Tour de France 2026 ***Spoilers***

I see the break are being given a massive 1.30" again today

The usual breakaway teams should just put their foot down and refuse to send anyone up the road. Didn't that happen on a stage last year? It will ultimately make it harder for the sprint teams to control a bunch of attacks from fresh riders towards the end.

The commentary is quite embarrassing. No way a full peloton can’t take back the break.
It’s only 2 seconds per kilometre.

It's the usual bigging up the stage thing they do these days. They don't seem to realise that a 20" gap or more can disappear easily in the final km when the proper leadouts start and the front riders are tiring. The one a few days ago where he was caught just inside 2km was a classic case.

Race is running out of road guys

Probably ready for a 'swallow his pride' thread.

I wonder if te reason he doesn't have one already is people aren't sure whether he actually has any?

Anyway, if anyone can track down IainF then it should probably be his honour to start one

Not bad for a guy that had his hand all bandaged up from yesterday's crash! Well played Søren Wærenskjold

Fastest Tour road stage ever apparently

Magnus Cort on Søren Wærenskjold to DK TV2:
"He came a bit from behind, I like that .... he found a little hole Even though he's a big man he comes through some small openings"
