Amazing medical comeback for Jacobsen, but still feel Cav should have been given the chance.

I would hope it is because that’s a rather sad, parochial view of things that ignores how well Jakobsen has ridden this year on top of his comeback.
Jakobsen has 9 race wins this year. Cavendish has 4, and he had his opportunity in the Giro where unfortunately he didn’t demonstrate his form was there against a pretty weak field.
Hindsight is 20/20 but if Cav wanted the record he should have moved in the off season to somewhere he was guaranteed a Tour place because QS were never going to leave Jakobsen at home or take them both.
Crazy strength, jumbo and ineos showing they've got the race tactics/team capability compared to the others, getting into that climb in the right place, but wonder how that'll play out over the next few days. Looking forward to tomorrow.
12s thank goodness. Otherwise as you say Pogacars seeming capability to just put power down at will against the biggest cobbles riders in the world would have won him the GC already, it's put him in a stronger position, but Roglic's inability to ride a bike has foiled him yet again. 4x Vuelta winner incoming. Vingegaard got very lucky.
He’s an ex ski jumper dontcha know, perhaps he likes flying through the air
edit: looks like Roglic rode with a dislocated shoulder over the cobbles after he came off
