well Froome attacked him in the finish, when he saw that Sagan wanted to give the stage win to Bodnar, Froome tried it, ofc it´s understandable because there bonifications seconds, but whe Sagan noticed Froomes attempt, he immediately brought him to his senses :d

 

 

That thing after 45 seconds? That's not an attack from Froome, just spending his last energy to gain some more seconds and be ahead of Bodnar :d 

 

Anyway, great win from Sagan of course, now let's see tomorrow to see if Froome didn't go to far today :p

unfotunately tomorrows stage is shortened, but logical and right because apparently there very bad wind conditions in Mont Ventoux expected tomorrow. the finish will be 6 km below of the Mont Ventoux at Chalet-Reynard.

 

Mountain passes & hills 1

 

 

ofc such a pity, because Mont Ventoux is defiitely something special .

The best mountain in the Tour de France is gone tomorrow :(

 

Chalet Reynard is not that safe from the wind by the way, depending on the wind direction of course. If it comes from out of the open (from the red arrow), I guess it will be very stormy at the new finish line:

Tonight's two guests in the Belgian late night Tour de France talkshow: "Froome jumped behind Sagan because he knew Sagan is the best rider in this Tour" and "Sagan is not riding this Tour de France, he's riding his own competition right now." :d

    • Slovakia is technically returning through Czechia :)
    • We've been told that during the past 3 tournaments as well. There won't be many opportunities left. While I obviously believe they can do something big this year, it will be crucial not to screw up the quarterfinal game from the very beginning.
    • Italy will boycott the Azeri stage for protest against the international federation.
    • Likely for Tannheimer, quite unlikely for Galmace Paulin. She's far from being assured to even start in the WC before turning 20. Basically she'd have to get a spot this season, which could actually happen if she takes the extra-ticket at the JWCH. Anyway I don't see her making her way to gold in Oslo. Tänglander has a few seasons to do it, we'll see.       Quite surprisingly so, indeed. Barring her horrendous finish Richard would have made it 2 in one go. We should have some more names in the list in 2025.
    • There are some of Slovakia's finest young squads at the World Juniors in recent years
    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
