This is my first tour that I'm watching, but what on earth is wout van art doing? Like what's his role? He seems to both not be winning anything and also doesn't seem to be helping out his team much.

Imagine how much time Jonas would have just taken if Van Aert had been able to stay in the break and ride him home.

Good point. I think there was one like that last year, right? Where van aert was up ahead as the perfect springboard.

Pog's post race interview was great.

Interviewer: That's now 10 tdf stage wins for you. How does it feel?

Pog: Watch out Mark, I'm coming for you. No, no. I'm just kidding. It's a joke.

His sprint today was clean though, right? It was the other three times that he was all over the field.

Have we discussed the Italian man advertising Vittoria Corsa Pro tires, but really making fun of us for buying the same stupid bike poo poo the pros ride while being fat/slow?

Those commercials are painful to watch for some reason. I can't put my finger on why they're so cringy.

There's a reason pog gets the white jersey even though Vin is beating him overall.

Even if Vingegaard were eligible for the white jersey Pogi would still get to wear it tho. If you're in the lead for multiple jerseys, number two gets to wear the other one.

Wait, really? I did not know that. I assumed some guy could theoretically get all 4 jerseys if he was heads and shoulders about everyone else. I'd like to think he have to wear them all simultaneously though.

What a poo poo show of an event. I'm sure the Tour/Giro organizers love this because it makes them look great by comparison.

I don't understand how UAE won that. They just charged in out of nowhere and zipped to the win. Alpecin had the "perfect" setup going into the finish.

Didn't he use a dropper post that year to nail the descent? The dude was riding in the gutters.

I still cant work out what caused it. There looked like a really weird gutter that maybe they slipped on? Or was it wind causinga touch of wheels?

Looks like Tiesj Benoot is taking the blame for them touching wheels?

I still don't understand cycling tactics at all, but Uno X was leading the peloton for a good portion of the last 40k and I'm not sure why or what they hoped to accomplish. They did a good job catching the Alpecin breakaway rider for the rest of the teams I guess.

I did think "wow, look at this team with like 6 guys on the front. They're really going to dominate this race."

Then they were all gone at the start of the Mur de Huy.
