It was so incredible to see them tear the peloton apart in mere seconds. They are now 2 minutes from the breakaway (where only four remain it seems due to van Aert’s speed)
This is starting to look like a stage win for Jonas and yellow.
As I am watching this stage I am curious why WVA and JV do not both swing left and have the group move up to do some of the work. I saw that JV tried it but everyone followed him, and I understand the reason they did. Wouldn't it be beneficial for them both to drop to the back of the group to save energy or is that one of the unspoken rules, if you have a team you do the work
Edit: right now u have about 9k left in race and this has been great.
Can't believe I fell asleep before the final climb last night. Late tour nights definitely take it out of me!
Just caught up. Pogi played the game right today. Tour not over! WvA almost needed to be stretchered up the hill he went so deep, great teamwork and performance from him.
