Everyone finished with a happy face except Carlitos, bad luck for him. It would have been cool if Pinot won, but with Pogi and Jonas going for it it was not going to happen.

 

Two and two now, next year will be crazy if both come in top form.

Well, that was an anticlimactic last real stage :lol: 

 

Mostly thanks to Vingegaard not doing anything except for following, following, following (again) and then trying for 3 seconds until Pogacar expectedly outsprinted him. With Pinot, Pidcock, Barguil, Gall, Yates and Yates in the front there was so much potential for a fun last 10km....too bad it was extinguished by Vingegaard (and to a lesser extent Pogacar, although in his case not attacking was at least logical).

 

On the bright side, the passage of Pinot on the Petit Ballon was absolutely, breathtakingly amazing :wub::bowdown: Such a shame they went for it behind him, but wow, what a moment.

What else could Vingegaard do except for following? We all know Pogacar is more explosive on the attacks. I feel like as soon as it was clear they were going for the stage win, this was the logical outcome.

 

The Pinot climb was incredible, I wish he had won as well.
