Two riders out with covid today, including Laengen from UAE. Guess there is still one major thing that could stop Pog.

Might be a tasty stage today if people are weak after the last few stages.

Tomorrow will be a disappointment.

Thought we’d get a 20 man break on this stage, instead we’ve got a 3 rider break and Jumbo pushing.

I thought O Connor or someone like him would have a go early to make it difficult.

Maybe too early in the tour though.

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Good job Jumbo on gifting pog 4 bonus seconds so wout could get another win.

Side note. On my way back from alpe d'huez after dropping off my car at the finish for tomorrow and I think I'm going to have a little cry.

I will take Jumbo trading off their GC chances against Wout stage wins all day over whatever Ineos are doing.

They brought a team designed for stage wins and instead they're trying to get 3rd place in GC with one of 3 options, all of which will fail.

Pog was already in yellow and it seems inconceivable that he loses it on the road. May as well let your superstar rider shine.

Ineos are gonna try and week 3 him and be all surprised when it turns out they can't actually make up 10 minutes by tempo-ing a few mountains and burning Majka.

This. Wout having fun and putting minimal pressure on pog for a few weeks is better than just watching pog ride a very boring ineos off his wheel.

Ineos should maybe start taking risks and attacking with their glut of top10 GC contenders at some point soon.

Their riders aren’t as good as Pog for sure, but 4 of them trading off attacks and at least making him think about something will help everyone.

Maybe/likely they’ll come in 3rd anyway, but maybe Pog’s remaining domestiques can be exposed and then we have 2 weeks of fun - especially if Wout starts riding as a domestique again.
