Jumbo with a MASSIVE win today it seems... It will be interesting to see if Teunissen can stay with them up the last hill.

Bennett takes over yellow tomorrow to La Planche and then a Kruijswijk GC win please. All deserves for Jumbo after saving us from Moscon in yellow... I was sadder and sadder as every team missed the time once I was told Moscon would be in yellow

15/08/22 - SotD said "Your [jandal's] humour is overrated"
11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."

I agree with the Kruijswijk GC win
But Bennett was chasing the breakaway yesterday on the flat so I doubt he has any personal ambitions this Tour

ASO says: We don't want strong teams having advantage.
Also ASO: Puts a 35.5 km and 26.5 km TTT for last 2 years to give the strongest teams even more of an advantage.
The fact that a GC contender loses time through no fault of his own, especially to some lesser TT riders just because his team is weaker than theirs, is pathetic.

Gracias Alberto.

I feel like Teunissen even in yellow is still being underestimated Tomorrow is perfect for him, and van Aert will help him and Kruisjijk for sure

Oh yes Bennett is 100% domestique, you can tell from all interviews of team and him. Just my wishful thinking that he somehow crosses the line before Kruijswijk in a situation WVA and Teunissen somehow get dropped by a lot, all of which is unlikely As YJ said I think Teunissen keeps it unless a team wants to shake things up (unlikely with the Vosges coming I suppose) and Jumbo have to turn focus to protecting Kruijswijk

I wouldn't call it perfect for him, but he's definately not without a shout of defending the jersey regardless!
I see Sagan, GVA, Colbrelli, Alaphilippe, Bettiol and Matthews as the most likely winners today - But from that group only Alaphilippe and Matthews are in actual striking distance for the yellow...

Final km is 8%. Surely thats too much for Teunissen. WVA or Alaphilippe FTW |

Interesting move from Wellens. I wouldn't have chosen that tactics to be honest, but Ohh well - I guess it will bring hin a KOM jersey.

I think he lacks explosiveness for the final, they'd be better off with Ewan imo.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

Ewan couldn't make it over the climb, interesting strat for sure, gonna be intense.
Also very nice to see the way Astana are handling themselves right now.
