    Pog lost Marc Soler last night - he was throwing up and didn't make the cut off time.

    And today, he's lost Rafael Majka - who has a torn thigh muscle and can't start.

    So he's down to three support riders - McNulty, Hirschi (who's been struggling all tour) and Bjerg.

    He's going to have to do it himself.

    Vingegaard still has five team mates - including Van Aert, Benoot and Kuss.

      Ha ha, how far away was that call? Maybe tomorrow as McNulty is absolutely ruining himself in service of the Pog today.

      Fucking hell they are going.

        Pog attacks but cant distance Jonas, this has turned into a great TDF.

          Those two are so far ahead of the other riders, it's amazing

              It's like magic! 🙂

              McNulty seems to have kept a very low profile through the tour so far, so maybe UAE have been clever and preserved his legs. Maybe tonight it will be Hirschi's turn.

              I've only see the website video, but Jonas didn't seem to be in any trouble at the finish.

                  It actually looked like McNulty had better legs than both of them, and both times Pog went for him, Jonas came back to his wheel without problem. You just have to wonder how many times he can do it though, especially with the pace they are setting.

                    That's Pog's only hope now. Keep at him and hope. He's not going to trick him like he was tricked.

                        Yeah, the guy from LR was arguing that it looked like it's taking more out of Pog than Jonas, but I dunno, he's a tricky bastard. He looked like he was blown on the last ramp and got Jonas to move off his wheel then put on the burners.

                            Fucking hell, I was worried about this tour being a procession, and it’s been one of the best.

                            Pog attacks with 39 kms to go.

                            Crazy pace and fucking awesome.

                              Jonas brings him back and Sepp bridges to them too. Jumbo still have Van Aert up the front so Jonas could still have more help.

                              I love July.

                                Pog again with 36 to go.

                                This is wicked.

                                  Pog is really trying to get rid of Kuss. Goes again.

                                    Thomas attacks now but with Kuss there neither Pog nor Jonas do anything.

                                    Seth doing a job here.

                                      Holy fuck, Jonas nearly goes over on the descent! Loses a pedal.

                                      Fuck, now Pog goes down!!

                                      Always nice to stay up late and be treated to great racing.

                                        That’s cool. Jonas waits for him, they shake hands; and now they go back to it again.

                                          Looks like Pog has backed off (seemed to be under pressure to attack) until we get to final climb. This is awesome.
