them tear the peloton apart in mere seconds. They are now 2 minutes from the breakaway (where only four remain it seems due to van Aert’s speed)

      This is starting to look like a stage win for Jonas and yellow.

      And as I typed this, Jonas leapt away 😊

    Tourmalet day! So looking forward to this!

    I expect a winner coming from a breakaway, and then an exciting battle between the the top ten contenders.

    Still so happy for Jai! One of my faves in the peloton.

    Interesting group up front, hopefully Johannessen can take the stage, would be a big win for Uno-x

    As I am watching this stage I am curious why WVA and JV do not both swing left and have the group move up to do some of the work. I saw that JV tried it but everyone followed him, and I understand the reason they did. Wouldn’t it be beneficial for them both to drop to the back of the group to save energy or is that one of the unspoken rules, if you have a team you do the work

    Edit: right now u have about 9k left in race and this has been great.

    Can’t believe I fell asleep before the final climb last night. Late tour nights definitely take it out of me!

    Just caught up. Pogi played the game right today. Tour not over! WvA almost needed to be stretchered up the hill he went so deep, great teamwork and performance from him.

    This has been an epic TdF, and it’s only week 1!
