Who would’ve thunk Ben O’Conner taking the jersey on a break away.
Hope he can hold it and maybe be competitive. He always seems to have bad days. |

He looked good staying w/ the leaders yesterday but that breakaway effort must have burnt a match or two.

Compared to the team that dominated last year, Visma isn't making much of an impact. Halfway up the 2nd climb, Kuss has no team left. Must be disappointing to be the defending champion and your strongest teammate is chasing stage wins.

Of their two strongest riders last year, one isn't racing and the other is racing for a different team.

Also fair to point out that no one expects giant WvA to be dragging Sepp up 17% pitches. Visma has had a tough year. The riders that should be domestiquing for Sepp are all hurt or spent or at the end of their careers.

Who else had an AG2R shorts moment when Mas nearly bought it on the descent today?

He did some straight up fighter pilot stuff saving that.

he knew well before this started. I dont think he's disappointed in his team.

Me for sure, he is VERY lucky, if he would have crashed it might have been very bad.

Yeah, Mas. Bloody hell, that was scary.

But it is what it is. He needs to either Cavendish his way to the podium (freelancing on other teams' climb-trains) - or just accept it's an off year, enjoy the ride, maybe stage hunt - and get back at it in 2025.

What a ride by Yates. He must be taking lessons from Pogacar.
The way I see it 5 riders are now in contention to win the GC: Roglic Yates Mas O'conner Carapaz This could be more fun than the TDF. I don't think this is the year for Kuss. |
