Ooouf 😮💨....what an episode and recap!! This tour is sensational and I'm gobbling up every minute of it!! Thank you Rob and Matt - both of you are utterly brilliant. A much needed fix on rest day... I'm already fizzing and ready for tomorrow 🤓
What a week! I couldn't be more content to see two of my very favorites nailing it to bring home the bacon. I'm talking, naturally, about Tadej, the Slovenian wonder boy, & Biniam, the boy wonder of Eritrea, where cycling is on the verge of overtaking football (soccer) as the nation's no. one sport. Go, guys!
Oh, I'd forgotten, in the comments above, to add my other all time favorite who made the week so special. I'm talking about the Manx Missile himself, Sir Mark Cavendish. I don't know about any if you out there, but I for one was euphoric when my man did what he set out to do in delaying his retirement for another year, choosing to contest sprints against guys about half his age (Cav being 39 years young this season)--that is, to break the all time record for Tour stage victories set by Eddie Merkz in the 1970's (34 wins). Now the great Cav holds a record 35 victories, a tally not soon to be broken (depending, perhaps, on the longevity & consistency of Tadej Pojacar's cycling career).
Great material. Great team of people on eurosport cycling, made me subscribe to discovery+ , worth every penny. To all those Jonas haters, remeber, he keeps this race on the edge, coming in as an underdog defing the odds of him even beeing at the start.
Carapaz making a powerful point. He has been inexplicably left out of the Ecuadorian Olympic Cycling team despite being by far the best rider in Ecuador. It seems he has an enemy in the Ecuadorian cycling federation.
I believe that Ecuador only gets one rider on the Olympic team for some reason. So they had to pick between Carapaz and Narvaez, and his results have been better lately. Carapaz hasn’t done much since he joined EF.
Jonas did not close any gaps by himself... he latched onto Pogacar's wheel to catch up with Remco... then he was the tick on Matteo's wheel to catch Pogacar... he did not work because he knew they will drop him without his team..
21:10 You've completely missed the point, by choosing not to work, jonas may have taken what appeared to be the "safe option" but he's also created a rod for his own back that will come back to bite him. Refusing to work with Pog and Remco to put time on Roglic has also ensured that Almeida and Ayuso remain a GC threat. UAE have already shown they can isolate Jonas in the mountains, and with Ayuso and Almeida only a minute behind on GC, jonas has only ensured that UAE have the option to do to jonas what jumbo visma did to Pog with Kuss, Roglic and jonas. This exposes Remco as well, now he'll have to contend with Roglic AND Ayuso, Almeida as well as Pog. Regardless of the perceived "risk" not working with Remco and Pog was a mistake that could play out with devastating effect in the high mountains. Clearly jonas lacks the team to neutralise UAE this year, he'll more than likely be isolated at some point, whereas UAE will still have Yates, Aleida, Ayuso and Pog (if not more) who in combination can work jonas (and Remco) over with repeated attacks that he'll have to cover. To conclude, jonas' conservatism/cowardice (call it what you will) and his preference for the safety of being wrapped in cotton wool by his team mates could cost him dearly in the high mountains. And I hope it does, because the drama of his capitulation will be enthralling viewing.
There ? Why we haven’t seen the video when Jonas changing the bike. Tour de France studio on big ?. If we have seen him from the beginning where jonas strat to change .A big big change could be happened from pogi or GC What a miss. I don’t why Commentators tooking the gab pogi have to Joni instead of the opportunity he have To be do. ?????
@@epincion the first changing bike happened before the grave road section, So at least we should have the helicopter shoot. On my view there ? Need to ……… .

Lovely exchange between Rob and a very articulate Matt. Thank you.
Tadej and Jonas are like the sharpest spear and the hardest shield. It’s a bliss to witness their rivalry!
I could listen to Matt all day.
Crying yet again over this amazing Tour. Matt’s soliloquy on Cav was incredibly moving. Matt pls be safe on that moto this week!
Fab episode, love the behind the scenes bits and chat with you and Matt. 😊

0:03 "Ok, they're in frame in 3..2..1.. ACTION!"
Bini is not only birilant spirinter he is also wise ,humbel ,smart

this tour has been awesome. i'm not certain pog is gonna walk away with this
Love how Robs accent is more Lanky than on his commentary love it
I noticed that too. Well, it is a rest day for him too. 😂Amazing that he can switch accents so easily.
Why not mention the UCI penalty during the ITT for a beautiful scene .
Про Марка Кэвендиш можно фильм снять.
What did he say at the start? ...got distracted...
Jonas did not close any gaps by himself... he latched onto Pogacar's wheel to catch up with Remco... then he was the tick on Matteo's wheel to catch Pogacar... he did not work because he knew they will drop him without his team..
Tbf is not surprising given the circumstances
Sensible tactics as he rides into the race
Master Technique
Rob
What happened to Jens?

Lmao, the experts do not agree with you at all.
"...blockbuster GC gravel battle..."
Remco talking smack again
Be nice if Cav wins another stage - that will shut up Merckx
First view ❤
There ?
Why we haven’t seen the video when Jonas changing the bike.
Tour de France studio on big ?.
If we have seen him from the beginning where jonas strat to change .A big big change could be happened from pogi or GC
What a miss.
I don’t why Commentators tooking the gab pogi have to Joni instead of the opportunity he have To be do.
?????
No cars or moto allowed on the gravel sections just heli and fixed camera’s so its pretty random what got filmed
@@epincion the first changing bike happened before the grave road section,
So at least we should have the helicopter shoot.
On my view there ?
Need to ……… .
Racing is dangerous foolish .
