| Yeah, I was bummed about Landa because now it is all on Quintana and he never puts his nose in the wind unless there is nothing left to lose.... |

Porte completed stage 9 without crashing.
All bets are off now.
I just hope he didn't celebrate too hard. Today showed that the GC exit can be reached through many different doors. |

Good grief! When you lead out the sprint with Viviani on your wheel and still take the win you know you can play in the bigs.
Yeah, the GC just got boring
Normally Viviani does a lot of griping when he doesn't win. Today he was very quiet; I think he was just happy that he was there to compete. If not the wind then certainly the final rise to finish did him in. |

Viviani's facial expressions did all the talking for him today...

Hahaha yes that facial expression said it all "where the F did you come from". Almost a carbon copy of Sagan on stage 1 when Teunissen nipped him.
And that is 4 wins for J-V by 3 different riders and as team effort. |

| Yeah, J-V is having a helluva Tour so far....would love to see Krujswieck finish it off, but I don’t think that is gonna happen. |

Pinot agrees and says is a cloud of anger. Says he wants to ride Tourmalet "right now". He may still make this race interesting |

Cloud of anger? I thought it was stomach full of anger but my memory isn't super sharp.

Good sprint today.....thought Ewan's chances were sunk with ~10K to go and he lost a leadout guy and a bunch of real estate.
Dude is SO fast for such a little guy!! |

"Viviani's facial expressions did all the talking for him today.."
But I loved his interview the next day. Classy |

Great finish today. Enjoyed the beautiful SW French countryside as much as the race.
I'm using NBCSN gold, the paid ad free option. Aussie fan boy commentators but I'm OK with that. I'm at work so the sound is mostly way down anyway. NBCSN Gold is a royal pain in the derriere on many levels, ease of use is poor for 2019, they F up PR every year and I'm ready to drop them, but the Tour coverage salvages it for me.
In this day and age you can watch many US sporting events like a college football game on several feeds, simultaneously if you prefer. The TDF could offer the same with little effort, all commercial free. This could be another revenue stream for them.
