THEMOVE Lance Armstrong

The brutal 11 sectors of cobbles took its toll on the peloton and damaged a couple of GC riders, as predicted. Johan goes into team tactics of both Jumbo-Visa and EF-Easypost. It’s no surprise to anyone that we talk about Tadej Pogacar and his form on a rough day. Also, something we have talked about in previous races is, do the motorbikes sometimes affect the outcome of the race?

Stage 5 with the 11 cobbled sections lived up to all the hype and has already affected the GC. The breakaway finish almost saw an American victory and potentially in yellow as well. Today was a great example of how it is a team sport and tactics can be key to victory. Returning champion, Tadej Pogacar looked impressive and Jumbo-Visma, with some bad luck today, managed to limit damages for Vingegaard and keep Van Aert in yellow.

Today we saw one of the great performances in modern cycling with Wout Van Aert. We also discuss the key points for GC riders going into tomorrow's much-anticipated stage with 11 cobble sections. As we often say, this is not one of those sections where you are likely to win the Tour de France, but you could very likely lose it.

Johan was in awe of the last 10k effort by Wout Van Aert, comparing it to legendary riders like Hinault and Merckx. Johan also tells the story of one of the greatest sprinters who didn’t know that he had just won the stage ahead of him. Lastly, Johan re-creates what it may have sounded like in the Postal team bus if he gave them a speech before a cobbled stage like we will see tomorrow.

Another spring stage for the Tour de France and Johan and Jb talk about the depth of talented sprinters and the teams fighting to deliver them to the line. Johan points out for the 2nd day an interesting strategy of Tajej Pogacar and UAE to not fight to stay safe in the front, Tadej even choosing to ride in the middle of the peloton, which creates risk over the course of a 3-week tour.

Not only is the battle for the Green Jersey looking to be an exciting battle in this year's tour, the strength of numerous sprinters is going to make for some great bunch finishes. We have been talking about Fabio Jakobson and the horrific accident he had a couple of years ago. Today we saw an emotional win from the man on the other side of that incident, Dylan Groenewegen.
