Loving the race this year. Honestly, I think Pogi went out front to get out of the dust and get some fresh air. This race has everything. A feast for cycling lovers.

Thank you Eurosport for a thumbnail that doesnt spoil the result

Good day for the Canadians! 🇨🇦

It's commendable how Pog takes the initiative and puts his face to the wind to get things done.

Congrats Derek Gee all of Canada is proud of you!

That was the best stages so far from one of the best first weeks of the Tour! Pogacar and Remco were racing so aggressively it made Jonas look scared. I cant wait to see what week two brings us!

Fire cracker of a stage. Couldnt take my eyes off of it.

Wow those dust...

Thanks so much for posting

so sad for Jasper 😢

Love the Freibism ‘the criminally underrated Anthony Turgis’ as finally his hero makes his mark.

Gee third on the stage! WooT!

The best stage of the Tour so far.

Booo on Visma! Start pulling!!!

This is the best summary video

This year i want Pogi to win because Vingegaard only follows for 2 weeks until he can drop Pogi in the mountains. It's a fair tactic but it's not fun to watch...

The dust kicked up will harm the lungs.

Next stage has a small climb at the end. Might be some shenanigans.

If they do the gravel going forward then they need to rearrange things so the riders are not breathing in dust from the motor vehicles

loved this stage. pogi made it even more entertaining.

ohh myy Girmay stayed in the top ten for the stage wowww

Surely inhaling that dust causes lungs problems. There will be some coughing tonight

Why did Bob Rolle (sp?) keep saying cobbles instead of gravel? Same thing for some areas?

Got to see this live at sector 5, straight to watch the big TV energy was electric for 5 hours ! Amazing stage

Any true professional athlete will improvise adapt, overcome all obstacles to win that is a true champion he doesn’t cry like a little girl He just gets it done.

congra pogacha

Go Pogacar!

This was a fun stage to watch. Way more fun than a typical flat stage.

Awesome stage!!

I thought for sure MVP was going to give this a crack. He really hasn’t been at it this tour for some reason. Did I miss something, was he injured or something in the lead up ?

May Creator keep us on asphalt...what is it...dust, dirt, mud if it rains...🥵

Was a great stage

Next year's prologue: TT on a CX circuit, in a stadium setting, indoors, at night

Racing on unpaved roads was common back in the day. Awesome.

The dust will effect their lungs into the next day or more, not the smartest idea

On paper pogacha needed to be 3 minutes far from Jonas at the end of the first week. But Jonas be able to cut 2 minutes deficit meaning visma did great job.

에펙 레이스가 아니라 에픽 피이스가 맞는듯. 그래블이 별다른 변별력도 없고 그냥 선수들 힘들게만 했다. 중간에 업힐 큰 거 몇 개는 넣어줬다면 더욱 흥미진진했을 건데...아쉽다.

Pogi , in my humble opinion , made a bad jugment for this stage or maybe he wasn't his decision . He could have race with Remco and vingegaard till the and after they catch the brakeaway . Why ? Be cause : or they could've drop vingegaard or they could have do a battle at the end of the race and the winner would have been one of two Tadej or Remco because they have a good sprint better than the danish rider . And there is something else to add , they could have put a really nasty gap on Roglic . I think Roglic is the nemesis for Remco .😄 Well , I think this is a lesson to think about it .

I still think Vingegaard has the potential to take minutes back in the big mountain stages yet to come.

Always cool to be the first comment. Love these gravel races, these guys are true bike heroes.

Which is more entertaining to watch, this stage with all the variety and drama? or 200kms of nothing much ending with 5kms of sprint teams lining up for a 60-second blitz? Very much Simon's and Dan's point on GCN episode #599, I think.

Throwing away your bike seems to be a thing now

If I was riding I'd hate the gravel. As a fan it's really fun. Great tour so far. Too bad the Anchovy wouldn't pull when he, Remco and Pogi got away.

Very great first week. Jonas wise to race his own race. He need not cooperate with anyone. Class act.

Windbreaker fan ??

JV makes chris froome sky train very entertaining

Turgis is literally zigzagging to left and right in fatigue at the final meters. How is this not considered deviation? He could be considered blocking Pidcock

It's a pity that Vingo refused to work with Pogi and Remco, when both attacked with over 70 km to go. For a few minutes, it seemed like this could become a stage for the history books! I would have loved to see an epic battle between the giants for GC and the stage win!

I thought Pidcock was going to win 😢

Jonas is such a boring rider ngl hope pogi wins it

Seems like many people have no clue about bike racing. Pogacar is riding with his legs and not his head.... Jonas is riding with his head and his legs. If you wanna win the Tour you have to use both just like Jonas.

driving pharmacy 🤣

JV really embarrassing…

As I thought, the course wasn't difficult enough to make a real GC race.

Nine stages done Vingegaard has won 7 of the 9. Each time he ties pogacar it’s a win for v, b c he came into tour undertrained and fragile P has <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="75">1:15</a> here on gravel he needed to get approx <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="165">2:45</a> on v, zero he got B c in high mtns stages 14 15 v will get approx 3 min on p P lost tour today, on gravel What v has done so far on such training is spectacular

visma was really amazing with those magnificent riders : Van Aert back and fort to help the front of the peleton , Jorgenson , such a powerfull rider that could manage POgacar's attack , WOW !!! , and the danish rider , after that bad and seriously crash with a short and not so good training , also managed to keep up the pace with the slovenian rider Tadej Pogacar ! Wow and WOW ! A blowing mind performance of visma lease a bike , for sure ! How are they doing such amazing races with cyclists so seriously injured ,especially in the Tour of France .All the spring till the Tour they didn't made anything at all , no noticeable achievements and crashed everywhere , no offense! I mean ... this is a wonder ! Isn't it ? It doesn't matter that Pogacar won so many powerfull races and Giro this year till now , it doesn't matter that Yates , Almeida and Ayuso are such good and powerfull riders ! It doesn't matter their results !?! All that counts is that , somehow , by pure visma miracles their riders are such astonishing riders with no match in peleton !?! Is UAE so weak and disorganized ? Just make a simple comparision between this two teams :visma and UAE . What their riders has in their records ? Or , how are their standings in this year achievements ? I mean , suddenly UAE riders have a bad condition or something ? I really don't get it ?

Jonas Vingegard is the Alain Prost of bike racing. He is without charisma he is calculating and boring racer if we can even call a him racer.. Pogacar and Remco are like Schumacher and Senna. Always ready to race flat out and super talented.

I'm sorry but Vingo is just annoying. Never cooperating, refusing to help anyone, never pulling a single watt for anyone or come out front.

I wish that Vinegard wouldn't be such a coward and actually take a turn at the front. He always does that and it drives me crazy

all dopers

Jonas is a boring fellow. He doesn’t deserve to win.

Girmay was in another group behind…what he talking about? If Girmay was there he would’ve beaten him
