It’s hotting up, and there’s a chase of the leaders from a small group but Wout van Aert makes his way to pick up the minor points on offer from an intermediate sprint that otherwise has little to do with the rest of the standings. Days like yesterday really leave things so exciting.” There’s a really good analysis on the Cycling Podcast saying Pog was tactically a bit naive, such as chasing Roglic when there’s no need and also perhaps putting in attacks at the end of stages but was it worth it? But Pogacar is also such a strong rider he’ll surely have something to come. As for Pog, you have to think others will feel they can attack him now. It was a perfect tactical day for Jumbo and a dismal one for an already depleted UAE. In 2018, he joined the new British cyclo-cross team TP Racing, and during the season that followed, he won the under-23 cyclo-cross World Cup, the under-23 Superprestige, the under-23 European Championship, and the under-23 World Championship - as well as the senior British National Championship.ġ52km to go: Guy Hornsby gets in touch: “What a day it was yesterday. In 2017, Pidcock joined the Telenet–Fidea Lions team, winning his first British National Under-23 cyclo-cross championships title in Hetton-le-Hole, Sunderland, a year later.

The gap becomes huge, the Leeds lad reading the camber of the road expertly. ![]() That didn’t go down well with those who recalled his leading role in the protests that followed the Festina Affair.ĩ0km to go: Pidcock has Powless on the limit, his technique far superior. ““Perfect that they didn’t appear on screen,” said Jaja. This week, he’s been embracing more controversy in criticising the eco-protestors who disrupted the race earlier this week. Jalabert, the disgraced dauphin of French cycling, the last winner of a Grand Tour in winning the Vuelta in 1995, now works as a commentator on French TV. At the side of the road, a sign for Laurent Jalabert: “Allez Jaja.” The gap drops down by about 30 seconds, which isn’t a good portent for the group’s survival. Much to play for amid the breakaway group, on the back of which Froome sits, though he almost comes a cropper when a director’s car gets a bit too close for comfort. 65km to go: The calculations are being done for the breakaway, and it seems likely that seven minutes should be enough to stay away at L’Alpe, and with Tom Pidcock descending, the Oisans Valley may be be just the place for him to keep the gap at that distance.
