Still don’t understand why he is going to Arkea Samsic. It’s not like he is that old and surely they can’t afford that much.

another amazing stage - juju looking increasingly vulnerable and his blushes were spared here by the descent (what a descent!)
expect the next two days to be brutal racing
― im led by donky (||||||||), Friday, 26 July 2019 07:46 (four years ago) link
Arkea Samsic has some heavy financial backers. (Quintana will take his bro and Winner Ancona with him to the team, so he will have some trusted helpers, unlike what's the case at Movistar)

Are they going to be world tour? They naught have the points.
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Friday, 26 July 2019 08:35 (four years ago) link
not sure if Quintana would be bothered. Apparently he'll get 2 million a year, and he will ride the Tour.
― Ludo, Friday, 26 July 2019 10:03 (four years ago) link
With their French crew of riders they'll pick up enough wild cards for French tours and classics (TdF, Dauphine, Paris-Nice etc). And with Quintana on board they'll probably get even more chances to pick up more points.

How did Nairo get strawberry jam down his jersey yesterday?
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Friday, 26 July 2019 11:34 (four years ago) link
He spilled some from a gel sachet (looked like blood but wasn't).

nose bleed from being at the front of the race?

This is mental.

Yes!
Pinot stung by something?

Pinot :(Knee injury two days ago which got worse last night, apparently.

Close-up shots of his emotional face. Poor guy.

Commentary said he banged his knee two days ago and was suffering with it yesterday.

😢 It’s over for Thibaut Pinot who suffers too much. Extremely sad.😢 C’est fini pour @ThibautPinot qui souffre trop pour continuer. Un moment très difficile pour lui et son équipe.#TDF2019 pic.twitter.com/qr7Bab0iPk— Tour de France™ (@LeTour) July 26, 2019

boring old Ineos win after all.
poor Pinot, it seemed more likely he'd win than Ala.
― Ludo, Friday, 26 July 2019 14:40 (four years ago) link
Fantastic stage so far. Flip cracked but isn't rip.
If Kruiswijk misses out on the podium by 2 secs it's because he forgot to cross the line as second on the L'Iseran ;_;
Hail and rain ahead!
― Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 26 July 2019 14:41 (four years ago) link
holy shit there's hail
― gbx, Friday, 26 July 2019 14:41 (four years ago) link
Flip is going to catch up w/ Thomas and Kruiswijk isn't he o_O
― Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 26 July 2019 14:42 (four years ago) link
They're plowing snow 😅

Race neutralised with the gaps at the top of the iseran!

they're canceling the stage!!!!

Well.
― Madchen, Friday, 26 July 2019 14:45 (four years ago) link

if the road is unridable, one can walk through the snow, I'd say :P

this will most definetely save Ala's podium (and thus Kruiswijk and Buchmann were robbed)
