  • Today marks the final mountain stage of the race and the final opportunity for the climbers to gain time ahead of the final TT. Despite only a few appearances, the climb of Hautacam has achieved a legendary status due to the performances of Bjarne Riis and Vincenzo Nibali. Who will add to its legacy today?

For some reason I feel that Pogi would NOT have done what he did today. Something tells me Pogi would have continued descending at speed. I could be wrong but we will never know. I'm old school and believe in the old school ways and you should not attack on a mechanical or a crash BUT part of me also feels like if you crash on a descent on YOUR OWN it is YOUR OWN fault therefore it is OK to continue at speed. I'm honestly a bit torn about this one but I'm just not sure Pogi would have done the same. I feel he would have continued descending at speed.

    Amazing display of sportsmanship and respect to allow Pogacar to catch up and resume his position after a spill. Vingegaard could have picked up at least another minute if he had continue to ride. At the end Vingegaard wants to win as a gentleman instead of taking advantage of some misfortune... If the world could follow such gentlemanly, respectful sportsmanship -then the world would be in a more peaceful coexistence.. Maybe politicians could take note of how Vingegaard Danish value on humility, fairness, respect, honor could rule humanity. Fabulous example for youngsters to follow suit

      What a very impressive show of sportsmanship and respect on behalf of Vingegaard today!!! A TRUE champion and gentleman!! For some reason I feel that Pogi would NOT have done what he did today. Something tells me Pogi would have continued descending at speed. I could be wrong but we will never know. I'm old school and believe in the old school ways and you should not attack on a mechanical or a crash BUT part of me also feels like if you crash on a descent on YOUR OWN it is YOUR OWN fault therefore it is OK to continue at speed.
