Peter Sagan, we thank you for all your achievements, with which you have brought us great joy for years. You are a legend of legends and what you have achieved will be difficult for anyone to repeat!!!

5:46 "and Cees Bol got up there, even for a podium, or did he even steal it!"
The legendary words by the legendary Carlton Kirby, commenting from a parallel universe.

Jonas Vingegaard – the QUIET Champion – not sure there has been a more understated TdF Champion or is that because the media is ignoring him ? – few expected Jonas to WIN this back-back TdF – everyone claimed last year was a FLUKE and when push came to shove Tadej would stomp all over him – but it was a masterclass in racing nous by Jonas – he won or kept it close whenever he had to – who thought that 9 second lead would stand-up over the entire race? – he is mentally stronger than he is physically – unflappable – massiv pressure on his shoulders without Primos and with WVA doing everything to win himself a stage rather than the race – abandoning Jonas more than he should have – WVA is starting to look more and more like a Marc Soler clone – what the hell tactics was Soler riding by ? – fair enough – I can appreciate WVA feels he can win the TdF himself and it is becoming too obvious that he might need to find his own team to pursue that – not saying he can't win the TdF but not sure he has the physique for it – he is a BIG powerhouse guy – most GC guys are higher W:kg – re: he was 3rd in the ITT and lookie who was ahead of him – WVA also tends to be inconsistent and crashes more than he should – Jonas is CONSISTENT day in day out – even Tadej seems to indulge in annual "bad day" CRACK during looooooooooong alpine climbs – Jumbo Visma made this a LOT closer than it should have been – and Tadej made it a LOT closer than it should have been – Jumbo was ALWAYS pulling on the front during the flats and low cat climbs with low tactical advantage burning out the entire team when they were needed – too many times it was 3-4 UAE against Jonas alone and isolated on the BIG climbs – Jumbo seemed poorly utilised and not too many of their riders had good TdF efforts – they seemed flat and tired – not the powerhouse we expected – I would say UAE team outperformed them when it counted on the BIG climbs and only Jonas clawed his way to the podium – a cracker of a TdF nonetheless even with Tadej damaged goods – all things being equal we should have another 5-8 years of this rivalry ahead of us – hard to stay at the top though – just ask Egan "who-he" Bernal – the latest wunderkind to implode – Pogacar SHOULD already be on number FOUR in a row but …. he has WASTED his opportunities – Jonas has been opportunistic and is getting better …

Biniam Ghirmay was great, he would have won if he was led out by Vander Poel.

I am glad for Beniam Germany from Eritrea

7:47 Jonas looks like a kid compared to his gigantic teammates. 🤣
