Redemption for Remco with a great stage win.
With his 8 months pregnant wife in the car as well, jeez!Fecking hell, Nathan Van Hooydonck suffered a cardiac arrest in his car this morning; taken to the hospital in critical condition and apparently still with his life in danger at the moment.
Prayers up for him
There was no way that was what Kuss saidTweet

Class. He keeps the red jersey with an 8" bonus on Vingegaard now.
The funny thing is that right after the stage they asked one of the Jumbo-Visma people what Kuss said, and he said they couldn't hear or something.There was no way that was what Kuss said
Vingegaard has come out basically agreeing with the criticism now.So r/peloton and several cycling pundits are losing their god damn minds over Vingegaard and Roglic "attacking" Sepp Kuss over the last two stages, instead of holding his hand across the finish line and gifting him the GC. The two traditional TJV captains are being called everything from disrespectful to disgraces. So, any thoughts on this?
Personally, I think it's manufactured drama, and that the three riders are each pretty clear in their interviews about their internal agreements and what they want. Vingegaard and Roglic are champions and don't want to be held back from riding their own races and getting stage wins. And it's not like they are doing anything to jeopardize the team winning the GC.
That being said, I think it would be best for Roglic to switch teams for next season, so he can ride the Tour as captain. I want to see a four-way battle between Vingegaard, Roglic, Pogacar and Evenepoel.
Yeah, in hindsight it seems clear that Roglic rode away from Kuss on Angliru and Vingegaard just followed to make sure that if anyone take the red jersey off Kuss, it would be him. He didn't get ahead of Roglic once. On the prior stage that Vingegaard won, there was still a healthy gap between him and Kuss, and he wanted to win the stage for van Hooydonck.Vingegaard has come out basically agreeing with the criticism now.
He has said that going for the win would be both greedy and stabbing Kuss in the back. That he would have liked the team to ride defensively after the rest day, but leadership decided they should fight for it, and if Kuss and Roglic were going to duel then he wanted to be involved, too. At some point, but too late according to Vingegaard, this was called off.
I feel like there is someone missing from that combined team. Can't quite put a finger on it.
Stronger rumours of Remco to Ineos from what I gather.Roglic is leaving Jumbo, and Remco is joining?
