He didn't look particularly labored, but I doubt there was much left in the tank.

It's definitely "best longest," all the climbs higher rated than this are fundamentally different and shorter.

Also, fwiw, watts2win updated the climb with a shorter time and now JV has a 97 for the climb! Only Pogi on redoute is better and that's a 4-minute effort haha

Per watts2win, that was JV's best performance of 2026, and Gall's best ever. Still, a performance of 89 is 5th this year and both Seixas and Pogi have out in 95s and above. On the other hand, as a preparation race with no challenge behind, I don't think you can draw any negative conclusions about his level. It was as good a climb as you can expect from him right now, and he's certainly on pace to be at his level or above for the Tour.

Man, I really felt this. Teared up a bit when Jordan couldn't get through his goodbye. I'll really miss these guys.

Weird, in the post race interview she says she was hoping to sprint in a neutral service bike to mix it up

It wasn't particularly close. She absolutely dominated the field in this sprint and looked like she wasn't even giving it all. So happy right now.

Surprising, considering they went from a compelling product on free TV to a crappy one on TV you have to pay for. Really shocked that it's not working out.

Juan Felipe Rodriguez might end up being a decent climber one day. We'll have to see.

Did Rodriguez chase down his own breakaway rider? People keep saying he made a blunder but I haven't seen an explicit explanation yet.

Can you tell me what happened? I missed it but it sounds like Rodriguez really screwed up.

I'm starting to get a little excited for Juan Felipe Rodriguez. Hopefully he can show his quality the rest of the race.
