Welcome back to J.B. Squared. I'm J.B. Hager, joined by Johann Bernille. We're deep, deep, deep in this

0:06.9

23 Tour de France. Stage 18. We're going to talk about what went down today. Miraculous

0:13.0

breakaway that no one would have thought would stay. And we'll have Johan break that down and tell

0:19.4

us what's going on and the players involved, which is why it was able to stick. We'll get into that. And you Jonas fans,

0:27.2

we're going to clear the air a little bit. We got you guys a little upset yesterday, but we'll tackle

0:32.8

all that and more on this episode of J.B. Squared. Yon, we're going to start out talking about something from yesterday, which we rarely do.

0:41.7

But we got people a little upset, a little upset because we spent a lot, and it wasn't intentional.

0:48.3

We just spent a lot of time talking about today, Pogacar, and his season and maybe leadership and direction of how his season

He did an amazing, amazing time trial.

1:55.7

And yesterday, he, you know, he put the nail in the coffin and Pogacar lost six minutes.

2:03.2

But I do think, however, that that's maybe why we spend a little bit more time on it, a part

between the battle for the stage and then the the downfall of Pagacchar it kind of was forgotten a little bit that Lingerard was the only one to go from the favorites.
