Yeah, I was a teensy bit wrong there 😂

I agree that Remco will go stage hunting eventually. But today? I'd assume whatever hampered him yesterday will do so today, as well. Maybe take it slow for a day, recover, lose a bit more time to have a solid breakaway ticket in stages to come?
Is Rempo Evekoel door het ijs gezaak? Ganna back on form, Tarling stellar debut.

Still not confirmed, but Girmay withdrew: https://intermarche-circus-wanty.eu/news/biniam-girmay-worlds/

Biniam Girmay and four of his fellow Eritreans denied visas to the UK. Edit: Unconfirmed as of yet. All other sources quote GCN. But if it's true, WTF...
Cort to Uno-X came as a surprise to me. What about the rumours that are about? - Politt to UAE - Evenepoel leaving Quickstep (possibly to INEOS) - Landa to Quickstep - Alaphilippe leaving Quickstep (possibly to Total Energies) - Rodriguez to Movistar Which of them will turn out true? What others have you heard?

What a stage! The Tour hasn't been this entertaining for Yeats 😀

I also see Pidcock's name in this.

Zimmermann will surely be highly motivated. Alaphilippe, too.

It'll be interesting to see if Philipsen manages to sprint in a straight line, this time. IMHO, the jury only let it slide in Bordeaux because it would have made Cav's record by jury decision. Nobody wanted that. But I do think they will err on the stricter side, from now on, as far as he and MVDP is concerned.

I'm rooting for Girmay on this one.

Turned out to be an exciting stage in the end. Both the repeated attempts of Alaphilippe et. al. to close the gap to the front were entertaining, as well as the final. Sad for Zimmermann, though. He really deserves to take a stage one day...
