Pog seems to be showing he is stronger. Jonas might require Pog to crack on a later stage in order to win this.

They are almost even right now. Not hardly a spits difference. Pitcock was pretty good today.

Pog definitely smells blood in the water.

Vinny's team fell apart before the key last 4km

what a heartbreak. Those last two miles were brutal for him. And Michael Woods put on a clinic.

Another great stage

I compare that stage to the scene in Austin Powers where he's going to run someone over in the steam roller.

The pace just seemed brutally slow, made it so gripping

The agony Matteo must have felt as Woods passed him being so close (yet so far away), and nothing he could do about it.

Pog does appear to have the upper hand now, he’s looking strong. I’m worried TJV as a whole is getting gassed already.

To be honest, I didn’t see any UAE there when the shite hit the fan. Ex team sky had more bodies than they did but this was hard today. Death by a thousand cuts today because of the slow speed up this climb.

That's something Lance pointed out on his podcast the other day. He said when Sepp is done pulling he needs to be coasting it in, not still pedaling for a top 10 finish. Being #9 overall isn't what you need your workhorse doing.

Yeah he did.

Assuming you guys are, but if you aren’t watching The Move with Lance and George every day as well as JB2, you’re really missing out.

When Lance first started his podcast I watched all the time. But the commercials took too much time and I stopped. I watch everything Chris Horner puts out there, though. His video should be out soon. I'll be interested to see if he touches on this topic about Kuss and TJV. Horner focuses a lot on the big picture and Lance is pretty good about honing in on specific riders.

Just saw that Astana is offering Cav another ride next year if he doesn’t want to go out like this.

Someone gave me a tip if you watch on YouTube, any time it's a sponsored segment there's a QR code in the corner. Just drag until you find a spot that doesn't have the QR code.

Rest day blues, idk what to do

great analogy.

those last 500 meters were A-G-O-N-I-Z-I-N-G. i felt awful for jorgenson. just put it all out there and ran out of guess within spitting distance of the finish.

that sucked.

I rode the climb on Zwift. It is NOT fun you get a little relief in the middle where it drops to 4 or 5% but the ramp up to the top is a 10% average or higher. I can't imagine how bad it felt for Jorgenson

Exactly. I just fast forward through his sponsor pitches.
