One of the most action-packed, drama-filled Tour de France stages in recent memory. Stage 14 of the Tour de France was enthralling as Carlos Rodriguez took a maiden victory as Jonas Vingegaard extended his overall race lead by a single second.
The drama started straight from the flag drop as a mass crash saw the race neutralised for around 30 minutes with numerous riders being forced to abandon the race. The battle between Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar came to life on the final climb of the day before there was some motorbike-related controversy at the top of the climb as they battled it out for the bonus seconds on offer. Then on the final descent to the line, Rodriguez caught and overtook the two GC leaders to take a breakthrough victory.

- And if all these other guys would have full time cycling jobs all year round, they’d be less critical about who rides when. Not their fault cycling is split into so many different disciplines to allow some less good riders a chance to win once in a while on their preferred terrain.Mistermaumau15-12-2024
- Like plenty of others, and he probably wishes he was MVDP but would settle for WVA.Mistermaumau15-12-2024

- Don’t really understand the point of making a point of it, especially as he stands to get the same crowd without the extra cost. It could be any number of reasons, the first of which might be that after 12 years of it, maybe he wants to try something new?Mistermaumau15-12-2024
- Jan tratnik is a stupid man,very stupid indeed. No backbone, no wonder he goes around switching teams following Primoz like a lost puppy. Very stupid man. No aura at allSelle15-12-2024
- umm, i wasn’t “subliminally” suggesting anything about the effort level of wout and mathieu. those guys are training fanatics, duh. what’s DIFFERENT about the cx season from other sports is that guys like eli and michael ARE the ones at the top, racing to WIN, all season UNTIL the first day mathieu shows up, then all that is suddenly OVER. i honestly can’t think of another sport that has that kind of situation. where the top guys’ season all just goes down the drain EVERY YEAR with the return in mid to late season of ONE GUY.OCexile15-12-2024
- Yeah ok but this is the story of thousands ifnot millions of athletes across every sport, most train just as hard and sacrifice just as much but when it comes to the big time, there are always a couple better than you who everyone is going to want to see or discuss. Why should it be any different for level 2 than 3 or 6 or 20? The majority of fans and media rightly follow their own stories plus those of the very best. PS it’s kind of insulting (of MV) to subliminally suggest that MVDP and WVA don’t equally give their all for training and races, you don’t get to that level by taking it easy, even if it looks like it sometimes.Mistermaumau15-12-2024
- They better give him knee sliders for those downhill corners.
