Pity Amy couldn't call Froome's dog as a witness.

I’m sure it was pointed out that winning Atta does not mean you can ride with Matt Beers for 8 days. In my opinion we don’t appreciate how special Beers is. Nino hardly puts any time into him on the technical sections and we know what happens on the flatter sections.

Def not job done...
Agree that race is not won, but surely you can’t expect more of them at this point in the race?
Grotts & Beers in yellow by 2 mins. Job done, not sure what more is required.
We are no doubt going to see a long line of riders walking up and down Cliffhanger later.

I was warming up to meet my training group this morning and was inside the yellow shoulder on the way to Cape Town stadium. Then the TV channel switched and I was flung somewhere and, getting up, I couldn’t see the car. The rear view mirror and fender guard left behind on the scene was off a Renault Kwid, not many of them around.
I am privileged to have an excellent health care network around me and hope to fully recover - very eina right leg, fractured ribs and scrapes and bruises, fortunately my spine and brain intact.
I am a lucky man. Please send healing vibes, Peoples.💛
Sorry to read this and wishing you a speedy recovery.
Came across a guy that got hit from behind riding south on Bram Fisher (Engen route just before the BP) yesterday morning at 6:00am. Driver and car still on the scene. Rider was shaken up but don't think any fractures. Cops arrived and I hope they tested the driver.

2022 was the hottest since 2013. At the start was 27c and average was 37c with max of 46c, and that was before 10am when I bailed. First time I saw a traffic jam at WP1.

Will try find a picture. Sadly, sold it because I was battling to get spares and simply didn't have the time it required.
Very lazy last 2 years. Need to up my game.

In a world of knobheads and posers a real gem.
Tony you were unique, one of a kind, die hard Liverpool, straight razor and fitness enthusiast. Will miss the banter my friend, until we meet again.

The Pog if he rides a proper bike.....
WvA if he can tame his own aggression
MvdP if he can pull a trick at MSR, which I wouldn't discount as he seems to have a very systemic, realistic approach to the amount of racing and winning he can do in a season.
Mahoric?
I wonder why Marc Hirschi was never able to get his form back. That guy at one point looked like he was pure class and duked out some amazing races.
Pidcock is generational, Remco is generational. I find neither of them particularly engaging which makes supporting them difficult for me. Amazing to watch the talent on display, but not very enthralling
We really are in a golden era of bike racing. Enjoy it
I think you missed MvPs victory at MSR. (Unless it’s another trick of course)
Pog has a chance but will battle with MSR and PR.
WvA if he changes teams.
MvP - Lombardia is a problem.
Remco - not sure he'll survive the cobbles of Roubaix.
The next youngster.............don't know his name yet.
Tyre pressure monitors, thru axles, tubeless etc. can’t help but feel tubs and quick-releases will be better.

Seems to be a common theme these days, finding fault, being triggered and enraged.
Just be lekker instead.

Can someone please explain the qualifying process to a noob?

Suppose the team manager will decide
