I think Pog wanted to gift that to Vingegaard for yesterday but Mas sprinting 300m out made him chase

 

Good to see some form from Dan Martin. Good sign for Tokyo

Nah. He wanted the win. Mikkel Bjerg was pretty clear about that to Danish TV

Don't make the mistake that Roglic made!  Ground your enemies into the dust and make wine cups of their skulls!

Pogacar after today's stage in the interview: "Why should I be worried?"  

 

He's right of course, it's a bit odd the interviewer somehow tried to seriously let Pogacar say anything could happen or something

Defending Michael Woods' 27th place in the GC from Ion Izagirre who's in the lead group and might overtake him?  

 

It's either that or going on a useless chase for a 6th place for Greipel  

 

But since it's too late to actually catch the group and so Greipel's 6th place isn't happening, maybe it's a punishment for what has been - let's be fair - a godawful Tour by them.

They started with 5 thanks to the inclusion of the token Israeli rider, Greipel and Froome. Dan Martin was clearly too tired after the Giro. At least Woods gave it a go
