    1. I believe Jumbo-Visma was setting up Sepp Kuss to win the stage! Now hear me out:

      1/ JV did not show much interest in the win yesterday.
      2/ JV has given big tdf wins away before (Last TT tdf 2022 to WVA)
      3/ Sepp Kuss is the best classic climber in the world and he did deserve to win

      Questions?

      Would TG dare following if Sepp Kuss starts attacking and driving away?

      Doubt it as he would open himself for JV counters. JV could just follow TG at no risk and if Sepp Kuss could not take it. JV would have all the advantages and TG would not dare another big (time) loss to JV.

      Therefore JV chose to play mindgames in the end. Sepp Kuss crashed bad and the plan cancelled.

      JV chose the sprint, even giving TG the advantage of getting Adam Yates up for the spint. Imagine now, if TG with all advatages had lost a 3rd week sprint or JV had just been close?

      The whole world would have come around. How on earth can TP win if JV can out sprint him in 3rd weeks.

      JV took an calculated win it all or lose nothing, he still won the tdf. Rinding away from Pogacar up hill would not have proven anything, not nearly as much as a spring loss to TP.

      Remember you have seen many great things from different tour riders. But you have never seen a 2 time TDF Champ give two stage wins way to team members in the TDF. Imagine that.

    2. Nothing Vingegaard could do. He can't beat Pogačar in a sprint, and Pogačar wanted Yates to come up. Think the whole plan Jumbo Visma had for the day crashed with Kuss' crash 🙁

    3. Like the Nostradamus of commentators, Le Lanterne Rouge sees what we can’t see, and it will not be unseen. Thank you, old boy.

    4. Campenaerts has has HAS to win super combative in Paris. Possibly the most comprehensive effort for this award I have ever seen.

      GC Kuss :((

    5. Great Tour this year 🎉 especially the helpers stood out for me, they did an awesome Job. Glad Jasper didn't win in Paris though 😅
      Rip Gino ❤

    6. I love Thibaut Pinot. For you non-French cycling fans who might not comprehend who Thibaut is for us and what he means to us, well the "Pinot turn" crowd is the perfect answer

    7. When do you get access to the onboard the World Feed has? Also, when do you join Bob and Phil? Your insight into the team dynamics and goals of the riders is more interesting to watch than Sam/Paul/Brent. The only thing you don't have is the Sam take on randomness from the stage. (: Love all your videos, thanks for putting in the time. Hope you continue to do so for years to come.

    8. When i see 2 riders sprinting each other in this mountains, looking behind at other cyclist completely tired and demolished, it reminds me of Armstrong years 😮
