Fun stage so far. Good to see Ben O has found his legs. Hoping the breakaway stays away today, but I also want to see GC fireworks.

Just caught up this morning. Puy de Dome was such a great and unique climb to watch. It was such a fantastic way to round out week one of racing.
With the GC gap down to 17 seconds between JV and TP, week two is going to be epic!
Vinge looked gas yesterday and TJV burnt a few bikkies chasing the break for WvA. I reckon this one will be down to the line between Pog and Vinge.
Want to also say thanks to @Krob for putting up these threads. It's hard building a community from scratch, but it's great seeing these threads pop up consistently and reasonable participation here.
Ahh fuck. Not like this Cav. Absolutely gutted for him.
He's on a winning streak for sure!
Aussie bias says Caleb is getting closer with every sprint, so he's gotta get it. JP with a MvdP lead out has just been too solid a combo this TdF though, it seems very likely to continue.
Everyone is wrong all the time on these. That's part of the fun!
Can't believe I fell asleep before the final climb last night. Late tour nights definitely take it out of me!
Just caught up. Pogi played the game right today. Tour not over! WvA almost needed to be stretchered up the hill he went so deep, great teamwork and performance from him.
This has been an epic TdF, and it's only week 1!
Pogi looking much stronger today holding Vinnies wheel up here.
Jai, noooooo!
TJV is just so dominant right now. Very different tactics to Sky in its heyday, but same results.
Let's go Jai!
How good was that stage! Holy moly. This is going to be a good tour!
If I was a betting man, there's zero chance I'd place money on this, but Peter Sagan drawing the energy of past Peter Sagans and getting into the breakaway, then dropping his breakaway compatriots on the final climb and descending like Green Jersey Peter for a monumental final TdF win is what I'm going to fantasise about for this stage.
