'There are no excuses for Roglic' - The Cooldown - Tour de France Stage 12
Stage 12 was billed as a showdown and it delivered, with Pogacar launching a signature attack to blow the GC apart.
Vingegaard gave chase, Remco faded, Onley impressed, and Ben Healy waved goodbye to the yellow jersey. Cyrus and Aidan break down how UAE turned the tables on Visma, why Pogacar’s crash might still catch up with him later, and what on earth Roglic was thinking with the ankle socks.
They dig into heat protocols, cold water science, hydration overkill, and the latest tactics from the ice vest wars. Plus, a touching moment of domestique loyalty, a new “Lazarus of the Day” feature, and the sobering news from the under-23 peloton that puts everything in perspective.
If you’re looking for signs of life in this GC race, maybe look further down the standings.
