Vingegaard might be in yellow, but what a rider Wout van Aert is. Best all round cyclist by an absolute mile. He's making the feats of Sagan in years gone by look pretty average. I just wonder if a mountain light tour would ever give him a chance at GC... 🤔

Wout Van Aert has been my rider of the Tour also. Stage wins, green jersey, had a chance of the polka dot jersey until Vingegaard took todays stage and after all that what a team mate he has been for Vingegaard.

Gutted

Had to take Son 1 to a dentist appointment just before that final climb so missed it

Agree 100% about Wout Van Aert

 Love Jumbo so I’ll be routing for Roglic, but Pogacar is a machine when he gets going. Look out for Vingegaar too. Can’t wait.

Got Roglic wrong but my God, the other two have been in a league/ up a mountain of their own!!!

NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY

‘Tour de France: Unchained’

Magnificent ‘fly-on-the-wall’ documentary of the 2022 tour.

Can’t wait for the race to start again…
