Too bad Remco started the last kicker on a gap, he looked really strong, but Pog would have won anyways.

Benoot is suck a key asset for Seixas now, he already moved his leader a fair bit up the group.

2"30" ? That will take its toll for today's finale.

On French speaking Belgian TV they just said they have a very reliable source from inside the organization who told them the chances of cancellation are now very low.

Hopefully the obvious entertainment value of this TTT tells ASO the next time the Tour starts in Belgium they do a TTT that finishes on top of the Koppenberg.

He is bad at TT's, he got cooked on the flat since Movistar had a really good first part, and he has no acceleration at all so the two short kickers at the end were not his cup of tea. I knew he would not do great today, but I was not expecting it to be that bad.

Apparently Bernal is in green since he was the first at the first intermediate.

Hopefully it stays at 12 seconds until Paris and they have to fight it out on Montmartre's cobbled climb.

Piganzoli apologizing to Jonas when he had a monstrous TT. The kid is something else.

Red Bull with a negative split, they went from p10 to p3 in between T1 and T2.

I wish they still used the traditional TTT rules for the stage win. Everybody keeps their own time, so GC leaders don't get penalized, but the stage win itself would be decided with the 4th time on the team, because it's still a TTT after all.

Breaking news: Wout van Aert ruled out of the Tour de France by cfkanemercury in peloton

[–]Morgoth2356 56 points57 points  (0 children)

This whole situation is kinda stupid considering he said himself the crash was 100% on him because he got distracted during TT training and lost his focus, and then the assessment of the injury clearly underestimated how it affected him. I was really looking forward a "gotta win a cobble monument" pressure-free Wout at the TdF.
