EF get's their stage win. Good for them! Vander Poel back in yellow (very temporary)
Yeah it was weird to see Pogacar sprint at the end when they were clearly giving the yellow away. Probably Visma messing with UAE and forcing Tadej to respond.
But isn’t that why we love watching cycling…there’s always statements being made and little digs being put in. Clearly UAE was not going to burn their matches on this stage. I found in fascinating that Quinn Simmons didn’t get any help from the guy he was riding with when Healy was only 1 min up the road. Those two could have easily caught him IF they both were pulling. I knew as the time went up that Simmons wasn’t getting any help from the other guy. He tried to gap him once that I saw but didn’t quite have the legs to hold it. At any rate, they rode a nice race and it was good to see Simmons put his nose in the wind.

Actually my first thought was that I think Cavendish’s record probably will be broken by Tadej. Hope Almeida is ok. Jonas looked strong.

I imagine Tadej breaks every record including Armstrong's "unofficial" 7 tour wins. I feel like he's holding back just so the rest of the field doesn't look too foolish.
