As an American, I really miss the Eurosport coverage of the Tour de France. The commentators and race coverage is so much better than NBC Sports.

[@AdamFoster]

Seconded. I remembered why I always fell asleep during the tour as a kid as soon as I watched the first 15 minutes of the NBC broadcast. And this seems like a key part of why there are so few American cycling fans. Who could watch that broadcast who wasn't a fan already?

[@grantlingley1385]

I appreciate your comment. In Canada we need a subscription to Flo Sports (around $200 per year)to get and yes, I do it for the Tour but also a ton of other great racing as well.

[@Rob-xk5my]

Incredible descent from Pogacar, Evenepoel was the smartest among the other riders, descended carefully and did not take any risks and then finished 2nd

[@julianschmidt147]

He is also the one with the biggest motor on the flat, so he could afford it. I think he is not the best bike handler as well.

[@cipher.u.justice]

@@julianschmidt147 yep, he can't do anything other than descend carefully 😆

[@FloydDiamond]

@@julianschmidt147 Remco surprised me very positively. He doesn't have the punch that Pogi has, but I think he's a bigger threat to Pogi than Vingegaard in three weeks. Precisely because its engine is bigger. He looked extremely relaxed on the climb.

[@julianschmidt147]

@@FloydDiamond True, but don’t be mistaken: if it goes into the Pyrenees, he will have to let him go. It does not look like there is a serious threat to Pog right now, if Jonas level stays where it is right now. The last time trial might be a way to secure second though for Remco, would love to see it!

[@MikeLawrence-i6r]

Remco is back!

[@Maxibsa]

But why did he lose so much time on the descent😢 that hurt me. He lost less time on the climb. I hope he can keep going for the next few weeks.

[@EVEDetria]

Remco is always there... in week 1,

[@cipher.u.justice]

@@Maxibsa he is not a bike handler so he lost time on the technical part but made up for it when the road straightened out and still finished 2nd

Juan Ayuso did a fake game with he's teammates

[@jackal6234]

I saw when Almeida wave his hands to Ayuso like go in front bro. So it was all their acts?

[@nochancecw]

Not having Sepp on the tour is making this much harder for Jonas.

[@ogidogi-yb9oz]

also primoz..last tour they tag team pogacar.after primoz attack pogi.next is jonas will attack.pogacar got tired.but im rooting for pogi

[@boyddi7365]

This stage demonstrates the dominance of team UAE/Pogacar. Team Visma will face a tough challenge this year.

[@edwin.jansen]

Remco knows his strengths and uses them optimally. When the road is straight and he is on form nobody can beat him, once it goes down or the course turns into a circus attraction of bends he knows he is at a disadvantage. Next friday will be exciting.

[@sambitmishra1229]

May be Trauma from Lombardia crash? understandable

[@koopalibrary]

@@sambitmishra1229 he was also in the race where Mader died, and part of that scary basque crash.

[@edwin.jansen]

@@sambitmishra1229 ooh Remco already had trouble with downhills before that. It for sure does not help.

[@edwin.jansen]

I am getting more and more grateful I did not pursue my wish to become a pro cyclists in my youth more. I would have been pro in the 90s when all the cheating and lying and manipulation took place. It would have broken me. Also the trauma of the deaths. These days I do see how fake and hypocritical this sport is. I guess that comes with age. This sport is brutal. Not only physically but perhaps even more mentally and emotionally. If I ever will be in it it will be as a mental coach. I look at Remco and wonder when he will burn out. So much pressure at such a young age.

[@michaelbantilo-kq9bg]

UAE riders are locked in, they're very strong ayuso finishing with GC level riders

[@anthonyhuber-permanentlyre7808]

*Maybe UAE will give him protected status at the Vuelta for this work.*

[@thelitmedallion]

@@anthonyhuber-permanentlyre7808 It would be cool, but they might send Tadej for the triple.

[@ruigouveia7494]

And almeida wasn’t that far back. UAE is pulling a Jumbo Visma 2023 on Tour de France 2024

[@mariusmanoiu2228]

Why are u surprised ? Ayuzo would finish on the podium if not pulling for Pogi

[@AllMenMustServe]

@@mariusmanoiu2228 yeah but why did he stay behind when Almeida started to push? It was obvious that the team strategy was for Yates, Almeida and Ayuso to interchange equally when Sivakov, Soler and Wellens stopped working. Their strategy was all about maintaining those 3 super domestiques GC position while also isolating other team's leaders. Obviously Yates was dropped cause he didn't have the legs, but Ayuso stayed behind for some time and he obviously had the legs. Even Pog and Almeida started to communicate with the team to know if he actually had the legs and suddenly he came up and started working too. Strange behavior if you ask me. He needs to work on his team skills cause it might bite him in the a*s in a few years from now.

[@erickim3265]

[@anthonyhuber-permanentlyre7808]

[@thelitmedallion]

UAE really improved their GT teams, specifically for Tadej. Visma lost a lot with Roglic leaving and the crashes earlier in the year. Kuss being sick also hurt a lot. It's UAE's to lose.

[@deciosilvio1341]

UAE yes but not Ayuso

[@bassedd7620]

I was expecting something from Tom Pidcock. It seems he was cooked before the descent.

[@imacomputer1234]

Everyone is superhuman this year! Must be eating a LOT of chick peas....

[@brettpj3936]

The speed Pogi attacked the last 2km of the Galibier was pretty sus to me!.. He went around hairpins so fast he had to stop pedalling, and this was a 9%+ gradient! 😮

[@mariusmanoiu2228]

His attack was in the last km

I like Remco so far, he might land the podium this year.

[@rolandcolavizza5368]

UAE really put the hurt on .

[@ashwinoashwin]

I know pog is on a whole different level but he burnt a considerable amount of matches in the 1st week in 2022 (that famous shot of him smiling to the camera) and paid heavily for it in the 3rd week . Really hope that is not the case here! It will be wonderful for the sport for a rider to do the double racing clean! I just cant accept pantani did the double no matter what the record books show.

[@MTw-ps2ds]

Clean 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@kennykaniff]

I see A LOT of Remco fans counting their chickens before they hatch!! This is only day 4 people. There's a WHOLE LOT of racing to come but yes Remco had a great day but he was shy on that descent!! 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@abyg5781]

Phenomenal descent from cetonaboy 👏its just incredibly, where is vinni ?😮

[@palexander5090]

Now that UAE is as strong, in fact stronger, than Visma was last year, I wonder if the same people will say that "[Tadej] won because of his TEAM", not HIS strength, like they did about Jonas.

[@kennykaniff]

I expected to see Pogis attack with either 4km from the summit of the Galibier or 1km from the summit because both those markers said the climb went up to 11% so it was perfect springboard for anyone attacking Great choice to attack with 1km from summit and putting the nail in the coffin on that descent!! Remco and Jonas were BOTH shy on that descent which is understandable but still surprising to see. Remco was more shy on the descent than Jonas tho 🤘🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Lets PLEASE say congrats to Juan Ayuso !!! What a monster domestique and GC guy in case Pogacar has to drop. Today taking bonuses from other GC guys, pulling Pogacar almost all the way, etc, etc.. VIVA AYUSO !!!

[@fiendersPT]

Are you crazy? He hid behind in the group to not help his teammates and especially Tadej. Almeida had to shout to bring him to the front. Bad attitude from the spanish rider and I doubt he'll return to the tour next year if he does that stunt again.

[@cipher.u.justice]

@@fiendersPT but he prevented bonus seconds from going to a rival, that alone was worth more than a death pull because Pog can handle himself

[@UserUnknown457]

Are you serious??? Today he showed what a bad teammate he can be.

You have to wonder yet again…is Pogacar burning too many matches too early in the race?

[@riccardod8425]

Not at all, Pogy dominated the Giro from the start to the end. He's just having fun.

[@jackspeed650]

Anyone who tried to follow him has burned as many matches if not more.

[@edwin.jansen]

It still is amazing that riders can ride so hard up an 8 to 10% slope, that they need to almost break to make corners. Journalist claim we can not call them modern gladiators or super soldiers, but they themselves use superlatives like galacticos and the magnificent 6. What did we watch this afternoon? Tadej rode this like he was riding a mountain bike downhill track or a Formula One driver. He warmed up his tyres for 120km and then had optimal grip. Remembering Gino Mader, I had a very hard time watching Tadej's descent. Nobody should go and risk his or her life to win a game. Again what have I been watching this afternoon?

@@mariusmanoiu2228 the first giro itt had a fair climb at the end, before the climb Ganna had a 47s lead over Pogacar. The itt on friday is basicly flat but shorter. I never said Remco will win yellow, but he has a realistic chance.
