July 13, 20233 yr A second win for Cofidis this Tour with Ion Izaguirre - looking great for them! Thibault Pinot also pushes himself into the Top 10 overall after getting into the break. The first of a few mountain stages tomorrow!
July 14, 20233 yr Nice to see Kwiatkowski win today - only his second Tour win after so many years! And on a day which wasn't tipped as a breakaway day as well. Pogacar gained eight more seconds on Vingegaard today, so there's only nine between them - exciting!
July 15, 20233 yr Another pretty exciting day! Carlos Rodriguez upsettting the status quo by taking the win and in the process moving himself into third. Both Pogacar and Vingegaard taking bonus points now puts Vingegaard 10 seconds ahead of Pogacar. The race continues... A shame to see so many good riders crash out, will be a loss for Bardet/Meintjes/Chavez/James Shaw not being in the race anymore.
July 17, 20233 yr They're still where they were as we leave the second rest day - a win for Wout Poels yesterday though which was great to see, although incredible that he hasn't won a Tour stage before!
July 18, 20233 yr Aaand all it took was a time trial to blow everything apart :lol: Vingegaard now leads by almost two minutes, with Adam Yates moving up into third more than 8 minutes back. Hopefully Pogacar can pull something back to keep some tension in the race!

July 19, 20233 yr wow Vingegaard yesterday killed it, he really seems like from another planet :o Indeed - and even more so today! The gap between first and second going from 10 seconds two days ago to over 7 minutes today :o
July 20, 20233 yr A thrilling stage today, with a four-man breakaway getting to the finish seconds before the sprinters! Massive well done to Asgreen for taking the win.
July 21, 20233 yr Another really exciting day for the breakaway, with 30+ riders getting in including some of the biggest sprinters! Really exciting to see the flurry of attacks from the front group, and a photo finish between the two riders at the front! Well done to Mohoric for the win. The final mountains stage tomorrow - let's see what happens...
July 22, 20233 yr The final mountains stage saw a final win for Pogacar - great to see him back to form after his bad day a couple of days ago! Simon Yates rose to fourth, just behind his twin brother, and Ciccone made sure he kept the polka dot jersey into Paris.
July 24, 20233 yr And that's a wrap for another year! Jordi Meeus wins the final stage - a bit of a surprise given he wasn't in contention for any of the other sprints but a win's a win! And of course Vingegaard retains his yellow jersey for the second year in a row. A pretty exciting Tour overall - the time gap between the top 2 definitely not representative of the race itself.
