The 4:05 analysis is pure gold, please more of this! I never watched TdF because it was just too much to take in if wanted to understand what's really going on, without know everything about every rider and every team. Because of this I always preferred to watch small crit races from a single person perspective and tactical commentary, notably the NorCal Cycling channel. But your videos are great at bringing out the tactical nuances, and make want to watch more of TdF. Thanks, and keep up the great work!

I’ve been watching cycling for 40 years and this channel is consistently the best analysis I’ve seen - makes most of the former pro riders on TV look like amateurs when it comes to explaining tactics. Chapeau👏

[@TheDutchGamr]

Fun fact about the pacing and moderation of the attack by Bauke. He does not ride with a headunit, no heartrate, no powerdata, and no course data (climb length, percentages and corner warning in the descent). He solely relied on his own body knowledge during the ascend and descend, incredible if you ask me. Bauke has shown that the amount of experience can pay off.

[@afischer8327]

Impressive. I'm so glad for Bauke. Thanks for the info!

Fuglsang said in a belgian interview that he would go for tomorrow's stage

[@AnalogNoiseLab]

H e also said he was not feeling the best and that it might be because he got the second vaccine injection before the Tour..

[@ZnakeTech]

Yeah, but today he said he was just going to be a helper for Lutsenko in a Danish interview - he says he suspects the second vaccine shot is messing with him, which he got just before the Tour, and whenever he tries to go full out, it's kind of like a car with a restrictor, where suddenly he just can't go any faster. He felt the same way after the first shot, and apparently he got a "lactate" test done, which said he is producing a lot more lactate than expected relative to his watts. So honestly, I done expect to see much more of him in this Tour, hopefully it will be out of his system before the Olympics, which is his big goal this season.

great content, as always, I would just add to it that Mollema, when on form and in stages like this, is really, really a strong rider. I don't believe that any of the riders in the group chasing would have the engine to pull him back on the type of terrain thei were facing in the last 30/35 km. Add to this all your considerations about tactics etc etc etc and you have it :-)

[@roushnetwork6]

I can’t imagine Martin was pushing himself too much. He has to have a full tank to survive in the Pyrenees on podium.

[@goozerboozer8543]

One of most amazing things is that Bauke Mollema rides without a cycling computer. His trainer (De Jong) asked him to put it in his back pocket, so they still know his watts/speed etc. Mollema said he doesn't like to ride with a computer since it's only distracting him.

[@ZnakeTech]

Yeah, the team will always want the data regardless - in some events, I don't remember, if it's junior racing, the Olympics or track, but there is something where they aren't allowed to use the computers - but then they will zip tie it under the seat usually, so they still have the data afterwards.

[@ThatsDUAL]

Massive nod to the vegan cyclist "Chris Froomes Breakdown" in this video's thumbnail! I hope it was, cos that one got me into cycling analysis, and the rest is history. I still fondly remember the first LR's videos, and how I would watch them over and over again. _They exist now only in my memory_

[@GDF07]

Why do so few stages this year seem to have mountain top finishes? Is it a money thing in that the organizers can get more cash if a stage finishes in a town? Personally, I don't like it. I hope that if Vingegaard can crack Pogacar on a climb tomorrow, it doesn't get nullified by a descent.

[@jacobkilby]

Definitely feel like there's not enough this year. There was a spate about 5-6 years ago where they made a few more summit finishes descents into towns to stop Froome/Sky just riding everyone off their wheel, though this did nullify the GC race on more stages

[@wiesorix]

Well, if you wonder why ASO takes any weird decision, money is always a safe bet. The other good guess is increasing the likelihood of a french rider getting a good GC result or even winning. Maybe the organisation wanted Alaphilippe to repeat his 2019 tour, and they know that he can take back time in the descent if he gets dropped by beter climbers. If that's the case, it didin't quite work out...

[@nelly-gu2qq]

Lol he better be focused more on the others.. Carapaz, Uran.. Since they are a lot closer to him in time.. Than Pogacar. If he makes a mistake with them..it is bye bye podium for him.

[@Fyr35555]

The Ventoux stage descent neutralised gaps because it was wide and fast which benefits a group. The Beixalis descent is really technical so I think it won't be nearly as bad as stage 11. Certainly no 40 second loss unless Vingegaard is just a bad descender relative to the others.

[@geuros]

@@carbonking53 btw vaccines aren’t about protecting the individual; it’s to reach “heard immunity”. Even though young people aren’t at as high a risk, from an epidemiological point of view, they still need to get it to reduce the overall spread in the population. The spread through young people passes onto vulnerable population putting them at risk. So, yeah, that’s the science behind it. You’re not alone in your misunderstanding though! Lots of people don’t understand the logic and health experts haven’t done as good a job explaining it as they should

It seems like the best strategy in the breakaway is just to make sure you're always in front, and count on the fact that riders in the group behind will not work together. They either look at each other, have a teammate in front, or have different interests than winning the stage. It worked for Mohoric last week, it worked for the group with Pollitt two days ago, it worked today, and it will likely happen again this Tour.
