- Brandon’s been immense on the valley floors and transitions—keeping Pog fresh before the decisive climbs. Bon rétablissement, McNulty. Vamos, Del Toro, sigue fuerte!

- Is Alpe d’Huez really the place where you “need a strong team”? I thought it’s all about the final climb. Doesn’t the draft matter less uphill?

- Pog’s joke about getting sick while talking to the press… mate, maybe save the banter until Paris. Health protocols exist for a reason.

- Bit too rosy from the author, no? “Fairly calm day” glosses over the tempo Jumbo–Visma set mid-stage. That pace shelled a lot of domestiques—UAE looked thinner than the piece suggests. Still, kudos for the McNulty quotes.

- Del Toro’s maturity shines. Third on GC and he’s still thinking about the team dynamics. If Adam Yates is actually improving, UAE can still control the base of the Alpe and let Tadej go on the last 6–7 km. Big “if” though.

- Wait, so if three riders are sick, how do they decide who still rides? Do they test for something? And why did Wellens finish if he’s ill—does that help the team somehow?

- Pogacar handling the media with a grin even while half the team’s under the weather—classic Tadej. Losing McNulty is massive though; he’s been the engine on the medium mountain days. Saturday to Alpe d’Huez without full support could be spicy.

I've had quibbles with some U.A.E. tactics, in this TDF, especially a few stages ago when they wasted a couple of riders in a failed breakaway that I thought was unnecessary, and in some other instances , as well. But I always remind myself that the team, including the DS, has proven themselves to be the best in the world at what they do, and not only in those races where Tadej is at the starting line. So, while I do nitpick from time-to-time, I do so with humility, realizing that they've some how managed to gain unmatched dominance without a bit of help from me.

It's interesting that Plugge blames the course, and the lack of proper warning, while his rider, Jonas V., blames his own carelessness. Clearly, the sharp curve wasn't adaquately policed, and there's no excuse with not doing more, doing everyting, in fact, to protect the riders; but it's also true that ALL the other 170 riders (approx.) made it through that curve, without incident, except for a few who were taken down by Jonas. It's also true that Visma either reconned the stage, or should have, and if they did, then their team should have been prepared for the situation, and, if they had extra concerns, they should have lodged their worries with the race organizers. If they did so, they have not indicated that they did.Instead of only placing blame on others, however warranted, Visma needs to look more closely at their own dereliction.

- Grande artículo, pero una duda: ¿por qué no neutralizan esos tramos urbanos tan peligrosos? Merci/thanks for any insight.
