Battle for 3rd will be interesting, maybe 2nd too if Pogi can't recover in the next days.

Did that bike ahead of Vingegaard just ran out of fuel ?

NBC had their in-race reporter (Christian Vande Velde) right there by coincidence. The red car tried to pass motorbikes (or move out a gap by pulling to side) and caused a traffic jam accordingly to him.

Gall  within striking distance of Ciccone  for the polka-dots if he desires a big prize after today. Those two could have a fun race over the final mountain stage.

 

I expected Powless  to be in better shape. It was nice to see an American in one of the leader’s jerseys while it lasted. I just hope Kuss will be allowed to challenge for the GC one day

Why is stage 18 Hilly but stage 19 is Flat? the diagram of both stages looks almost identical

Philipsen is literally trying to block attackers with 80k to go, because he doesn't want another attacker. Like, going in front of the attacker, pulling the brakes, trying to push him out of the road, etc. The umpteenth dick move by Philipsen.

 

Probably he'll get away with 200 CHF fine or so, but he should easily get 100 points docked for the green jersey or so. Won't make a difference, but still it means a bit more than a tiny monetary fine.

I would go with a disqualification myself. Just once, it would be enough to calm down everyone for the next ten years.
