Hope she's okay
Edit: Clearly she isi okay
Noemi Rüegg is becoming one of the premier punchy riders in the pelloton, she won today by pure strength! And she's only 25
Here's how you say it phonetically. Ang–Gare–Ler–Roo
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤
I missed todays stage as I had a long base building session scheduled, so I was looking very much forward to Patricks recap
Koch P2 on the finisher table? in the finish she came third so what's this about?
We don't talk about this enough. A turn where you have 100 ppl going through in a race should NOT be that tight. It's like the crash at 100 kph at UAE tour this year. The race should be designed so that no one is ever going 100 kph. Its not safe, its not adding to the entertainment, it shouldn't exist.
I'm tired to bad course design putting riders at risk.
Remarkable late comeback by Marianne Vos. 👏🏽👏🏽
Incredible teamwork by Visma to bring back Vos – they just seemed to zoom past everyone with tenacity to not give up. Also, it's great to see Noemi doing so well! She was amazing in Tour Down Under back in January. I'm excited to see what else EF cook up.
Can we get a 'yeah boi' for Seb! Tour of Turkiyre review?
ohhh that winner has a furious sprint, love it
Spilling cherry-juice all-over as a celebration is dumb af.
Are some of the EF riders using a modified poc procen air without ear covers to get around the new regulations or is that a new helmet from poc?
Thanks for the recap! I wish you and Benji were doing daily podcasts for this one.
No pod?
Which idiot put that 180degree corner into a race parcour like this?
Impressive sprint on a tricky technical finish but goodness those poc helmets are ugly.
Why does EF Education have the ugliest helmets? Congrats to them for getting it done.
Rëugg gone rogue
Rëugg's performances are really outstanding this year. The consistency since January in a second tier team (with the greatest respect to EF, they're not FDJ!) is really really impressive.
Did not enjoy watching those wet descents, but that finish was exciting in the best way. Looking forward to more racing like this.
Brilliant sprint finish by Ruegg, and that was some effort by Vos to come back and still manage to finish 7th! That corner with like 9km to go had no place in that stage though.
Women's racing is heating up this season. It seems like every team has their own rider who can compete on hills, sprints. There's guesswork on who will win the stage and I'm all for it.
And of course, the comeback of stage designers who creates courses that endanger riders. Impressive!
When will we get more than 7 stages in a womens tour?
What happened to Van der Bredan? Once the best in the world. Coming out of retirement hasn't gone so easy for her.
I love this part of the country. Humid summers are brutal.
EF should be ashamed of those helmets.
Vos wasn't even with the lead group with 2km to go. She makes contact with the leader AND has enough in the tank to place in the top 10! Extraordinary effort.
Super ride 💪👊✅
What happened to Realini? She's anonymous these days
RÜEGG SMASH!!!
What's up with ELB this season? Still injured? I miss her.
A pair of legs on this one ❤
Great coverage! I just saw an IG post from Visma: Vos won't start stage 2 as she has a broken collarbone from the crash. Makes her chase yesterday to finish in top 10 even more insane! 🤯
Bravo Kasia Niewiadoma !😊👍💕Top Favorit !
I love this. Thanks for sharing
