Greg


Seems like here in Canada on Sportsnet we get the feed with Robbie McEwen....no Horner or Phil.

Breukink was a doper. Does that count?

Great stage.

Peter who? 🤣🤣

Hope Fulsang starts tomorrow

And I hope they stop with all the Cavendish drama. Dude should not be invited “just because” he’s done it 12 years in a row. You’ve been non factor for past couple Tour’s.....time to move on

With PDM most likely and with ONCE no doubt (start of the EPO era) but I don't recall any doping accusations from his time with Panasonic

This was Nibali yesterday, avoiding the crash of his teammate, Caruso, by jumping a 3" curb.

Fuglsang didn't have the same reflexes.

I am VPNing into the Eurosport player and getting the best coverage. No more Phil that's for sure. He was good in the 80s when I started following cycling - I can recite his commentary into for the stage to La Plagne in the 87 TdF from memory I watched that vhs tape so many times! - but he is past his sell by date.

Nice video catch, hadn't scene that. Fuglsang was right on Nibs wheel, and didn't have a chance. Nibs was lucky he had a clear view and plenty of distance to react.

LeMond: "I keep hearing about Valverde losing 5 kilos. If he really lost 5 kilos and he's the same condition as in the Tour, in theory, in mathematically, he should win the Tour."

Jumbo-Visma won by 20 seconds.

The gap between second place (Ineos) and 10th place (Astana) was 21 seconds.

Over a 27k time trial, that is an unbelievable win.

Fun fact: In the 29 TTTs he has started in his career, Tony Martin has won ... eight.

Caught the last bit of this after my ride this AM--that was a lovely ride--one gapped rider with about 2+ k to go, tightened up and a rocking finish...

So our Dutch leader, Mike Teunissen will be in yellow for at least one more day
