Tour de France Stage 10 - Morzine to Megève (148.1km)

mewso

A relatively short mountain stage today with a long but not very difficult final summit. Has to be a day for the break as you can't see any real advantages to chasing it today. Hard to see any major changes to GC but then again sometimes these benign looking stages can throw up drama. In terms of the break I would expect to see Kamna having a go again but my pick for today is Paret-Peintre. PCS says he is a local so he will know this climb well and his team will be on stage hunting duty until the end of the Tour now with O'Connor gone. Maybe Latour for Total Energies. Another French team that has lost 2 riders. Is it Kirby or Hatch that has been going on about their long wait almost every day?

Inner Ring is going for Kamna, Jungels (another who lives nearby) amongst others. Pinot might be along too if he fancies going for the KOM but like the other day this stage is probably not hard enough for him to take the win. The next two days might suit him better. Would love to see him win on Alpe D'Huez.

Did Ewan get eliminated? i see he was 31mins down, with a lot of his team but cant find confirmation. last estimation I heard put elimination at 18 or so minutes

Thought Fred Wright had super legs today better than Sanchez but he was scarified wrongly for me.

It was a real interesting last climb with loads of riders well up to winning in different scenarios.

Yummmm. What’s Orla wearing tonight. A slip of a yoke as my dad would have said

Agreed. They are only PCR testing as a rule after a positive RADT result a o the sensitivity of the antigen test is key.

Sprint was class at the end, absolutely delighted for him.

This is correct but if its that low it might also be just the beginning of the infection. Not to get to deep into a Covid discussion but if this is the game they want to play then they should be doing multiple daily antigen tests where you are detecting proteins that are there during the spreading stage of an infection. Admittedly it would be easier to "dodge" an antigen test if its self administered. How long its detectable via PCR is debatable and most labs will have a cycle cut off, so anything after that is simply a "not detected". We've done some cool things in our lab with testing sensitivity on both test types and several brands of antigen tests.

He’ll lose 4-10 minutes tomorrow and Thursday

A very weird stage. Feels like a wasted opportunity for a mountain stage. This was a stage up a mountain that wasn’t a mountain stage.

Delighted for Cort. LL Sanchez sprint was horrific.

Even if he is not in yellow Kamna won't be able to go on the break now. I do wonder why he doesn't have a crack at GC anyway. Seems perfectly capable. Decent TT too.

Yeah popular win there I think. Everyone was in a heap on the ground after the finish.

Squidgy Black

Delighted Court won that (I think...), anyone but Bahrain I would've been happy with tbf

Squidgy Black

Van Baarle gone way too early

mewso

Bahrain to take the win and get raided in the morning?

I'd love to see Lenny take yellow here.

Another day of praying Simmons doesn't get the win.

I recently read Slaying The Badger by the late Richard Moore about Hinault & LeMond in the 1986 Tour. I would highly recommend it!

Don't know how I feel about Pogacar staying away from Majka all day - surely if the team leader is worried about staying close to him then he shouldn't be in thee race at all?

Who was Kelly talking about jumping of the bike and swinging punches at protestors during Paris Nice back in the day I missed that bit?

Some years ago, Thomas crashed and lost his Racing Jackets glasses. He was a bit upset about it, because they were his last pair. Oakley had stopped making them. Oakley then made up a few new pairs for him.

I am relying on memory for this, and can't find link.

Wiggo loving it, he's right though the French don't take kindly to that kind of stuff.

retalivity

Lol, someone getting fcuked down the verge in the background to Wiggins there

[Deleted User]

Protesters ffs.

i see GT is sporting some NEW shades...today the first time ??

(didn't Oakley make him some new old racing jackets ?)

retalivity

Pog not sitting behind Majka, Thomas is in there instead. Take no chances!
