Pogacar kills it, gains time on other GC contendors, who mostly sit bunched up around 1:30 to 1:50 behind him on GC. I wonder if we’ll see their teams joining forces against UAE?

Roglic lost 0:44, Thomas 1:18, those guys are normally good TT’ers but they are riding injured. The bitty climbers lost like 2:00.

The opi-omi sign fan also faces prison, but I wouldn’t think that will happen - still, it’s France and this is the Tour de France so . . . suspended sentence, community service, etc maybe? I dunno how the French legal system works. There’s no jury trial.

Otherwise, zzzzz it was a TT day. There’s another TT on stage 20 and it’s not a terribly mountainous route, so wouldn’t seem great for the little climbers.
