Watching the peloton - Professional Road Racing thread 2026

So Jonas made that last climb a bit of a procession by attacking early (on the steepest part) and it worked, dropping everyone pretty much immediately. But Gall came a valient 2nd, 1:15 behind, slow and steady, a tactic that really works for him, no blow ups. Hindley 3rd confirming the podium. In fact I think the entire top ten stays the same. Eulailio's wide grin the entire length of the finishing straight tells it's own story. Story of the race, 9 days in pink, Top 6 finish and best young rider. What a race for him.
 
Jonas said in the post-race that he had planned to attack much closer to the summit, but Kuss faltered, putting Lemmen on the front until he cracked, and Piganzoli popped, so he had to go a lot earlier than planned. He just plain looks fantastic. His new coach seems to be working out well. The Tour is always must see tv, but the 2026 Tour is absolutely MUST SEE TV.
