Vinge looked gas yesterday and TJV burnt a few bikkies chasing the break for WvA. I reckon this one will be down to the line between Pog and Vinge.

Want to also say thanks to @Krob for putting up these threads. It's hard building a community from scratch, but it's great seeing these threads pop up consistently and reasonable participation here.

Ahh fuck. Not like this Cav. Absolutely gutted for him.

How good was that stage! Holy moly. This is going to be a good tour!

Not a huge fan of the new Green Jersey.

Hoping for a first week battle between MvdP, WvA and Alaphillipe to keep it interesting.

I really enjoy the Pogi show and will be cheering for him, but I want to see Jonas give him a run for his money. A third real contender revelation would be fantastic too.

A Bernal stage win and top 5 would top it off for me.

Just caught up this morning. Puy de Dome was such a great and unique climb to watch. It was such a fantastic way to round out week one of racing.

With the GC gap down to 17 seconds between JV and TP, week two is going to be epic!

Reddit was RiF for me. I don't like Tildes so can't follow TalkLittle to his new app. What's everyone using for Lemmy? Jerboa started crashing with the latest updates, so I'm trying Connect for Lemmy. It's ok. Would like to give a few other apps a crack too.

UAE team leader Adam Yates to be lead out by super domestic Tadej Pogacar up the Col de Marie Blanque dropping everyone except Gaudu who despite wheel sucking for the whole stage gets the Combative award.

Jai, noooooo!

TJV is just so dominant right now. Very different tactics to Sky in its heyday, but same results.

You have to feel for Wout missing the focus on him. What a win too! Well deserved and fantastic to see him get the win for the split second it showed him!

Top two are insanely evenly matched. They're both looking spent after every stage. It couldn't be closer!

Yep. I've seen hens scalp their own chicks because they were a different colour from the others.

And Jai is finally off the front!

It's funny, I've noticed the yellow helmets and number tags changing teams a lot this year, so I've been following it. It's been as close as the GC!

The last time I took notice was during the Movistar trident days, when nobody cared except them.

Hearing the INEOS team radio just now was really strange and jarring. This'll take some getting used to.

Caleb or Cav, come on.

Just tuned in to a very confusing situation. Hindley in the break? UAE chasing without help from TJV because TJV have riders in the break?

UAE needs to call their bluff and sit up. I'd be pretty happy if Jai took enough time against Pog and Vin today because of these tactics, with Jai winning the tour.

Holy shit, that performance from Vinge was just inhuman. You can't fault Pogi, but Vinge is just on another level.

Let's go Jai!

It's in development according to the RiF goodbye message. So no name yet. Will be interesting to see if it looks and feels like RiF.

It definitely gives credit to their "two leaders" narrative. Hopefully it results in some great racing like last year.
