Ronde

Hard pace from the start, still no break.

Ok, the last 10km were anticlimactic but what a race. What a rider.

Just ridiculous really.

Just home from work and really enjoying the last few km of the women's TDF. Thinking about the women's tour of Britain when seeing the huge crowds at this race.

It’s my daughters birthday, I need to find a way to discreetly watch on my phone

Just finished (had it recorded). Very exciting. All the thrills and spills. A well deserved win - she was doing all the work towards the end there.

Two bad crashes within seconds of each other, one on pave the other on tarmac. Off to work very soon

Are there any free to air highlights anywhere tonight does anyone know?

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Bad time for a puncture

Karma after he attacked when Degenkolb's crash affected the group.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Gutted for John D.

Just got back to air bnb after watching P-R at carrefour! What a bonkers day. Absolutely the maddest most difficult thing I’ve ever tried to photograph. Will try and post my experiences in the week.

Love this image from Sunday's PR. All the chaos, all the pain.....

 

[twistedAM]

Jeez, Pogacar killed Amstel and big congrats to Ben Healy on beating Pidcock (kinda shows how weak the Strade field was).
Anyway LBL showdown between Pog and Remco on Sunday. If one person can stop this insane run of wins it's Remco but Pogacar looks unstoppable right now.

pogacar wins again. he's smashing it.

It would be nice to see some sort of decent battle between the two of them, but Pog really does seem to be on an entirely different level to everyone else right now.

Sure, but he may suffer from being the favourite. Without clever tactics he may well prevail. He also may not be too bothered winning given all his other recent wins.

His main tactic seems to be “ride faster than anyone else uphill”.

It’s pretty effective so far this season

Shame we didn’t get to see Pog vs Remco. Was all a bit dull and predictable in the end.

 

[twistedAM]

Damn shame about the crash so we didn't get the big showdown but Remco's win has provided me with free lunch for a week.

Agreed although Stefan Küng ending up in a hedge was amusing. You could only see his feet.

Just watching the highlights, which is crap these days. They don't show the highlights nor any introduction to the day. They just showed the last 30 odd K. Nothing else what so ever. They have only just about mentioned pogs crash. I see he has a broken wrist BTW.
