Cavendish might win the GC if everyone gets COVIDstonemuse said:Pidcock out with Covid, doubt G will last more than this weekend2 - 
            Looks like heartbreak for Healy at the end of today's stage...0

            But Pogacar...0
 - 
            Great UAE tactics there0
 - 
            Just a stunning win today, Vingegaard looks well beaten.

            Another terrific stage tomorrow1

            Brilliant... This rivalry between Tadej and Jonas is one of the best surely?
The speed with which Pogacar just closed the gap between himself and Yates / Healy!!1 - 
            He didn’t even look tired at the end, he’s a different breed0

            I'm inclined to believe, in this year's Tour, one of the top GC contenders will probably have to deal with having a (possibly COVID-related) really bad day/abandonment.
Edit - in this case, it could be as much due to losing key domestiques as the GC contenders themselves.
Not that I want it, but it's been a really full on race so far, while the numbers being struck down with illness seem significant.
That said, the number of times someone seems dominant on a tough mountain stage but then blows up the next day means it's a bit early to relax if you are UAE.1 -

            Peyresourde at the start tomorrow will sort a few riders out lol2

It's going to give me nightmares, just thinking about it.stonemuse said:Peyresourde at the start tomorrow will sort a few riders out lol
I always need about 10 miles or so to get into a rhythm.
Just a hateful start to a long day on the road.
Fully expect a couple to miss the cut off.0 - 
            No doubt … that start will destroy the field1
 - 
            Getting problematic for Cav. Can only afford to lose about another 20 minutes.0
 - 
            It's nail biting at both ends of the race.0
 - 
            Looking like another incredible finish on the cards.0

            I can't watch any more of this absolute charade1

            I know that the Alps are still to come, but you'd struggle to see much change in the podium in Nice after today.
It's frightening to think that Pogacar might win a couple more stages this week.0 -

Agreed, he's going to be kicking himself that he wasn't more conservative in his tactics, but he really had to try to undermine Pogacar.stonemuse said:

I have to admit to liking him more for having tried and failed.
Which probably says more about me than I'd care to admit.1 -

            How many are in the Cavendish group, still the potential that they will allow an exception for them0

He’ll be pissed, he beat the cutoff by 2 minutes. I though I’d read an article where he said the target was 1 minuteForeverAddickted said:Hearing that Cavendish has finished inside the limit3 -
