Adaphillipe commented that the extra weight of the disc brakes is what make the difference in the end.
Will be interesting to see if the crowds are as subdued for the mountain stages, such as Pau or if Le Tour route goes in the Pyrenees.so far no crowds approaching that. Admittedly it’s early. But the French seem pretty subdued and it’s also the end of tourism season.
I’m just happy they’re having the race.

Looks like there’s an American who can climb! Sepp Kuss from Durango was right up there till the end. He’s just in a support for Roglic, but he still looked plenty strong on a climbing finish. TJVG is still a poser.
For a classics rider, Wout was also a beast on the final climb. Fun race to watch.

Sepp is an animal. It would be fun to see what he could do if others worked for him. My brother used to live in Durango and he said he rode with Sepp a few times and he said he is on another planet with fitness and talent. With that being said the acceleration on the winning move was nuts yesterday. He probably broke a few hopes of contending on that one.Looks like there’s an American who can climb!
