Aul. Pinot on more than six minutes now.. that hurts even for non pinot fans

And dumoulin taking a domestique role now. That hurts too

And i enjoyed this pun

I popped to the Guardian's coverage to see whether he'd fallen further back today, and guess who's tweet my "Pinot" search brought up?

Good article on Pinot:

Quote:

"Pinot’s body and mind faltering at a Grand Tour is becoming a regular occurrence and, as he admits himself, could be a sign that a yellow jersey is not supposed to be. "

Yes, someone posted about it in the TV thread a couple of weeks back. He doesn’t come caress as sorry for doping, no. On one hand he is still extremely rich, and famous, so maybe that is why.

I was surprised that he seemed to suggest he had no regrets when he had tge personal belief that using the growth hormone was what *gave* him testicular cancer, but I guess the cancer was part of the storyline that made him so famous, and maybe he saw the lurching trajectory as worth it in the long run. Hearing his son defend him and then have to admit his father was a fraud and that distress would have been enough to turn most people’s assuredness, though. Not his.

Oh no... it was you... here.

I’ve just read he same post twice. Well, Kov, you got us to watch it anyway :DD

I would recommend the book The Secret Race which covers it. There's some hilarious moments in it. And ways of avoiding testing "the doorbell rang so I lay under the kitchen table until they went away".

Giro d'Italia fans that work from home will be pleased to know that it's on free to air on S4C accessible through BBC iPlayer.

It's in Welsh, mind.

Van der Poel really did make our day (euros what euros?), by being his brilliant self, and so emotional for the connection with his granddad poulidor ...

This is one of my favourite regions of France. And that was a beautiful chapel they just went by.

Ewan's looks horrendous

MaliA · **Posted:** Mon Jun 28, 2021 18:15

Ah, he smashed his collarbone and then used his skin to decelerate from 60kph as Sagan had a lie down on his back wheel

He's abandoned.

KovacsC · **Posted:** Wed Jun 30, 2021 13:37

That was a great finish yesterday.... go Cav.

KovacsC · **Posted:** Thu Jul 01, 2021 21:11

I am loving the tour.

Cav is awesome

romanista · **Posted:** Tue Jul 06, 2021 13:25

Cav is indeed awesome, also when he came in just before the time limit..

We had some fun as dutchies with vdPoel (yellow, stage), Schelling (great little fights on hills for the polka dot jersey), and poels (1 day polka dot)... but Jumbo-visma has much bad luck.. Even though this pogacar is stronger than a non-hurt roglic

Curiosity · **Posted:** Tue Jul 06, 2021 18:47

GWAN CAV!

romanista · **Posted:** Thu Jul 08, 2021 12:32

Great stage yesterday.. van aert winning.. jumbo visma relieved.. some great memories on taking on ventoux myself, and interesting tactics by ineos, whith pogacar showing signs of being a human after all..

Cannot wait.

It's been brilliant, so far, every single stage has had Thrilling Heroics

Best sport in the world.

34 is amazing indeedl... and with mollema yesterday we dutch were treated well as well..

What a race so far! Absolute belter of a stage follows belter of a stage!

KovacsC · **Posted:** Fri Jul 16, 2021 13:43

Fingers crossed for Cav today....

MaliA · **Posted:** Fri Jul 16, 2021 14:47

He might struggle with the break ten minutes up the road.

KovacsC · **Posted:** Fri Jul 16, 2021 15:36

Yes, it is not his day..

Tour of Britain has been great so far. Some proper Thrilling Heroics, and proper Cornish team Saint Piran mixing it up with the elite.
