Only one rider outside the time limit. The others were at least 2 minutes before the cutoff

They did indeed expand the percentage for the time limit. Otherwise it would have got rid of a signficant chunk of the field

But surely they expanded it beforehand? As in, the stages are generally rated beforehand and based on that and the finishing time, the time limits are set. I do hope that's not changed during the Tour.

Just doing the maths (which is rough) it looks like they expanded it by 2% over what the max was given the speed of the stage. I’m not sure when they did that / or if my maths is exactly right

Comparison of today's performances (given in w/kgs) versus 2022 perfomances. Pogacar and Jonas-i-was-almost-dead-two-weeks-ago-vingegaard are pulling stuff we have never seen before and a guy like Landa is basically as good as the 2022 version of the two aliens.

 

Ok.

Ok.

We are back at the level of US Postal on Alpe d'Huez, Marco Pantani needing to brake in the corners while climbing Ventoux or the Portuguese wonderboys sprinting up the mountains in their home races :d

 

At least I was entertained :p
