The real question I have is how close Remco is to Pog and Jonas..

If it’s close we could see a blazing descent and TT on the flat for yellow or catch Pog. I took Pog +100 and Jonas +900 but was looking at Remco as the only other one

Jonas completely isolated on the Galibier

4 vs 1

Not having Sepp is a killer

Man, this sport rules! Love waking up with a cup of coffee, checking emails, and watching Le Tour. One of my favorite times of year.

UAE looks strong, but Jonas is a machine. He’s still the guy until Tadej proves he can beat him.

Remco looking calm, cool, and collected. If he hangs with Tadej and Jonas on this stage, don't sleep on him.

Edited to Add: well that comment aged like milk!

Edited a second time: not bad Remco to come back for second!

Pogi, Jonas, and Remco have just nose breathed the whole climb

Those puddles and random wet spots on the descent

Remco can't descend at all. He'll get killed on the gravel too.

Pog is too good and UAE is too strong this year. Hard to see this going any other way.

The Tour decided on day 4?
Yikes.
I mean anything can happen in 2 1/2 weeks but Pog is by far the best cyclist in the world and it’s showing.

Apparently Pogi broke the record on the Galibier by nearly 2 mins

This looks very similar to last year, but the other direction.

One rider coming back from injury and in extremely good form, but looks human against an alien and a superteam.

Jonas will eat some spinach before the time trail stages and beat the entire field by 10 minutes

My booty cheeks clinch watching these guys descend. One pebble and you're tumbling down a rocky cliff at 60mph

It’s backloaded. We don’t have another proper mountain stage till the 3rd week. I am super curious to see it Tadej fades due to having the giro in the legs. We will see
