The grass run-out after the drop looks much steeper from that angle than the broadcast cameras made it look. That course ruled.

Yeah, those riders are incredible, and Pidcock especially is so smooth it looked like a monotonous easy singletrack loop from the TV coverage. Better camera placement would’ve helped a lot.

Newbie question after reading some of the olympic thread posts. I remember there was a stage at the end of the first week of the Tour where Wout van Aert lost like 20 minutes in the GC. Would he have maybe done that on purpose to get some freedom to win stages or was it just a bad day?

I think that was a bad day but he'd have lost a few minutes, realised any hope of GC was over and then soft pedaled till the grupetto caught up with him in order to be given that freedom.

I don't think even if didn't lose much time that people would take his GC chances seriously. Everyone would not be bothered by him striking out for stage wins mid-tour even if he was still close to the top of the GC rankings. Even with him being able to snipe a climbing stage, he just hasn't shown the ability to stay in it over multiple days' hard climbs.

Wout Van Aert can stay with the worlds best climbers over one or two tough climbs because of the pure power he can put out, but that is totally unsustainable in the big mountains against the true GC riders. He was hanging on in that stage to try and get over the top but once he'd been dropped there was no point him trying to catch back up.

Yeah once he was out of the lead group he was straight up just chilling and having a rest. No more complicated than that really!

They put the ramp back in, the one that Van Der Poel thought would be there! Do they think the women can’t do drops? It really looked like a very different course compared to the men’s race due to weather, looked slightly ridiculous having more than half the field have to get off and push on the first lap.

They only added the ramp because if the weather. The original plan was to have the course exactly the same as what the men raced.

I missed it, but looking at the results now. Didn't realize Roglic really put a hurtin' on everyone else. Wondering what kind of time Pogacar would have put up.

I've fallen down a rabbit hole of watching old cycling videos on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nLxAKwtBb4 At 4:55 they stop in the middle of a stage to go and raid a roadside cafe for red wine, beers and champagne to drink as they ride. I knew things were different back then but jesus. Also at 10:40 they're talking about how doping blights the Tour, though it's riders who abandon that fall under suspicion for some reason.

No, he crossed the actual line and kept going nearly to the marshals. It was way past where everyone else stopped.
