It's crazy that we still have 2 more weeks. Punches were thrown today. And I'm guessing we will continue to see some thrown.

Wish I could have watched this morning, sounds like it was a great day!

Was able to catch the last half hour or so today. Knew from prior coverage that today's stage was going to be a sprinter finish and a big peloton stage for most of it. That last bit was great! I was pulling for Cavendish, he was so dang close.

I thought he was going to do it. Went just a bit too early, and Jasper was just a bit too strong.

Cav is in such a crap position considering his team. He was alone and unprotected for way too much of that sprint. He had no choice but to go early.

Yea I definitely noticed that in the few minutes leading up to the stretch. Knew if he did end up getting it, it would have been all him.

Mathieu van der Poel did a lot of work for Jasper there at the end.

Apparently Cav's chain slipped gears in the sprint. You can see him sit down and slow slightly just before Philpsen comes past.

Having this on USA is a bummer with it only showing in the middle of the night. Having a hard time following any of it this year.

Yep. I have Peacock for soccer so don't have to wait until the next day. I can't imagine there would be enough people signing up to watch TdF especially during the week when all the USA broadcasts are syndicated re-runs.

UAE's team has really impressed me this tour. Complete 180 from their showing last year.

I'm a big fan of watching this every year and all my recent memory tells me it's almost always lined up who is going to win by Paris.

What have been the biggest battles for overall 1st been while in Paris? How close have 1 and 2 Been before?

Yeah I don't think Paris has been contested since Lemond time trial in 89.

Edit: nice article on the Paris finish: https://cyclingbeginner.com/why-do-they-not-race-the-last-stage-of-the-tour-de-france/

Also first time seeing this: https://velo.outsideonline.com/news/confirmed-no-champs-elysees-finish-for-tour-de-france-in-2024/ (2024 tour final stage time trial like 1989 but in Nice!!)

What an insane day. How about that work that Wout van Aert put in for Vingegaard?

Also, cool to see Sepp Kuss (American) move up to 6 overall!
