Mathieu van der Poel and Jonas Rickaert threw down a monster two-man break, nearly held it to the line, and gave us one of the most entertaining final kilometres of the Tour so far. Milan launched early but Tim Merlier overhauled him.
Cyrus and Aidan unpack a surprisingly tense day of echelons, GC nerves, shoulder barges, sticky bottles out the team car window, and why nobody wants to chase a break until it’s already three minutes up the road.
We also talk about Almeida's DNF, concussion protocol finally being used mid-stage, Remco’s confidence in the crosswinds, and why Pogacar was riding solo into chaos.
Stick around for domestique & dickhead of the day, a wrap-up of the Women’s Giro (shoutout to Sarah Gigante), and a preview of tomorrow’s GC shakeup on Bastille Day.
