Wout is insane. Not only did he get himself 2 stages and a jersey but he also was a huge teamplayer helping JV get the yellow in the alps and securing it yesterday, now on a day where he probably could have demanded that the team rides for him, he instead helps to setup laporte to get a French victory on this year's tour. Amazing effort
Yeah, it's also really nice to see him being genuinely happy for Laporte. I mean, Laporte also helped him win E3...
Lol, Chris Horner spent the first ten days or more bagging TJV and van aert for being too divided and for van aert being selfish/going for stages and green jersey. He even blamed wva for Roglic going down. The team really was divided in those dangerous early stages. It's certainly paid of for them with an insanely successful tour. Would have been different if they got a couple less stages and if vingegaard came second...
He said he felt his legs weren't too great during the middle of the stage thus said Laporte to take his chance. If his green jersey wasn't safe yet, he would have sprinted ofcourse.
@@JSBax was he the guy who said something about Van Aert "burning all his matches"? I mean, he wasn't the only one who basically said that...
@@JSBax I really don't get the whole "selfish" thing some people call riders. I highly doubt a single rider doesn't do what they're told. Obviously there are those like Sagan who most likely get told to do whatever cause that's their style, but there are not many guys like Sagan (who also has been incredibly anonymous this year)
Pogačar said in an interview with a smile on his face, after his mechanical, he was so upset and pumped with adrenaline that he just kept semi sprinting and almost escaped,
but then he saw WvA come to him and Wout said "no no".. xD
Hahahaha, I was wondering what he was telling him. Wow what a team! 😄🔥
It would have been a waist of energy anyway because WvA and Jonas are faster anyway!
Love pogi as a rider. Always attacking if he can and very rarely ride defensivly. Thats might have been what lost him the tour but i take that any day over froome defense and the skytrain
Froome was aggressive to be fair attacking with Sagan in crosswinds, on descents etc. It's just he was rarely ever put into a position where he had to, always had a minute advantage by the first rest day. Team sky was just more clinical whereas Pogacar always attacks which is more fun to watch.
Froome attacked from 80km out to win a Giro 3 from minutes behind. Let’s stop this nonsensical talking.
@@scott4868 one attack over how many seasons? Im not saying he never attacked but during his tdf domination he wasnt exactly known to lightup the stage.
Yes, he rides deeply unintelligently but you can’t blame Froome for not doing the same
The reason pog lost this tour was that he burned his team up in the stages before stage 11 chasing everything down, pog has zero chill. His or the ds aggression lost him this race.
Seeing Van Aert swerve Van Hooydonk on that high five made the stage for me 😂
Best move of the tour imho
Check his victory celebration at the cyclocross national championships this year ;)
Jumbo Visma got the best chemistry in the peloton. That celebration from Van Aert and Van Hooydonck shows how unselfish everyone is, and that they're genuinely happy Christophe got his chance. Now I get their moto: #samenwinnen
They've shown some footage in the finish zone when Kuss was congratulating Laporte too. One could see how happy Kuss was for him. Awesome team.
Ohm I thought a different thing when I red "chemistry"... 😜
pun intended? :)
Exactly. Some old school US Postal/Sky train analysts (Chris Horner specifically comes to mind) were complaining that Jumbo-Visma send too many riders in breaks and took too many risks, but it's just so much better for morale if everybody gets their chances and has the freedom to race when they feel well. I believe that in the end that gives better results and is also more sustainable than this very strict hierarchy and discipline.
@@MartijnterHaar Yeah fr. Talking about how green and yellow ambitions are clashing and Wout’s ego was a problem. Maybe on other teams it won’t work, but Jumbo-Visma just has a different mentality, they don’t let their ego get in the way of their team’s goals, and they’re incredibly unselfish.
This is my first timé getting into watching cycling. I just want to let you know how much I appreciate how you explain and break down each stage. It helps me understand and learn things I had no idea about. It’s super helpful. I seriously don’t understand why I didn’t get into cycling sooner. I can’t believe how enjoyable it is to watch. There are so many different stories to follow within this epic 21 Stage Tour.
You can count on Benji and Patrick to provide key elements of tactics. I've learned so much from them. They have quality content, and it's not just opinion-based. Plus their camaraderie is so fun. Glad they have increased your enjoyment of this sport. I totally get it!
If you haven't already check out Chris Horner's channel. Ex pro with excellent race breakdowns and commentary.
You are so lucky to start with such an epic tour. I also started watching races during Covid days and wish started to follow cycling earlier. But Tour 22 is exceptionally amazing.
Don't expect every bike race to be that good. The Tour de France is special and it was one of the best Tours I've ever seen and I've seen a couple of dozens.
You could say 'la porte' opened and he went right on through it
After (W)right said Fred (commentator Kirby said that)
LR / Patrick is just so amazing at analysing sprints and spotting the details that matter, like Philipsen loosing the wheel in the corner. Well done, like always!
Who's Patrick? I always thought it was just Lanterne that did these?
@@user-nh8kj2ph9f Patrick is Lanterne real name.
@@guidittabellini4388 Hold on! So you're telling me Lanterne Rouge isn't his real name?
@@beckobert seems like Patrick is his real name and Lanterne is just a nick name / street name.
@@user-nh8kj2ph9f 🤦
As a Slovenian, this TdF was the ultimate bittersweet experience. It was by far the most exiting, interesting and action-packed GT of the last few years, hell even of the last decade imo. What a great race to watch for neutral fans. It still sucks that Pogi lost though, but Jonas was better, fair game and well earned win. Can't wait for the future battles between Pogi and Jonas!
Wout is just craaaazy good on his bike - Van der Poel must have a tough time seeing how well Wout is doing. Thank you Belgium, from Denmark with love
They say that Van Aert is a whole team by himself. And he certainly is. But Pogacar is also at least half a team himself!
Wout is much better than Poga tbh. Literally nothing he can't do...
@@MicroageHD ranking world cyling pogacar 1
Wout is the absolute definition of all rounder.
@@zlatkaalessi5709 wout 2 yes but.. overall he is better even pogi himself said it
@@jonasvermijl7100 when did he say that?? he is not better then him on climbing stages and thats where it matters.
JUMBO has put on a clinic this entire tour. Just too good as a team. Wish pogacar had this much help 😂makes his second place even more impressive IMO.
Except stage five xd
Just like team postal and Armstrong...
@@benjibodhranboy Cry harder
Perfect.. win for Laporte.. happy to see France landing such a clever win that was well played by Jumbo Vista and LaPorte..
France needed a stagewin after they have spoiled us all with such a spectacular TdF.
very entertaining TdF and great entry with a start in Scandinavia where there were such a buzz..
Wout is the Terminator. 100% machine like commitment to the objective. Has huge respect for his team and sees them as equals. It really shows.
Vingegaard didn't actually lose time to Pogacar according to the official result. There were in the same group thanks to Bettiol crossing over from Vingegaards group.
Bettiol the double agent
there are bonus seconds for placement
@@Mgoblagulkablong no, there are only bonus seconds for the first three.
But it did help for a Jumbo Victory.. and a French stage winner
@@Christian_Bagger Indeed and the result was quite delicious. The French cycling press is pissed off at what they consider the poor results of French teams in what is 'their' national race and yesterday L'Équipe bashed Jumbo as this big bad bogeyman winning everything and then today JV answers by delivering a French winner.
Plus Laporte was with Cofidis for 13 years and then when he moved to JV (his first non-French team) he said that he could not believe the professionalism and just how hard he had to train and that none of the French teams were near that standard - all true but it annoyed the French press.
Van Aert heads out for Tadej "Pull over .... pull over... speed ticket coming up!!"
This reminds me of the start to the season. WvA and Laporte crushing everyone in E3 and Paris Nice. What a team.
Didnt they do it twice at Paris Nice? I think , Laporte, Roglic, WVA 1-2-3 and then Roglic, WVA, Rohan Dennis 1-2-3 a few days later?
only one guy deserves ''the Combativity'' and thats van Aert
I think the same think
Simmons or Geschke could also be contenders but I guess van Aert is the most likely one
Na guess they won't choose a Jersey winner if possible
Maybe bit definitely not more than swimmers or runners
@@fyrortv8104 not geschke
Laporte rides as a protected rider on confidis for years without many world tour wins, but now he has a Paris Nice and TDF stage as a JV donestique.

Cofidis is just a shit team lol
and the co-winner of E3 Saxo Bank 2022😋
yeah the best doping programme in pro cycling will do that
Jonas will wear yellow in Paris, but the amount of work guys like Wout Van Aert and Sepp Kuss put in to get him there… Wow!
To be honest Jonas would probably have won the yellow without a team. He is just stronger where it matters.
@@dannyjensen2123 Idk man. Both days when he put a bunch of time into Pogacar it was because his team attacked Pogacar all day or forced Tadej to attack early and Jonas was just there to land the killing blow at the end. I think head to head Pogi can beat anyone in the world except maybe Van Aert.
@@W4TSKY why do you think so? Jonas broke him on ventoux last year, hautacam and granon this year. To me this looks like a pattern where the only constants are Jonas and pogi.
@@dannyjensen2123 Yeah I agree with last year. But this year it wasn’t just Jonas and Pogi. Jonas had a ton of help on both Hautacam and Granon this year. I still think he’s the better climber than Pogi, but I don’t think he would have put in so much time on Pogi on either of those climbs if it weren’t for TJV. Remember it was WvA that dropped Pogi on Hautacam, not Jonas. And TJV were attacking all day on Granon (which Pogi had to react to bc he had no help) and Jonas was there to land the killing blow at the end when Pogi had nothing left in the tank.
@@W4TSKY He did. But he would have dropped pogi without help. He has been the strongest rider this year. If he had not been forced to help roglic last year he would have been very close to pogi there as well.
Such a great channel. Keep up the great work!
Can we all collectively agree WvA is the most exciting rider at the tour?
You never know what his strategy is. Covering moves, attacks like crazy. Somehow always has a camera on him. The dude is a menace and I’m totally here for it.
Thanks for the coverage
Thanks, Patrick. Great as always. Seriously good points here to ponder.
Mate, thanks for the great analysis - ive learned to appreciate these races in a new way due to your commentary
Spot-on observations, and commentary with your ususal smart and concise summary. Thank you. 🙏👏
Wout has to get the combat award, true Simmons has done well fighting out in the breakaways, but it feels like Wout has been attacking the whole bloody peleton, everyday, all the time! unbelievable.
agree. This guy has been on the attack forever. Flat stage, TT, mountain, hilly. WVA just attacks and sees what sticks
Absolutely love your video analysis.
Helps explain so much of the unknown strategy to people like me
thank you so much for this detailed explanation of how Laporte got into such a great position, hard to catch all of that when watching it live.
The most absolete stage in this years' TdF turned out to be another great day of bike racing! The only boring stage, for me, was the one to Aigle with the protests. And maybe those two sprint stages in Denmark, but the atmosphere compensated for that. For the rest nothing but thrilling stages, best Tour I've seen probably. And it ain't over yet.
You can really feel the speed of the race in today's photos. tHanks to the whole crew at Lanterne Rouge
What a finish! This race just keeps giving and giving. Unless you are a true blooded sprinter, of course.
To me the story this year is a team beats an individual. I think pogocar has a long career ahead of him, but not with UAE
I think the team plays a big big part in this, but Vingegaard's climbing level is insane. I don't think we've seen a better climbing level since the 2000s, to be honest with you.
He has a contract till 2027, he isn't going anywhere else.
Agree entirely - how many stages has it been Pogacar vs 3 or 4 JV riders. The obvious initial focus was vs Roglic, and as even before Roglic was "defeated" Vingegaard has taken time and defends superbly. Even Ineos are far stronger than UAE, which has left Pogacar exposed...
@@neilbathe7752 Yeah, I think he can try more tactics to beat Jonas instead of just full gassing every climb if he has teammates. McNulty and Bjerg gave it everything on one stage though, just Jonas held on.
Ridiculous and incredibly stupid thing to say…. If the team won then how come Geraint Thomas isn’t in yellow? His team is currently stronger than all the others…
Vingegaard won because he was the strongest. On stage 17 when Pogacars team was best he still couldn’t shake Vingegaard.
Incredible tour for jumbo, not only are they taking yellow but also green and polka dot Jerseys and now 5 stage wins. Crazy!
6:46 😆 Wout’s prank 😝
Very clever riding by Laporte and he had the legs. Well done.
What a season from Laporte. The Paris Nice 1-2-3 TTT breakaway was insane, but he's been nothing but phenomenal since coming to Jumbo.
Thanks LR. On stage 19 after a brutal Tour its clear the sprinters teams are a shadow of what they were on stage 2 (exhaustion, falls, covid, heat etc) but I believe they were caught napping by JV today.
They let WVA pace hard from 10km down to 3.6 km since he and the rest of JV had a perfectly legitimate reason to do so which was protect Jonas, and no doubt some of them would have been concerned that perhaps WVA himself would drop off Jonas at 3km and go on to contest the sprint himself and so they would have been watching him and been relieved when just before the 3km marker he peeled off and then they stopped watching TJV so entirely missing the fact that Laporte was still up at the pointy end of the chase and that he is a pretty good sprinter. They got owned big time. Must have been some hard words in a number of team buses afterward
Cav would've spotted that and either berated his team into not letting it happen in the first place or wheel surfed to counter it himself. Experience counts over youth sometimes, Lefevere...
@@ManWalksDogs I'm not sure about that. I think this was NOT a Tour for the pure sprinters and today showed that. Wilyness has shown itself to matter more than pure 300m sprint. I would have bet the field against Cavendish in every stage except perhaps Sunday's Champs Elysees stage.
@@coopaloopmex Nah, Cav has shown over the years that he's capable of getting over the Alps & Pyrenees and still perform. There has been two or three stages where I've thought Cav would have that. Sure, the rest would be gobbled up by WvA and those early sprints more hotly contested across the field. Every year people say it's not a tour for sprinters, but it's those days when the breakaway just about evades the catch where an experienced head would've changed how the run-in panned out. If I was Cav I'd be off before the years truly run out, cause Lefevere is clearly choosing his old compatriot's record over more success for his team.
i just noticed mohoric was in this year's tour
Sagan to o
@@alpd7638 Sagan had a couple top 5 finishes in the first week
Don't forget Degenkolb
Apparently Alexander Kristoff is also here somewhere.
good fashion call by WVA to go with the matching green shorts, easily the best-looking rider in the peloton.
great analysis of what happened. no other people saw that gap that opened up prior to the sprint. that's what happens when the sprinters teams don't have trains to close those gaps.
V good analysis and highlights
The 5 seconds that pogacar took was a mistake that has been fixed now. Vingegaard loses 0 seconds to Pogacar
Would you mind telling why it was a mistake, if you know why of course:)
@@srensndergaard2445 Doesn't actually seem to be a good reason as there was a split. But that's the commissaires for you. You never know what they are thinking.
@@grahamhoppstock-mattson2224 very odd. There were plenty of gaps. Question is, what is the lowest possible gap on a flat stage? Would they even consider 1 or 2 second gaps?
@@riquelmeone There is no reason they can't and they have before. It all depends on if they want to or not. I do not think this is often a very strict science tbh.
@@grahamhoppstock-mattson2224 Afaik, gaps are only counted as gaps when they are 3 seconds or more when sprinting from the same group, gaps of less than 3 seconds (like the 1 second gap between winner and the rest) is counted when the winner wasn't in the same group but ahead and wasn't caught.
I have to Say , that was just insane , so many roundabouts before within the last 3km , wow 🤩 🚴♀️
Signing of the season, Christophe Laporte.
His performance almost was to be expected, he has been very good at Cofidis. And now with Rabobank...
Fred Wright is fast becoming one of my favourite riders in the peloton
Hes been awesome , never heard of Fred Wright but he's been one of the best in this years tdf easy . Winder if he will be in a bigger team next year
(W)right says Fred (Kirby's comment when Fred made his final move yesterday)
Fans when tadej is winning: he is doping and not clean.
Fans when tadej is loosing: best TDF ever!
Yeah, this tour has had a very dark underbelly of cycling's colonial tendencies. If you ride for a non-European team it is suspicious. If you are from a non-central European country, suspicious. Even the tone from last year this year around the leader is ridiculous. Jonas has not once been questioned about doping despite having a massive step up in overall climbing level (we always knew to expect him to succeed in 40min climbs, but his overall level is way above what he has done previously). Yet no one has batted an eye about it despite seeing no evidence of this overall level until one climb at Dauphinae. I'm not saying it isn't real, it very well may be and I choose to have faith until more evidence suggests that we no longer should (I don't think very imperfect W/Kg graphs give us anywhere near definitive evidence and the science behind the limits of what is capable is not near definitive either). All to say, I just think it reveals some colonial and xenophobic attitudes in cycling that Jumbo and Jonas have gotten no criticism and praise whereas Tadej has been hounded his whole career despite simply performing at near the same level over an entire season year in-year out (a feature most dopers of the past have never replicated. Whereas, Jonas' pattern would fit more nicely. Again, I don't actually think anyone is doping because we just have nowhere near enough evidence to think so, but simply noting the selective bias going on at the moment.)
@@grahamhoppstock-mattson2224 Stop…. People literally start crying about doping at every single opportunity, doesn’t matter the rider. You having selective reading doesn’t change that.
@@frederikbrandt424 you're really on a fuss today. I don't think you've really been paying attention. Ask cycling journalists about the difference between how Tadej has been treated viz doping v Jonas this year. It's unsavoury. But hey, if you don't want to see you won't, so enjoy that.
@@grahamhoppstock-mattson2224 I HAVE been paying attention, which is why I see the doping allegations literally takes place anytime anyone does anything. You being a crybaby doesn’t make what you say true. You’re really out here spewing a bunch of garbage today.
@@frederikbrandt424 Lmao. Okay.
Seeing how happy Van Aert and Hooydonk were for Laporte was good vibes.
No one gives props to JV, DS, and all the great tactics he puts into plan on every stage. Also, JV Dr and team are absolutely on another level. The way all the team keeps on recovering with full gas tanks is absolutely amazing.
What a fantastic finish. It must have been a very hard day for many riders.
Laporte getting a very nice reward for all his hard work this year
w v a I did not see in my life a better runner. An outstanding
Fantastic as always! I was surprised to see Michael Matthews working at the front, somewhere around 5k to go, leading for Wout. There was really no need to burn him there, and I think the sprint suited Michael Matthews and he was the better option for today than anyone else for Team Bike Exchange - but chapeau LaPorte!! That finish was amazing.
Wasn't he trying to neutralize the breakaway for Groenewegen?
Nice to hear the return of Alpecin-Fenix and Deceuninck-Quick Step 😀
a very deserved win there for the jumbo domestic, who has indeed.... worked hard these past 2 weeks for his team and yes.......
a good win for the French home crowd who might well have been wondering if a french stage win would ever come this year, as we say in Britain "better late than never" well done
Still have to credit Philipsen for giving it a go imo. I know Laporte sat up, but he came from outer space to within a few bike lengths of the line, absolute demon.
wow, that analysis!
Laporte showing Sagan how Sagan used to get it done!
Never seen before the outright green jersey leading out gc for the final climb of the tour🤩🤩
Amazing how well built this team is.
Laporte played that perfectly! Chapeau!
At least TJV, they gave France something back, which I thought was a wonderful gesture!
I just noticed Bahrain Victorious existed
Will still be interesting to see Pogačar in tomorrow's ITT, he'll ride to continue to close that margin to Vingegaard, even knowing he can't make up the entire time difference.
Vingegaard can sign some autographs along the way, he can than puncture his wheel and still wear yellow at the Champs
@@woutermeijer2374 He could puncture twice, fall twice, walk across the finish line and still win the tour
@@woutermeijer2374 He could wear that ill-fitting TT helmet Roglic had the other year and still soft peddle the jersey over the line.
But yes, I'd like to see how many risks Pogacar will still take to eat into that gap.
Sensible move from ITV4, not starting their live feed until 3pm tomorrow, as there's fuck all else to look forward to now.
Well, I'm looking forward to Le Tour Femmes (Sun 24th - Sun 31st), especially the last stage up La Super Planche des Belles Filles...
...I said that last night, but sitting here now with the ITT on live and a beer in hand I'm hoping against hope that G quietly monsters it whilst Vingegaard doesn't take too many risks & Pogacar takes too many (not wishing I'll on him btw). That said Ganna's already monstered it...🍺
...for the stage victory obvs, not yellow! G deserves more than just a podium spot for being consistently the best of the rest.
Best Tour de France ever. Flat stages are just boring to watch
One has to be honest and agree that sprinters had it very tough this Tour. There were very few sprint stages and even today’s one had quite a bit of ups and downs and not a very sprinter friendly finale.
When I think back of the tours 20 or so years ago sprinters had around 10 stages.
I think ASO expected a certain Mr Cavendish to ride and therefore wanted to make it as hard as possible... Fair play though, one of the best TdF for years and well done TJV...
Remember that ASO invited Julian Alaphillipe to the Tour presentation at Christmas - I think they thought he could win quite a few stages on the 2022 tour.
Lanterne please talk about on-bike handshake technique. Absolutely shambolic display from wout and nathan. Teams need to start training their riders.
WVA has the best TDF performance since Eddy Merckx.
What are the odd that he wins the next two stages.
Wout van Aert is such a beast!
Laporte deserves this Victory, he's a machine as well, this TJV team is insane
A wise man checking behind before raising his arms in celebration.
Take notes, Alaphilippe...
WVA > MVDP
And don't let anyone forget it.
Jumbo is just insane. They threw their weight around this entire tour. Pogi and Co. need a better game plan next year.
Pretty sure jumbo visma will be happy with how the tour has gone.
Fifht win for Jumbo-Visma. Laporte🇫🇷
Finally a French on stage 19!
Something is rotten in France! 37 years
Since an overall Victory. Hoping
Gaudy is able to make the podium next
Year?! IT wont be Bardet. Something has
Gone wrong in the France bicycle school!
Shouldt not be possible to be beaten by
Denmark! Wva 3 win tomorrow or Vingegaard? 😜🔝❤️
Van Aert “the police officer”
Fred Wright was crazy strong in the last few km. If Stuyven hadn't closed him down he'd have had a chance.
You should cover the crashes caused by the motors
Question. Is Jumbo having the best TDF by a team ever?
well telecom did have two years where they pretty much destroyed the tdf.. but 3 jersies is impressive
@@martinsolden77 yeah, Riis and Ulrich as 1 and 2 in the GC and also having Erik Zabel win the green jersey... I think that is a hard feat to beat. Of course they have all admitted to using EPO (according to Zabel only once though) so that diminishes it somewhat.
2012 Team Sky went 1 and 2 on GC and won 6 stages including Paris, I would call that similarly dominant to Jumbo this year
@@benjaminfox-shapiro4032 The sky train had full control start to finish, i´d say they where right up there aswell
Jumbo,Sky,US Postal,Telekom and Banesto
I feel like if Sagan also would have pushed it at 1.4 to go and gambled, that Sagan would have easily out Laporte'ed Christophe to the win, but Sagan isn't as wily as he has been in years past.
This was a perfect storm, but others could have read the situation and done exactly what Laporte did, perhaps even better. But Laporte gambled correctly, and won the kitty. Well done TJV, the tactics all Tour have been 100%
Wout and Pogačar are the most interesting riders.
Fred wright should get some handsome contract offers
Yeh , I've never heard of Fred Wright to my shame and he has been excellent . He could walk into anyway, uae tjv and ineos ! Really great guy too , he's just loving racing
Wout is currently the best rider in the world! What a rider!
🔥💛
El patrón del pelotón es el mejor el gran WVA
Van Aert taking doping to new levels
Quick Step and Bora never showed at this TDF
Jumbo Visma is soooo strong!
Vive Laporte........... Vive le Tour!!!
LR can you fund out how much Jonas is making? Will Jumbo reward him with a new contract? he is probably making the least on the team.
Aftre he came 2nd last year his contract got upgraded and he, Roglic and WVA are all on the top flight
Tadej vječno xx
Stuyven gotta be pacing and leading out for another team all the time lol
Because of a rider in between Pogacar's bunch and Vingegaard the 5 seconds Pogacar gain was erased.
Jumbo Visma is too much for Pogacar to overcome.
Yes, and take the difference in the strengh of the team also in consideration, that played also a big part in the outcome of the result.
What I don't get is that both Arkea and BikeExchange got 2 man in the top 10 of the stage but at one point nobody wanted to sacrifice himself to bring back the other on the front 3/4. My question is what was Mezgec doing? As for Arkea, Hofstetter or Capiot should have done the work but maybe were they all too far when Philipsen lost the wheel of his leadout.. Also how come Bodnar didn't wait for Sagan to get his wheel back, we can see him watching behind and then continuing to leadout for Laporte, Bodnar looked super strong and I feel like Sagan was too before he blew himself trying to bridge up and Bodnar bottle it bigtime. Philipsen losing the wheel and Bodnar continuing his leadout is the real key moment there. Laporte was super strong tho.
every TDF looks like a suffer fest, but this one just looked especially hard. Some real diesel gas from Jumbo.
It looks as though the riders in the break, leading out for Laporte, were submitting their resumes to Team Jumbo-Visma.
Maybe Tadej would even try to attack like Vinokurov on the Champs-Lysees... Who knows?
What do you think - who is the biggest "medically engineered" mutant of them? Pogacar, Wout or Vinegaard?
I somwhow doubt this will be the last attack. Watch him Vinokourov it in Paris.
I literally was thinking the same thing today when he went.
Can they still attack in Paris for the yellow jersey? I thought in previous editions the riders were already drinking Champagne during the last stage celebrating their Tour victory, so it would be weird if you still can lose the yellow jersey after celebrating it lol.
@@apolicum They technically can, there's no rule against it, but nobody does and Pog won't either. I just meant he'd attack the peleton before the finish and try to snatch the stage win from the (poor poor...) sprinters again. Yellow is settled unless V pulls an epic clown show on the TT.
