    It's not easy to win the Tour De France 4 times, go down to level 0, start from scratch and come up to this level. You gotta give it to Froome! His resilience in enduring all those dismal times of being dropped early on numerous stages is just phenomenal! 🙌🙌

    Chapeau to Pidcock for winning on the iconic Alpe d'Huez in his first TdF, though to be fair the breakaway was given a pretty long rope by the JV-led peloton. Tremendous respect for Chris Froome too, not just for finishing third, but also for being able to keep up in the downhill drag race with Pidcock, after overcoming all the physical and mental barriers that he must have faced in the years following his horrific crash. I am sure that he is realistic enough to realise that he is not the CF of old in terms of GC contention but still has the courage, fighting spirit and tenacity of that great champion.
    It was also good to see Pogacar back to his old self, though as he himself admitted today was more a day to reassess himself after his implosion on Stage 11 than try and get back all the time he had lost. Look forward to the battles in the days to come.
    I was surprised to see Roglic falling away so quickly on the last two days, though. I would have expected him to be with the leaders till at least a couple of km from the finish. Is it because of the same injury that he is carrying or do JV want him fresh for the Pyrenean stages?

They would let LUCK play on the sides, whether good or bad for either jonas or roglic, hence keeping the 1-2 punch of attacks on gc contenders we will see in the coming years. Just brilliant tactics. Roglic will have his good luck time.

    Is there a way to see who climbed the Alp d'Huez the fastest, bottom to top, on this day? I am very happy to see Chris Froome on the podium for the stage but just curious about how quickly the individual riders ascended the final climb. Great commentary and coverage of the race. Thank you.

    In the US, NBC was showing golf on TV, so if you don't want to pay for their streaming, you had to wait till afternoon and their 2-hour condensed rebroadcast - in which they skipped the whole first half of the race, and showed, and I'm not kidding, NOT ONE SECOND of Pidcock's stage winning descent. Thank god for LR.

    Post super-tuck Era, who is the best descender? Is it still Mojoric on a dropper? Or perhaps is Pidcock even better?

    Wow, Pidcock deserves every bit of that victory! Huge balls on the decent. And finished it off beautyfully on the Alpe!
    I think we're in for a treat in the Pyrenees, boys! Pogacar clearly had an off day the other day, so the fight is still on!
    I just hope they give us some great racing and don't put everything on the time trial...

    That Pidcock descent was insane. He just banks it into corners like he's done each of them hundreds of times before and knows exactly what line to take.
    The GC sprint at the end was interesting - G definitely had the door shut in his face. Don't they have to sprint in a straight line or something? :P

    For me Pidcock was fav once he got over becuase Ciccone and Meitjes did far more work to get across. Sursprise for me is Froome who also did lot of work to get over and looked to struggle on decent and small climbs , chapeau to him.

    It would be foolish to claim the tour is over now just as it was foolish to claim it was over a couple days ago. But, if Jonas can avoid having a bad day in the mountains where he might lose a couple minutes to Pog then he has to be the favorite at this point. Of course, the final TT on the last Saturday could then be the difference maker and if Tadej is within a minute before the TT then the tour could be back to Pog. This is turning out to be one of the best tours in recent memory.
