- Quick question: is the white jersey only for riders under 25, and does Del Toro keep it even if he’s already third on GC? Slightly confused how that works with the podium and jerseys.

- Pog just ticked off Alpe d’Huez like it was a training climb. Smashing Pantani’s time is wild. Also huge ride by Del Toro—those 4 seconds on Seixas might be tiny, but psychologically massive before Stage

Gran ambiente pero demasiada locura en las cunetas. Respect the riders, por favor. Pogacar fue tremendo, pero nadie quiere ver accidentes así.

Charging admission would kill the soul of the Tour. Education + smarter course marshalling is the way. Maybe designate “safe lanes” with rope corridors on the steepest bends, like Dutch Corner. The vibe can stay mad without being dangerous.

I don’t get it — why can’t they just put barriers the whole way up? Is it just too long/too expensive? How many kilometres is the climb again?

So the car braked because of a fallen fan and the engine stalled… but why was Rubio right on the bumper in the first place? Neutral service gap should’ve been bigger with that crowd. Great piece overall, but feels a bit too lenient on ASO.

Wild stage. Alpe d’Huez always walks the tightrope, but this was over the line. Hope Rubio heals fast — 20 stitches is brutal. Organisers did more than usual, sure, but sensor-braking or not, the convoy spacing behind dropped riders looked messy.

Increíble etapa. Pogacar récord en la subida más mítica, y Del Toro top-10 tiempo—que futuro tiene el chaval. Qué locura de vatios, madre mía.

Not sure about the “more than a minute faster than Pantani” narrative without altitude, wind, and pacing caveats. Conditions matter, road surface too. The piece could have dug deeper there tbh.

Love the context with Ayuso’s52 matching Pidcock’s winning time inShows how fast the whole peloton is moving now. Also, Remco at56 on a pure mountain like Alpe is legit—he’s adapting.
