155km to go: Ladagnous extends his lead beyond three minutes. It is 10 years since he first raced the Tour, and his best ever result was in his first ever stage, when he came fifth. He came ninth in his second stage, and hasn’t come in the top 10 since. This is his seventh Tour, and he failed to finish only once, in 2016. Also yesterday, Nicolas Roche lost a “very precious bracelet”, made by Bulgari no less. He has offered a cash reward.
Not really what i had in mind.
Actually lost a very precious bracelet kilometer 75 ish in the crash if any founds it would be great! Thanks! pic.twitter.com/YWyMFaH9G3
157km to go: Ladagnous has stretched his lead to 1min 45sec, and nobody seems particularly worried about it. One bit of news since yesterday: Davide Formolo, part of Tadej Pogacar’s Team Emirates, has retired with a broken collarbone.
Unlucky the suspect become true, wasn’t easy to finish the stage with broke collarbone!!! But with the stronger guy at TDF in the team so far I did! NOW The only think I can do it’s to get operated ASP than try to be back for my dream and ARDENS CLASSIC https://t.co/vKaTaAFnyB
