La Course

So much more interesting to watch...three world champions in the final six.

This rider saved for the future...

They really should weight field sprint points for the green jersey differently compared to other stages.
Hardly a good result for Sagan. Not a lot of great sprinters these days.

Sagan looked rusty. He let himself get boxed in and he simply didn’t have Kristoff’s acceleration. Once he saw Kristoff fly by (and knew he had a bad sprinting line), he sat up. Props to Kristoff for riding a smart race and making all the pre-race predictions look foolish.

lol I think he did, you could hear the gun go crack crack crack lol. No use having those impact guns, this is not formula 1, I could get that wheel changed in like less than 30 seconds.

Stage one a.k.a: a rife disaster. One announcer for most of the race, torrential rain, sketchy descents and crashes galore and tomorrow is a massive stage for climbing. This first week is going to be rough, I think.

Rim brakes. Steel frame, fork, dropouts, and QR skewer.

Freakin' impact wrench for a bicycle? End of Times.

I don't care if Phil gets the names or details wrong. He has earned emeritus status and is always welcome at the table anytime.

Before the team car arrived, looked like Alaphillipe tried to spin the wheel and it wouldn’t move. Not sure if that would affect whatever it is you have to do to get the wheel off.
