    I just can't believe that those two are that much better than the other GC guys. I mean they blew them away like it was nothing.

    Zabel missed the time cut by 5 seconds, so they let him continue. The other 3 are out.

    Uran abandons before todays stage. Sounds like his crash in Stage 9 (roubaix stage) was much worse than originally anticipated.

    Real talk, is it just money that makes them so good? That they can sign anybody they want? I'm a little bit of a novice to the Tour de France and only been seriously watching the last 4-5 years and every damn year its Team Sky, Team Sky.....and TEAM SKY and its very frustrating. The "Warriors of the Tour" doesn't make this as fun tbqh

    this peloton has like 25 riders in it and Sky have 6. fucking outrageous. Jon Castroviejo is a time trialist and he's hanging on the this bunch. unreal.

    Kruijswijk has a chance to blow the race apart here. This is good stuff.

    I'm not sure how much time the Peloton can make up on the descent before they get to Huez.

    He's gonna get caught.

    At this point, I'm just interested to see how Thomas and Froome play this. I want to see Thomas ride for himself.
