Tour de France 2025 (CONTAINS SPOILERS!)

Given it's a rest day tomorrow, disappointed Vin didn't try to counter when Pog stopped his surge up final climb.

Very negative by Jonas.

I think he’s riding as if it’s the old Pog, when he’s got the new. Very little wasted energy during these first 10 days.

Adam Blythe talking absolute tosh in the studio, having talked absolute tosh for much of the stage. Thank heavens Mr Kelly is there to correct the young whippersnapper.

Good that Hannah Walker managed to find someone from exactly the same region of Ireland as Healy to have a chat with.

Campanaerts not shy to give an interview, always good to hear him.

I think the issue is that Vingegaard and Pogacar are both so far ahead of the rest that when they decide to turn it on, there's no one that can do anything at all. The guy with them at the end today was turning himself inside out and they were like they were riding to pick up some milk.

Not watched it yet, but I think Hannah Walker is really good with her roving reporter thing.

I'm imagining if they gave that gig to Adam Blythe he'd have a black eye in the studio the next day.

Maybe, but today they showed they could isolate Pog and then they got him to chase Jorgenson two or three times - which given that he let Remco go was quite interesting. Jonas also showed he could stay with Pog when he attacked - again. I don't think he was mucking about there, nobody else was close to holding his wheel. I'm not sure there was a great deal left for a counter by Jonas after that though.

It's difficult to know what else Vingegaard can do strategically other than try and wear him and his team down and hope there's a small crack in his armour in week three. The fact that Pog seems to be riding slightly more conservatively suggests it's not a completely crazy approach.

Yeah, she's excellent and seems well known / liked by the riders and teams. I actually think Blythe would be OK at that as I think he has quite a lot of old friends around. He does OK on the motorbike usually.

Dan Martin? Lenny Henry? Joe Lycett?

Decent rider herself and of course her Dad was very good. She’s really nice in person. Met her a couple of times. Knows her stuff.

Jens Voigt interview with Hannah was hilarious!

He's being super restrained

So zero achieved by anyone bar Healy and Yates.
Disappointing outcome.

And Pog who lost zero time to his main competition and will gain a proper rest day while out of Yellow.

PS - I really is quite entertaining reading through all this post race.
