2026 TOUR De France

Couldn’t find one anywhere, so here it is! :slightly_smiling_face:

The finish of the 2nd Stage was with how well Pog and Del Toro rode and the sheer overwhelming joy shown by Del Toro 1st and Pog was so good to observe. Yes Pog could have won it but he gained some serious Karma points with how he rode, in allowing Del Toro the win. :clap:

As far as Remco Evenepoel goes, he was full of excuses again, just like yesterday! :roll_eyes:

Jonas Vingegaard, well I’m undecided about him yet but he didn’t seem to have the legs to overtake Pog or Del Toro. :thinking:

Paul Seixas, well he had two mishaps that required chasing back on so no judgement can be made on his effort.

Pog and Del Toro made that look easy. If that’s their form, Jonas may be in trouble if they do 1-2 attacks

Yeah, Jonas is in the form of his life but unfortunately Pogi is just next level.

Kind of not related to TdF - but worth a watch.

A tough day but with the heat but Pog showed Vingegaard a clean set of heels again. Vingegaard doesn’t seem to have the answer for Pogs power. :thinking:

Del Toro is really impressing me with his ride, especially with that leed out. :clap:

Seixas is not there yet but riding well.

Evenepoel, well with all of the hype about being super lean and producing more power and … he failed again when it came to the pointy end.

Ayuso, well how’s that move to Lotto working out for you after the way that you conducted yourself with UAE! :roll_eyes:

Jonas looking back when the Pog attacked was all I needed to see.

Jonas doesn 't have the kick Pog has. He has previously been able to do long climbs as good or even slightly better than Pog on occaision and that has been his only weapon. I don’t think he still can.

I really hope Jonas can pull something out of the bag on a long climb. We’ve seen Pogi crack in the past but he just seems so comfortable this year…

I go to BNA just to have my yearly whinge about Keenan, and ??? So here I am

He hasn’t changed :frowning: I just watched him scream that Vauquelin got into Pederson’s slipstream when he was like 20m clear​:joy:

He shts me too.

On the positive I really like Bridie, Simon is not bad either.

Caleb and Bridie in the box tonight that is good.

Will watch the highlights in the morning. Interested to see if Jonas can hang with Pog on these longer climbs. Hopefully so. :crossed_fingers:

I just read your username now :man_facepalming: and worked out who it is. Good to have you posting! :ok_hand:

G’day mate! I think that Pogacar may win this after last night :joy:. I’m really gonna have to read his Clinic thread later, those boys must be seething lol! Good to see the Red Bull boys getting along well too….Even a pole particularly outspoken last night at the end. I’m really not sure why he….and Pidcovk to be honest…..don’t concentrate on smashing the big one day races?

Stage 6 and Pog showed his intentions in a dominate way. :astonished_face: Vingegaard had no answer but was clearly better than the rest of the chasers.

Evenepoel continued with his excuses but this time is attacking his Team for his lack ability too go with the others and not beat Del Toro for 3rd place on the day! :roll_eyes:

Yep that is the yellow sorted without injury or illness it seems.

Jonas tried hard, it wasn’t lack of effort, just could not go with Pog.
