Due to the crashes of Thomas and Roglic I am afraid this will be an easy win for Pogacar.

Great shots Bob! I can't see anyone other than Pogacar wearing yellow in Paris, unless something dramatic happens.

Although there have been plenty of dramatic events so far...

You are right Alan, man for man Pogacar is on a different planet to the rest of the field, it will take something very untoward to stop him, with his Team, and the lead he has even a bad day is unlikely to cause him a major problem. For interest we have to look for 'who comes next?' I think Carapaz is probably 'best of the rest' but he has, if not a mountain to climb, at least a fairly steep hill.

Good to see Thomas getting back to fitness, ne climbed twenty odd places today overall, so hopefully might get into the top fifteen if not ten, and Cav is judging the 'time limit' just right.

Tremendous performance by O'Connor, quite amazing the way he climbed alone for 17K, and distanced some pretty big names. A well deserved stage win, and Cobrelli? No surprise to see him finish third, he often does that - in a sprint! On the longest climb in the whole Tour, fantastic.

I will get some pictures from todays stage later.

Good to see I am not only one watching the best sport of all.

Cheers,

Bob

A ride;
145 kn. in 4.26.43secs. finishing up a 21 km long climb in constant heavy rain and low temperatures.

Perhaps a model for Mike's Anniversary ride, Alan?

Now there's a thought! The proposed date for BBR '21 is 2 days after Iain and I are planning to do a lap of the Isle of Wight (100km with 1500m climbing) so maybe more of a recovery ride would be in order)

Interesting pics, thanks, between pleasure and torture. I know this place, no animal or vegetation can survive there… Van Aert has been superhuman. Hope he kept his strength up for the coming day(s). Those riders are made in an unknown metal, from the first to the last one. Respect.

Go Slovenia!

I wonder how many youngsters in Slovenia will be inspired to take up cycling following the exploits of Pogacar, Roglic and Mohoric?

The country has a population of 2 million...
