'Tactics only matter when legs are equal' - The Cooldown - Tour de France Stage 16
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Valentin Paret-Peintre outfoxed Ben Healy and Enric Mas at the summit to give Soudal Quick-Step a much-needed victory. Behind them, Vingegaard and Pogacar lit up the GC fight again, trading attacks in a Tour that refuses to give us a dull day.
Cyrus and Aidan dive into it all—from Van Wilder’s heroic Lazarus pull, to Pogacar’s pure joy while attacking when he didn’t need to, to why Visma-LAB's tactics make sense even when they don't work. They also tackle fan interference (again), Roglic’s decoy role, and sinus tape snake oil.
