Tour De France 2024 - chasing yellow

[hash tag]

Everybody appears to be hoping for No. 35 for Cav today.
So far and not unexpectedly, it all seems very relaxed today.

I can’t find anywhere on TdF website ( I haven’t downloaded the app) the usual timings sheet showing likely times at climbs/finish…. Any links welcome. Or when should I turn on to watch last 5 minutes of this sprint stage?

I was in Turin for their Giro stage this year but completely different entrance to the city for this race with very long straight ( and fast) run in.

Did Pog and Vin ease off when they realised neither was going to gain time on the other? That's the only way I could see Remco pulling them back like that.

Remco is a TT beast.

If you goto route/ stages click on the clock icon amongst the other icons. Harder to find at the bottom if the stage is live.

Sorry for Cav but great result.... New world class sprinter on the block.

 

[weepiper]

That's a pleasing result.

Brilliant stuff. Great win and lovely interview full of emotion. Nice to see Cav switching his boring interview to focus on his great win, too.

Girmay really showed what he's made of. It was a convincing win amongst a difficult bunch fighting for position.

Who were they meant to be leading out? Haven’t watched it back but I think they said he had other team members with him but that he wasn’t the main sprinter

It's a great looking day today as they head for the Galibier.

Pog coming off the Galibier is scary; he is flying down it.

 

[rubbershoes]

OMG etc

Ah well, Le Tour 2024 was interesting for 3 days.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

That was a complete demolition. UAE on that climb were ridiculous.

Not over yet, there’s a long way to go yet, but… wow. 45 second lead after 4 stages is pretty ominous for everyone else.

It's not over till the thin man cries

(or something like that)

It's nothing if Vingo rides himself into 2023 form.
Pleased with Remco so far.

Indeed. But it was definitely first blow to Pog. Remco is racing for third.

It's over for Carapaz, Pidcock and others. Roglic's team just can't compete with UAE and mostly likely Jonas will be hanging on by himself without Kuss.
Last year the Jumbo Visma team could put pressure on Pogacar on certain key stages. Can they do it this year?

Hard to disagree. Pog and UAE too good.

I'm surprised BORA were so weak and also surprised they never bothered to bring young Lipowitz. No complaint though as I like to see Roglic wheelsuck to defeat.

Pog nearly came a cropper at 60k. He was the first to clip street furniture then barged in to a few others some of which came down.

 

[hash tag]

YES. 35.

 

[Ted Striker]

Amazing!

 

[1927]

Amazing!

In tears here.

 

[Cid]

Well there is no denying that one. Just straight up against Phillipsen. Legendary.

 

[hash tag]

Congrats to Cav. Brilliant. What a day.

 

[hash tag]

Renshaw "tomorrow suits him more"
163k and pan flat.

 

[Hollis]

Woo hoo!! I have just embarrassed myself in the office.

 

[pbsmooth]

Amazing bunny hop during the sprint finish too

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Fucking hell. History.
