Tour de France 2026 ***Spoilers***

[Pross]

Pidcock vs Mohoric battle off the top of the Ballon could be scary although I don't think it's particularly technical is it?

Thru need a sec per K.yo make the catch at the intermediate

If the potato-hunters don't make it to the lead group I'm going to laugh at the teams that didn't help and then got shafted*

*A small amount of sympathy for Uno-X as a few of their riders - inc. Jonas Abrahamsen I think - are pretty bashed up from recent crashes and they're Vikings, too

Just added the unspoken bit for you

Imagine the carnage there would have been on this stage, had there been a crosswind.

It's really fast

McNulty is going eat this stage

 

[Dogtrousers]

Watch Jasper win the sprint then get relegated to the back of the group

 

[No Ta Doctor]

Only Soudal-Quick-Step and Decathlon CMA-CGM aren't represented in either break.

Quickstep have bagged three stages so don't need to be too bothered with this woke nonsense.
Decathlon got a stage with Kooij, who isn't contesting the green jersey, and are now fully in Seixas-GC mode. They might have liked to have a man up ahead in case the GC race blows up (as both UAE and Visma have), but they're Decathlon, so 🤷‍♂️

Northern Danes as we call them here.

McNulty is going eat this stage

He'll have to get a bit closer to the front then - he's currently back in the potato group - not sure if he had a mech or what

Gap is coming down now. Think the front group may have .ost a bit of firepower, and the potato hunters giving it a last push

 

[mididoctors]

Lead group has a lot of Moto hrlp

Weird

Not looking good for mads

Doesn't feel like that many are working now the peloton has lost interest and they're leaving it to Alpecin who have most to gain in the short term.

Can't take your eyes off the timer
