'strap in mofos!' should be an opening of all Cade Media videos from now on😂 amazing and cheers for another great episode 😊

Van Aert being shut down by another rider for the second time this Tour is criminal

Pogacar is the race favorite. Do not underestimate him.

Chris's encyclopedic knowledge here is *chef's kiss*. Cracking podcast everyone

Girmay does an excellent job of surfing the field, he doesn’t get hung up on having the perfect lead out, he uses his team to keep him close and safe then uses the best wheel he can follow to get him to HIS sprint point. Can you imagine in a few years when he is with a team with a perfect lead out ?

Nice T-shirt

Yes, you are. Everyone who was ready to count Pog out yesterday is a muppet.

Reckon Girmay has been studying Top Class sprinters from track & field. Totally focused on being on full throttle, but relaxed as possible. No wasted movement, probably controls the breathing, to some point. Slick Central ! Hope this Covid resurgence f # ks off & does one ! Like Police Chief Brody said in JAWS 2 "I ain't going through that sh # t again !" Chris & "Sam Fender" dovetailing, great stuff :)

Cav was forced to swerve, if you watch slow motion replay. Guy in red stops pedalling after a full gas. Relegation unfair imo given that sudden situation.

You guys (and gal) are rocking it with your TdF coverage.

How can you underestimate the No1 rider in the world 😂

If Pogačar rides smart he'll win easily.

I think Sagan was the start of this style of sprinter. Btw great job guys. Shoutout to Emily 🎉

These intros are getting me pumped!

This TdF coverage is excellent. And great to see the coverage of the Women's Giro at the end. Great job!

"There's a lot of . . . transfer of germs that happens when things are wet . . . um, I'm assuming it's that, I don't actually know." Eat your heart out, Louis Pasteur!

Yes hello, could we all just get a link to that shirt!

I don't even care if there is a race or not, I could listen to you guys everyday!

Don’t think we are underestimating Pog or Jonas. But we absolutely overestimated UAE and their Directors

Bini's favourite 'sprint' is a little uphill! He said it.

Great show! Chris is probably the most likable guy in cycling KZfaq.

I think we have a new Fluff Up of the Day on the Cavendish call 😉

G for the Hawaiian shirt

Wowwww,I love your analysis

I have watched Girmay over the past couple of years, he has slowly got better each year to where he is now. He is such an impressive young man, not only on his bike, but off it as well where it matters just as much. Chapeau to him.

A chill jersey tangent. Escape Collective’s race podcast does a classification for the rider closest to 1 hr back that’s over 1 hr

Chris got it spot on. Jonas is proving himself to be the better grand tour rider whereas pog is imo the best all out bike racer in the world right now. You can never count him out because of that, he’s so good at finding ways to win

Thanks for the chapters!

30 seconds in and I'm utterly distracted and befuddled by Chris's shirt. Too funny,

On the idea that sometimes when you win one sprint, it leads to multiple others, not only did Phillipsen win most sprints last year, but in 2021, Cav won four stages WHEN HE WAS 36.

Love that intro

I LOVE THIS SERIES

Roglig in France becomes the most unlucky guy on earth, it's something to admire...

Jonas (and Roglic) are very smart bike riders. I think they use their teams and their energy reserves better. Pog is still probably the best bike rider I've ever seen. He would be better if he was a little more careful with his energy.

Love seeing king BINI smashing it again 💪

I agree with u sis ,BINI WILL DO IT AGAIN👍👍👍🇪🇷🌿🇪🇷🌿💙🌿

Pogacar is NOT the underdog here. It depends on tactics. Vingegaard only squeaked a win yesterday because tactical mistakes by Pog, possibly missing food and bonking.

Remco is basically doing what Dumoulin did.

After a couple of injuries, Frustrations he was the most underestimated player in the tour , but he & the team worked so hard then insured the dream . Congratulation Girmay as well as IWC

Totally agree with what you guys are saying about Pogacar and Vingegaard. And every casual or hardcore fan of the Tour should be watching this video starting at 18:57 and REALLY listening to what you guys are saying in response to that person's comment or question. I've been saying this since the first time Jonas won the Tour. Tadej is the more talented rider overall. Tadej is literally one of the best overall Road racers ever. Is top 5 or at the worst top 10 in the world at every single thing needed to win in bike racing. But... Jonas is THE BEST of his time, possibly ever, at the Tour de France, how the stages are setup, and the high altitude long steep climbs of the Tour. NOBODY is as good as he is in the long Mtn stages. And that is where the Tour is won or lost. So even though Tadej is coming in to this Tour just CRUSHING every other race and in the best form of his life, Jonas is THE BEST climber of his time and maybe ever. And what's even more impressive, is that Jonas is clearly not at 100%. The crash almost killed him and took him away from training and racing for over 3 months!!! Then to see what he was able to accomplish yesterday is just insane. He has the heart of a champion and for sure is the favorite to win now. Great video guys!

Where can I order that Cav shirt from? oh ya keep up the great work, you are all AWESOME

Love Chris...more please....

Seems there needs to be some qualifiers added to the safety cut-off distance. Minimum group size at time of incident, perhaps (like 15% of the total peloton)? I'd say they could judge based on if the incident was reasonably unavoidable, but there's too much grey area around "reasonably". Certainly doesn't seem right to be in a group of two, have a self-inflicted crash, and not lose any time to the guy in front, especially when we're talking about a top GC contender pushing to consolidate his ranking.

Last year Tadej won Tourmalet and everybody started saying there comes the counter-punch - Tadej will win this TDF. Then we saw what happened. We never know what they are feeling. One thing from strava is that the first week, Pogi was AVERAGING 1600 - 2200 calories per race, now he is averaging 4000. The tiredness is kicking in.

Didn't one of Cade's cast predicted that Bini would win, at least, THREE stages?

You messed up the question. It was why is everyone saying JV can ride into form. But last year Pog was going to get fatigued from lack of training.

I think Pogacar could win this year TDF but he ride more like he try to entertain the crowd rather than actually win it. His spectacular attacks are just waste of energy in fight with someone like Vingegaard. At some point he might just have crisis, that will make him loose plenty of time and the whole race. From the spctator perspective I like Pogacar, because he at least make this race fun to watch. No matter if he win or loose people will like him and he will be great cyclist anyway.

Pogi could have won stage 11 if he attacked on the final climb instead I think. Because there was no way Jonas was gonna attack first.

Definitely appreciate the gentle correction of Jonas being the best stage racer, not just a TDF merchant. He wins way too much (and too resoundlingly) throughout the year to say he's just the best "TDF rider."

We salute Eritrean Biniam Girmay, the new sprint boss 🔥🇪🇷

Love the bad attitude intro! 🤣

Remco is gonna be a bag of dust in the 3rd week

Bini will be nice in green, and Green in Nice!

Can we keep Chris around every day please?

I would argue that Sagan was a similar type of sprinter to Girmay.

Great review of the Tour, etc. everyone is underestimating Pogi! His team is by far the strongest team at the tour! I believe Pog and UAE are going to go on the defense and then take time when they can! Plus Jonas will come apart in week three, from the lack of foundational training. 🍺😄

Nice editing, Emily

Abra is going for the KOM points tomorrow for sure. 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴

Cavendish relegated!! Don’t know what finish you guys were watching… Cav almost KILLED Coquard with that CRAZY, DANGEROUS swerve… that was insane… well deserved relegation! Well done commissaires!👏🏾

On the topic of Roglic being give the same time as Evenepoel on the previous stage during the crash, the real question is why the race organizers had the 3k rule in effect for what was essentially a primarily uphill finish? The only justification that I could see is that there was the downhill run, where Roglic crash, that directly preceded the short uphill drag into the finish. Perhaps the organizers were anticipating a large group hitting that section at the same time and wanted to 'protect' the GC riders if that was indeed a large group finish?

Nice analysis! Philipsen without MVDP seems a bit confused, he was on the left by himself (I mean no one was there) and he wasted lot of energy by the time he got same line to the other sprinter.

thanks for timestamping the segments...

Bini was out of the picture at the flamme rouge, it was a great lead out from Teunissen to get him in position and then the perfect finish from Girmay

Remco also lost 20+ minutes in the Vuelta in one stage last year in the 2nd or 3rd week. He was leaps and bounds in teh lead up to that point....hmmmm. Maybe, maybe not.

Not morkof 🤣- Mørkøv

tim declercq Would win the Hawaiian shirt every time, like he’s just there trucking along the pelaton!

Err guys...the red numbers are for the most combative rider, not the lantern rouge 😅

The road furniture was not marked or marshaled. It's the race organisers fault!. Roglic should be given the same time as the finishing Peloton.

Just gonna be pleasent to see Vingegaard in yellow arriving in Nice

give us the 'le juice' jersey!

Remco needs to sort out his downhill skills, it holds him back

Vingegaard gets the special jumbo gear so he will be fine

clip in MFKs

thb i still wonder how the teams can be all in on the marginal gains thing but then don't do everything possible to protect their riders from any illness (especially at a Grandtour with no weakness possible for 3 weeks straight through). Would have expected staff with masks and teams carrying airfilters everywhere Just like their mattresses for the riders but obviously they still have space for optimization in this part of grandtour-cycling 😅

I sure don’t enve Total Energies!

Last 5k, im going down next to the fastest rider i can find nearby 😂

Yesterday: Is Pogacar literally throwing? Today: pogacar is literally god.

Και όπως έλεγε και ένα αγγλικό πανκ συγκρότημα τη δεκαετία του '80 "Well this land is our own, the freedom to roam Is the single demand that we make To live as we choose, to win or to lose Our birthright to freedom shall stay We want the right to ride Let the rider decide"

Jimmy, give it up. Jonas is the most boring rider I’ve ever seen. No spark. No excitement. Total vanilla. Tadej is the most thrilling rider to come along since a juiced up Lance Armstrong.

Is the guy with the one white one black shoe the guy with the upside down 13 number?

Raw Glitch has a thing for the Flaw!

Jimmy, get yourself a bottle of Madiran, you won't regret it!!

At the absolute top level everything is won on the margins independent of sport. Not being able to train for a while is that margin.

It becomes cool to be Eritrean in cycling world.

The crash rule should be same time if you finish in the same group

Who crashes the most out of the GC contenders? Primoz or Geraint?

The person who wrote in about Pogacar and double-standards is actually right. In the sense that it clearly shows people will always find excuses for Pogacar no matter what. Last year the excuse was that he didn't have the best preparations and Jonas had the better team in the mountains. This year when Jonas had an even worse preparation, and a worse mountains team..... new excuses will have to be made up. Let's see what the new excuses will be.

people just like drama. the more a story is dramatic the more they will support for it to happen. Jonas wining is in this case some example for this.

tp won't win any sprints on those 165mm cranks (or his whole current set up imo). i don't think jv will win the tour either, not this year.

I blame Jimmy and Francis for TotalEnergies getting their bikes nicked. The thieves clearly watched the video of them drooling all over the ENVE bikes in their TdF Bikes Review…🚓

I don't want to see smooth sprinters. I want to see that they are putting everything into it a la the nodding donkey Milan or going back some years Abdujaparov.

The 2 relegations were well deserved today.

There’s good reason for people to hate the Merckx comparisons… Pogacar is most comparable to Hinault, Merckx is incomparable.

Cavdog t-shirt, yeah?

Tomorrow is gonna be a roglic break, They’re gonna do a 2022 stage 7 trick and keep roglic in at the top 4. One can hope, but definitely a 70% break away chance and if the peloton’s not gonna be lazy.

Pogi is being underestimated 100%. First, the final time trial is close to where he lives. He will have done many recon rides on the course on his TT-bike. In last years TT, one of the justifications that Jonas was able to gain so much time in the TT was that Pogi was not able to really do recon rides on the course due to his injury. Second, it was said that one of the strategies by Visma last year was to make the race extremely hard for Pogi right from the start, because they knew that it was impossible for him to get enough training in to raise his training stress scores to his usual level and hence they would eventually wear him out. This year it seems that UAE are going with the same strategy. Don't be surprised if Jonas suddenly cracks.

Testing for Covid in the peloton is kinda garbage. Let them ride if they want to.

Aaaaand Cavendish has been hit with a penalty

I’ve been thinking about this, for me unless Jonas attacks hard in the mountains. Pogi will win this tour. Theres no other way. Jonas has no team to attack pog. Or we will see role reversal and they will use Almeida to attack Jonas over and over like they did to pog. Either way it’s going to be exciting.

I don't agree Jonas is the best TDF rider.. his tactics might be the best.. nut NO WAY is he better than Pogi. Johan Bruyneel said that Pogi would have already won the TDF 4 times if he had better tactics...
