- - ¡Buen artículo! Del Toro ganador y aún así sanción al equipo… el Tour no perdona.patriciaw05-07-2026
- - Feels a bit nit-picky from the jury. They “had nothing to say” otherwise? Plenty of sticky bottles go unnoticed. Consistency, please.andrewf05-07-2026
- - Yellow card for a mechanic is rare! Kavcnik must’ve offered a prolonged shove or adjusted something while the bike was moving. UAE still gets the stage, but those 500 CHF add up over three weeks.bikebuffj05-07-2026
- - Not sure I understand: what exactly is a “pre-filled water bottle” violation? Aren’t all bidons pre-filled? Is this about where/when it was handed up?breakawaybikerd05-07-2026
- - Nice roundup. Del Toro continues to impress, but the real story here is the fines. Rojas getting 500 CHF for Castrillo’s pre-filled bidon is pretty steep, though rules are rules.tourdeforce905-07-2026
- - Qué etapa tan emocionante. Remco jugando al póker y Del Toro apretando sin miedo. Esto promete muchísimo para la general. Bravo.cadencekingm05-07-2026
- - Wasn’t Romain Grégoire on Groupama-FDJ, not “Groupama-FDJ United”? Little editing slip there, lads.gearguru3305-07-2026
- - Three seconds isn’t much but psychologically it’s big. Vingegaard looked comfy on the wheel—no panic, just diesel mode. Classic Jonas.raceready705-07-2026
- - Pidcock saying “reality check” hits. He’s close, but missing that last 2%. Putting a man on the front then not making the move was a bit meh from Pinarello-Q5 though. Mixed signals?cyclechamp4505-07-2026
- - Can someone explain why a “gap on the descent” matters if they were all basically together? Don’t they just pedal harder on the flat to close it? Genuinely curious how that works tactically.michael5405-07-2026
