I am looking forward to this edition.

Did the Giro take too much off the legs of Tadej?

Is Jonas Vingegard recovered and in good enough shape for a 3-peat? Is the loss of Sepp Kuss going to hurt him?

Does Primoz Roglic have good enough team? Same question for Remco?

I suspect that we will see a more attacking Wout van Aert.

It does. Maybe that sets him up as the Jumbo leader for La Vuelta.

Stage 1 should be good.

There should be proper time gaps between GC leaders.

No, the Giro was a simple warm-up. The fact is, the competition at the Giro was sub-par, he did the minimum required to win.

No. I doubt Jonas will be a real factor. That's why they choose not to burn Kuss, they knew Jonas isn't in top form.

Maybe but I doubt it. Honestly, I feel like this tour is Tadej's lose.

I mean Jonas finished just 5 seconds off lead today. I wouldn't count that guy out.

Yeah, that was a dang good sign for JV.

I'm hoping for Matteo to make things interesting.

Yea definitely so.

That section of the race where Tadej made his move and Jonas went with him was great. Always fun to see when/where Tadej is going to try and separate.

Stage 4 will be the real test. Galibier is no joke.

I was surprised j how easy he covered. I am not sure if it's not more telling Tadej, specially with Carapaz and Remco able to bridge them.
Chipotlemonger

I wonder a bit if some of it was just Tadej testing the waters some. We've seen him start a move up and pretty immediately drop the effort before if something goes awry in the bolt. Once he was fully separate he pretty much maintained pace with the peloton the rest of the way. I wonder how much he truly could have kept pushing Jonas and the others.

Is Cavendish still in this thing? What stages are in his sights this go around? Could he win stage 3 tomorrow? Looks flat, but I don't know what their team strategy is.

Pogacar wins Stage 4.

Now 45 seconds ahead of second place in overall GC.

Didn't get to watch today. Saw a couple of highlights. Was it an entertaining stage?

For a mountain stage it was fairly tame until the last 3-4 km on the Galibier.

Pogacar attacked 800 meters from the summit then extended the gap on the descent.

Cavendish wins his 35th stage.

Most all time.

I end up watching the nbc sports highlights on YouTube the next morning while on my trainer. Where is the feed streamed live?

Best moment so far for me have been the two attacks Tadej have put on Jonas, the second being yesterday on the final climb and to the finish.

I think this is Tadej's tour to lose. He looks extremely strong. And given the margin of victory at the Giro I'd say he has the legs for it

I agree, but the last week of this tour is absurdly difficult.

Remco wins the ITT, Pogacar 12 seconds behind in 2nd.

Pogacar puts 25 seconds into Jonas V.
