- My friend, sorry if it wasn't clear, but I was responding to Rafionain-Glas I agree with you.MajorPayne05-07-2026
- The fire only affects the transit roads after stage (D66, D117), which is the reason for this

- Yes, mild route until 19 and 20, then it's going to be a war. Temps will be an issue this year for most.awp05-07-2026
- Dead serious son. Evil heat is on its wayJakob05-07-2026
- Yes, Tadej is slightly better than Jonas, I knew this going in to the Tour, Jonas has looked great all year though and it will be a fight all the way.awp05-07-2026
- Agreed. It was really touching to see. Also, very clever from Pogi! Isaac will do whatever he needs for him, for the rest of the tour.anonymouscyclist05-07-2026
- LOL!!! Are you serious?MajorPayne05-07-2026
- Etape 2 was irrelevant for the eventual podium placements. Let see how the riders react to the next 3 day's 'journey through dark heat' (also a great Bob Dylan song) in the Pyrenees. I am warning you brother - evil heat is on its way. Watch out -we will see which riders can or cannot cope with evil heat.Jakob05-07-2026
- Chapeau, Torito! I've said before that I think Isaac has the faster sprint than Pogačar (UAE Tour stage 1 in 2025 and 2026) and to do that after having been 2 minutes behind and having closed down Skjelly is amazing. He was pushing hard for the final 2 km.Rafionain-Glas05-07-2026
