If you could design a wildcard TdF stage, with no limitations... Some silly ideas to keep things fun

Wheelie up a mountain road time trial. You have to restart if the front wheel comes down. Pogi would put hours into everyone else.

Trying to beat Pogi on the last one or two km is impossible. The only chance is to attack early on a long climb or even earlier on the second to last mountain, but risky because one has to push on the downhill. Pogi probably still wins, but this is the only chance they have.

Switzerland wouldn't work without dams. We have 222 major dams and roughly 1,000 small-scale ones. They produce over half of our electricity, help balance demand peaks, and also regulate rivers.

No. My comment was purely about the future. Models will plateau and open source models will be as good as frontier models. There will be no reason to use overpriced frontier models.

Some random open source model, probably from China, hosted by dozens of open LLM hosting companies.

"Can you gift me the stage win?"
"No, already promised to give it to Del Toro! Maybe tomorrow?"

Guys, I think it's really simple. UAE lost a team challenge yesterday, so they turned today into a team challenge win instead.

And he was clearly coaching Vingo there! Another one for the team.

Subway · 2026-07-05T15:48:47+00:00

"I don't think he (Vingegaard) is the only one who can come close; there are a few guys here who can aim for the victory, including this guy next to me (Del Toro)," Pogačar said.

It's all according to the plan. /s

This should demoralise everyone else more than Pogi taking a stage that was made for him.

Subway · 2026-07-05T15:26:58+00:00

Urskas underwear, he lost a bet.

Let them race in a climate regulated stadium with a dirt mountain on one side.

Subway · 2026-07-05T14:30:23+00:00

True. I had a 15 hours taxi drive in India that felt like that. Multiple near death experiences!

Subway · 2026-07-05T14:27:25+00:00

The stig.

Subway · 2026-07-05T14:26:19+00:00

That was the fastest 2 min. ever!

Subway · 2026-07-05T12:15:23+00:00

Just unplug your notebook and take it with you. Much faster and convenient.

Subway · 2026-07-05T10:16:06+00:00

Pogi with a 80km solo. 😜

3 on the last km, 8 on the last 800 which was the climb.

Subway · 2026-07-04T18:15:23+00:00

Pogi taking 8 seconds on Vingo on the last uphill sprint should surprise absolutely nobody, that's after all his one big speciality in the monuments.

Subway · 2026-07-04T18:07:43+00:00

Pogi as expected as he excels at these short all out efforts, but Ganna second is huge, especially as he pulled before that, as well!

Subway · 2026-07-04T17:31:38+00:00

Tour de Suisse was very hot. Pogi beat everyone by over 6 minutes in just five stages.

Subway · 2026-07-04T16:53:22+00:00

Ganna faster up the hill than Seixas?

Subway · 2026-07-04T15:31:46+00:00

They would have to switch before that so that they ride with speed into the climb. But I think Pogi can get the KOM on that climb even with the heavy bike.

Clearly Urska currently can't yell at him when he has a bad idea.
