After a calm-ish day featuring a controlled breakaway and a sudden downpour, things went full Mario Kart in the final kilometre. A huge crash took out most of the sprint contenders, but Jonathan Milan stayed upright to take his second stage win of the Tour. Simmons was immense, Abrahamsen gave it a go (again), and Cofidis… well, Cofidis did Cofidis things.
Cyrus and Aidan break down the sprint chaos, the motorbike controversy, and the surprising Tour de France of Quinn Simmons. They also discuss drone coverage vs. motos, green jersey politics, and how crash culture gets glorified by mainstream commentary.
