What a sprint from Wout to steal the stage today
Not sure he stole it, he was actually one of the favorites to win. I don’t think he can climb the big mountains well enough the win a tour.
With Bennett out due to covid this really is the ultimate Tadej vs Jumbo Visma showdown.
They wore Tadej out because he didn't have any teammates in the middle of the stage. Its amazing how important the teams are for the GC riders. 8 vs 5 is nearly impossible to overcome.
I was curious about this. I'm like a real casual watcher -- really dig le Tour, try to watch any Vuelta or Giro stages when I see them, and like the old 70s docs about Merckx, etc. -- and figured yesterday was a lot about the difference in teams between UAE and J-V, but definitely still don't totally understand everything. Kind of a bummer for Tadej if it was a lot of dumb team luck/Covid, but that's how it goes.
A lot of my enjoyment is just digging the scenery of them riding through towns and the countryside in Europe, I think.
Kinda ill that they're making me watch on Peacock instead of USA, but still playing commercials.
