Wout has gotta be rider of the year.. unreal.

Great stage yesterday. Today’s climbs will give a good indication who’s got it to take it all. Really looking forward to it. My money is on Roglič

 

[mexicohockey]

Feeling bad for Pinot....

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Pogaçar is super class

 

[mexicohockey]

Best Tour in quite some time. Still at least five men with a good shot at the GC. Pogacar was really impressive.

Such a bummer for Hirschi.. was really hoping he could hold on for the stage win after that insane effort.

I disagree. First stages where super boring.
I think Alps will be amazing though.

Some amazing stages, some not so amazing. It's been very good but I liked last years Vuelta more.

Pogacar is unreal, what a ridiculous talent. It's Roglic's race to lose though, can't see him being beaten with that team behind him.

Crazy finish today from Dani Martinez!

What a fun stage in general.. I’ve really enjoyed this tour.

Fascinating stage today. Bora did all that work but Sagan only gets 4th. That has to be very disappointing.

 

[MAHJ71]

Not gonna lie..

I’m enjoying watching Ineos fall.

They’ve hadn’t a disastrous tour. Nightmare.

How good is Pogacar?!

SunWeb was perfect they destroyed Bora to the point Sagan had to save the attacks himself until SKA delivered the final blow nobody could answer to

He’s a lot of fun to watch. And pretty much doing it with next to zero help from his team. Insane!

Good enough to win the Tour apparently.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Supertalent. What a prodigy

 

[MAHJ71]

This Tour... best in years.

Couldn’t say WOW enough yesterday.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

The bar is not high and I think the riders can give a much better show.
Yesterday's stage was amazing but Alps could have been so much better.

 

[Filppula]

Pogacar wow. Just WOW.

Insane.

Between him, Evenepoel, and Bernal (2019 TDF version), there are going to be some seriously good GT’s in the future.

Damn. Hopefully she makes a full recovery, such a talented cyclist with a bright future.

I would have loved to see Ewan vs this Demare dueling in the Giro' sprints.
