    Not a good night for Jai, lost ground and is now 3rd at 1.34 min behind the leader. Long way to go so anything can happen.

          Just like the TdF...some of those mountain climbs are horrifying, and then the descents at upwards of 100 kph truly terrifying.

          Hopefully Caleb Ewan can win a few sprint stages - I remember watching him race at Williamstown in 2012 before he went pro and coming away thinking this kid is going to be something special.

                      Pogacar will win his 3rd TDF. Great climbing to win the 19th stage and put a 5 min gap on Vingegaard

                        The last two stages, he has been unbelievable. One of the greatest road cyclists ever.
