Loving this Tour so far. It’s the most competitive and unpredictable one in many years. That was crazy seeing Alaphilippe going back to his team car to get his own water bottles because he had no teammates left going into the final climb. Holy cow the GC riders were attacking constantly on that mountain!

The majority seem to feel Alaphilippe got screwed, but there was still another climb and he was popped. I don't think he could have gained enough on the descent to help the losses he was going to have on that final climb.

Should be some interesting conversations within Team Ineos tonight.

As if this year's tour couldn't get any more unpredictable this happens. Can't wait to see how it plays out. We could have a dash for cash on the Champs Elysees.

I’m no fan of The Evil Empire (Sky/Ineos) but this is the most enjoyable LeTour in many years. Once upon a time this is how the race looked every year before the Wall fell and state sponsored doping methods made their way to the West,

Chapeau, Bernal.

This Tour contained twist & turns the previous Sky-dominated years lacked. Yes, Ineos is a rebranded Sky, and yes, two of the three guys on the podium were Ineos, and yes, Ineos (team or rider) failed to win a (complete) stage but still took home yellow...damn, this Tour sucked!

I don't think it sucked but the gutting of the last two Mountain stages sort of took the fun out of it.
