This was amazing to watch. Serious wattage by Pog and Vin. The overhead shots from the helicopter of the final climb - the snaking of the climb - were beautiful.

Pogi is so strong. He is getting time back little by little. Such a great tour for us to enjoy!

[WTSKY]

My jaw literally dropped when Pogi got out the saddle a second time and you could see the gap open up between him and Jonas from above. This guy is an absolute animal!

I just love Vingegaards positive mindset and his rock hard winner-mentality.. I just followed an interview where he underlined looking forward to long tuff and demanding days riding in the mountains.. Vingegaard is a tough dane.. Being danish myself Im so proud of him.. What a character he is..🇩🇰💪🏽🙏🏽

Tadej is patient and in this stage and the next, I believe, he just wants to nibble at Jonas’ lead. He is looking to be wearing the yellow jersey at the end of Sunday’s stage. What an exciting week-end this is going to be. Jonas is clearly struggling to match Tadej’s brutal attacks. I am putting my money on the Slovenian.

people forget that last year, vingegaard had a roglica that helped him a lot, this year there is no riglica, he knows jumbo very well

[attilalaszlo]

Do not forget the Col de la Loze. Like Granon and Mount Ventoux this is a type of climb which favours more to Jonas. Tomorrow the Jeux-Plane is a 50-50 climb. +30 min climb with very steep final 3 kms. I would expect Jumbo and Kelderman Will put very high numbers on the Ramaz and the Jeux-Plane Will be a huge battle and Jonas Will try to drop Pogi.

I’ll take the bait on the headline. Pogacar can be happy to finish ahead, but Vingegaard certainly sees this as a victory. Vingegaard retained the yellow jersey and believes he can pull away over the weekend. Whether he will is another question all together.

[fujizero]

Spectacular!!!! Battle between 2 are just epic . And also bravo to Yates who lead Pog all over the hill !!!!

[denishaskurti]

Yeah, Pogi is gnawing the time gap little by little in these explosive stages that suit him better, but I believe that one single brutal attack will be enough for Jonas to crack Pogi and gain in one shot 30" - 1'00" in the next stages, which are more suitable for Jonas.
We have to see if Jonas has the legs though

[ChrisTaylor-Guitar]

Pog didn’t breakJonas he just out sprinted him. Great win for Kwiatowski!

[renatoslife]

What a Show we are having the opportunity to watch. Pogachar is a beast and he is looking like by Sunday he might be in yellow

[zagfat]

Was on the road all day. Couldnt watch this amazing stage.

[clauso]

Today did not show us any news on the difference between Jonas and Tadej. Tadej is always stronger than Jonas on a steep 500m climb, and I was actually surprised that UAE did not have the courage to try to hurt Vingegaard for real. Was I the only one who thought Pogacar looked a little hot on the way up?
The next two days will be exciting as these are long hot mountain stages, which at least in theory are better suited for Vingegaard than today's stage.

[trroland]

Massive Attack?! What, they're back? I love those guys.

[asiantrick]

Few mins before this, Adam Yates attacked and Kuss spent all his energy to close that gap. Why?? What's the point there? They should have let Yates go and stick to Pog wheel and force him to pull. Kuss empty his tank chasing Yates and werent able to protect JV at the end. Not understanding Jumbo tactic whatsoever.

[dellis]

It’s very clear what UAE tactics are now. Sprint finish up the hill to break JV

[JimmyPifPaf]

We have hard stages ahead. Saturday and sunday over 4k meters, day off, TT and then also hard stage over 5k meters. Anything can happen. Vingegaard is strong he is not so dynamic than Pogi as we have seen, but I believe it would be great battle. Domestics will be dead after these days...

[aleksandar]

I dont see this as breaking Jonas, its more Tadej have monster attack and he is saving energy for that one insane attack at the end....On stage 9 he dropped him 2 km until end and gained just 8 secs. I think on harder stages Jonas is gonna drop him...

Lo vuelvo a decir: en este TOUR, HASTA EL MAS MINIMO SEGUNDO ES ORO MOLIDO! Y PARA MUESTRA, UN BOTÓN!! ESOS 8 SEGUNDOS QUE METIO POGAČAR VALEN ORO PARA LA GENERAL! Qué gran etapa para POGAĆAR, esto todavía no está definido, VINGEGAARD SE VA A PONER LAS PILAS Y POGAČAR SE TENDRA Q EMPLEAR MAS A FONDO; GRACIAS POR ESE GRAN ESPECTÁCULO!
