Johan’s Thoughts on Tomorrow’s Gravel Stage | Tour de France 2024 Stage 8 | JB2

The JB2 content is so brilliant! The show gets better each year! The Peacock commentators are light years behind you guys when it comes to useful analysis. I literally fast forward through their takes. Great job guys!!

Excellent analysis. I consider Johan and Chris Horner (chesterfield/knucklehead😉) the two best cycling commentators - with maybe Bruyneel having the edge, because of his sources, and his 'inside baseball' analysis 👍

Johan since the first day of bini .. everything you said and predicted came true , you have always see the positive and beautiful things about bini .. thank you for supporting our bini .. we make sure we are keeping the 💚💚💚at all cost .. 💃💃💃💃🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🤔😂💚💚💚

If you look closer, Abrahamsen didn’t just gain 20 kg; he also grew a couple of inches. This wasn’t simply an intentional transformation from a lean climber by adding muscle. It was due to delayed puberty caused by dietary restrictions and intense training. He was essentially trapped in a middle schooler’s body and only developed his natural adult body shape by removing some restrictions and letting nature finish its job. You can't just start feeding a grown-up climber like Bardet, add 20 kg, and suddenly make him a Roubaix contender—it doesn’t work like that.

Appreciate you guys so much! Great vibes always

If one of the favourites loses the tour because of this stage there will be trouble

I only see a downside with gravel segments. The tour cannot be won by riding a gravel stage but it can certainly be lost due to the higher chance of mechanical's and crashes.

JB2 has become must watch analysis. Lance better keep this show on the WEDU channel!

Excellent commentary!

I'm a fan of the gravel stage. Anything can happen. I think Wout has been biding his time!

Thanks, great show. I looked at some of tomorrow's gravel sections on Google Earth. Johan is right, it's crazy. Narrow gravel roads and sharp turns in and out. The TDF could turn on a flat or a crash.

Love this analysis

Also a comment about the stage with the gravel sectors, Road racing has a time cut. If you don't make it to the finish within the time your TDF is over. Gravel races and the logistics of getting bike changes and assistance could turn this upside down. What if the same rider has multiple issues? How are they going to work it out so no rider gets tossed out of the race? I see a lot of equipment failures possibly if weather conditions are bad. And we know there is going to be crashes. It is just unnecessary to put gravel sections in the TDF.

In a post race interview, Powless or Bisseger, said the word came from their car to give up on the break. He didn’t seem that upset about it, but he was being careful in his comments about that decision - disappointed for sure.

Thank you Johan! " Road " racing !

I always see you gaya, really good, technical and professional program I also watch La movids in spanish with VP

I was also wondering what the heck EF was up to. Vaughters being in the car explains it all. When he was being interviewed the other day by NBC his opening statement was that he had no say in the team tactics which is BS. Before the stage Powless said he was looking forward to the stage since it was an excellent chance for him to get a win in a breakaway.

MVdP, Mohoric, Pogi, and Van Gils are the favorites on this gravel stage in Troyes. Pidcock and Bernal are specialist on this gravel but he will help teammate CRC on this stage. Watch out maybe there are gonna be attacks in the GC.

Congratulations Bini 🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷we are so proud of you and thank you 🙏

I wish they had Johan on NBC
