Let's remember, five of the remaining eight stages are in big mountains, one is hilly and one is the promenade to Paris. Whole different race about to start.
Wonder if Ineos will fire up the pain train, or make QuickStep defend breaks...

Man WVA and Schachmann both crashing really screwed me, both would've been in the points today.
Pain train gonna come tomorrow, the move is to send Bernal up the road and make QS react

^^^yup, my thought exactly - expect Movistar to attack as well.
Really sad for WVA - doing so well in first TDF

I don't think Enric Mas should be discounted as a climber for QS - he may be able to hang with Bernal.- He did pretty good on the climbs in the Vuelta last year.
Bernal may have been playing possum today though as he was a ways back.

JA is bonkers. What form. Can't help but think he's gonna pull a Yatesy and disappear on one stage later this week. He went so hard the first week.
Pinot and Kruijswijk and Bachmann all look very very good.

Can this tour get any better?
I've had to stand up in front of the TV and cheer for most finishes!
Another uphill finish tomorrow, can't wait.

Lets see if JA can beat Thomas Voeckler’s 10 days in yellow in 2004.

The podium on our TGR team is tight!
Another league I'm in, that's run by a local bike shop has $100, $75 and $50 gift certificate up for grabs. I'm 200 points out front and Mrs.Hubbs is in a close battle for 2nd/3d. Hopefully we will end up with $125 to 175 at the bike shop.

Movistar is utterly stupid (should be known by now), dropping Soler while he's driving the race to pace Quitana. All for some stupid team competition and he's not even going to be on the team next season!

According to http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/tour...ntanas-gc-bid/
Quintana was having a bad day but didn’t tell anyone, so Movistar kept on driving. To me the dumb part was sending Soler back once Quintana cracked.
Tomorrow will tell who has climbing legs this year.

Waiting for Horner and VDVD to throw down. I think vande velde kicks horner's ass.

Chapeau to all you leaders pulling in the points like you do...I’m baffled at what it takes to succeed in this contest...I seem to make poor decisions at exactly the wrong times
Loving the racing at this Tour, but just waiting to see who I need to send money to...haha
I think Horner was right on Alaphilippe being the stronger rider than GT today despite the time loss and questionable positioning/pacing. (I think it was his aggressive nature taking a stab at pumping up his buffer leading into more mountain stages next week; a sort of “strike while the iron’s hot” strategy for a guy who can’t rely on a team to pull in the hills. Didn’t quite work today.)
Movistar & Ineos are going to punch hard next week. We’ll see if Pinot can dig deeper then Landa.

Sheer fucking luck has a lot to do with it. I don’t think anybody expected JA to win two stages and be in yellow for what, 11 days now? Or for Jumbo to be punching way above their weight.
And it isn’t over yet - well, except for Quintana, Bardet and Porte anyway. The Alps will lead to another sorting out.
To that end, the Ineos pain train seems to have lost some muscle this year...

Horner would kick vdvd’s ass, it wouldn’t be close. Vdvd has no upper body strength at all. Guy looks like he’s never done a push-up.

Wikipedia has them at the same height & weight but I think Horner’s mass is all in his head

Half of CVDV’s height and weight is in his hair...
It’s all part of the schtick

I’m just glad for a rest day. I don’t need to read up on the riders reports and study the stage profiles.

So did the guy in yellow win again? He usually does.
