Great few weeks of racing. Can't wait for Giro and Vuelta. Bummed that Mads couldn't really wear the rainbow jersey much this year.

A bit odd to characterize TdF as a French national race, at least for quite a while. And if a French guy hasn’t won it in a long time, there’s been a few years since when *nobody* has won it.
As for the WC today, I wonder what folks thought of Roglic at the end? Pogacar emptied his tank for him and at the end he could have helped WvA, not teammates today but are on JV.
And yeah Loulou was great today

If WVA doesn't hold Roglic accountable for not giving more, I don't think we can.

World Champs are weird races. Sometimes the trade team/friend alliances matter, sometimes they don't. Guess this was a case where it didn't.

So cool to see Tayler Wiles charging for the US in the women's road race. She is a local and I see her out on the road every once in a while.

Panache, hell yes.
Great ride and a great result.

I will agree that Roglic doesn't have to help WvA but at the same time, as much as Wout has just put it all out for Roglic over the last 3 weeks I was a bit Surprised that Roglic didn't at least take an extra pull or two.

Sometimes I wonder where the hell you guys been getting your information from or are we even watching the same race?

I saw Roglic took his turns in the pull to try and catch Allap.

Wout said in the post-race interview that he believed his team mate (Roglic) was already at his limit in the final kms and did everything he possibly could but ultimately, in the end, what really happened was the strongest rider of the day won.

Yeah, same. If you see pictures of him on the climb and after, he looked cracked, like worse than anything I saw at the TdF except the TT.

And as Alaphilippe attacked, WVA ... sat down.

End of controversy.

WvA just didn't have it when the move came. It's convenient for the Belgium cycling ecosystem to look for a scapegoat, and Roglic will do nicely. They're aghast that the Dutch took two golds.

The Dutch also hold the elite CX jerseys ... I hadn't thought of how that might feel for Belgian fans.
