VN Pod, ep. 150: How Thibaut Pinot can win the Tour de France

It's the second rest day of the Tour de France, and Fred and Andy link up to discuss the wild action that the race saw in the Pyrenees. Team Ineos was not at the same level as Team Sky, Julian Alaphilippe finally started to crumble, and Thibaut Pinot really looks like the strongest rider in the race. What did this action in the Pyrenees tell us about what's to come in the Alps? And which of the mountain stages in week 3 will decide the winner? Then, the guys put on their Director Sportif hats and hypothesize how they would lead Thibaut Pinot and Geraint Thomas to victory in these final few days.
