Exactly how i pictured it in my head

Also doesn't Cav have like another 9 or so Green skinsuits from the previous stages he's won already, or is there no washing machine about?

Reckon Merckx must've made a phone call and made a small monetary deposit.????

Looks like a coffee shop rider now with a green top and blue shorts, Just with bigger calves.

I watched a short video a while back where he spoke about how he adjust his own cleats, saddle angle etc himself during stage races depending on how he's feeling and just so that he can be comfortable hence why his mechanics hate him (his words)

I saw now he was on the side of the road pulled over, shoe off, adjusting his cleats.

Campaenarts also pulls out of Le Tour..

Yeah clearly trying to help Carapaz out, But TP is chilling in the bunch right behind the Ineos train in what looks like a Z1 ride for him.

Ineos have Thomas on the front pulling the bunch, Clearly he isn't hoping to get close to a top 10 GC then.

Just saw went off the road and into a ditch early on in the stage.

Tony Martin out of the race and off to hospital.

So a shorter version of the DC??

No difference to Caleb Ewan leaving the Giro then to rest before the start of TdF when he stated before the start of the Giro that he wouldn't finish as he was seeking stage wins in all 3 GT's.(Oh wait sorry, It was a "knee injury" which forced him out)

@Cois my man, I am not 1 for many words, But if 2021 has shown us anything, it is the year for comebacks. Just look at Cavs for example (yes i know the circumstances are somewhat different) But my point is with belief and support, anything is possible and all of the Bikehub community are here to support you. We have seen more miraculous things happen in our lives, and although I may not be the holiest person on the planet, geez not even in my house actually, but my point is that I believe you miracle is right around the corner. Never give up hope, never for 1 second have a negative thought along the lines that this disease will defeat you. You are a star, you are a champion, Keep as positive as you've been and 1 day we will be re-visiting this thread looking at pics of your full recovery. Keep doing what you doing boss.

I think Cav never even thought he would be this close to the record at the start of Le Tour. I reckon he is more driven now to get to Paris than ever before even in his prime, and his team will make sure he gets over the line tomorrow within the time limit I'm sure.

Anyone else notice Greipel there and there abouts, Nice to see him still in the race, I'm sure he's a good couple kilos heavier than some of the sprinters who missed the cut.

1 to equal 2 to take the lead..

Yes Cav babaaaaaayyyyy... I called this, has very little competition left with the other pure sprinters dropped out. And with that leadout, Wow..... 2 more to go Cav 2 more ..

Try Nils cycleworks in Woodstock CT.. Almost guarantee they will have 1 for you. http://www.woodstockcycleworks.com/ 021 461 5634

I see Cav made it with just under 2mins to spare, Arnaud Demare however missed the cut. If there are enough riders who missed the cut, the jury may just extend the cut off. Maincheese up to 19th on GC, Can't find any news where Nic and Stefan both finished.

There it is. Perhaps maybe a lower spec like 105 cassette and chain combo to add weight.

Going to have to add alu bottle cages and maybe an alu stem to get the bike to UCI legal weight.

Gotta love those...

Correct.. I hope for the teams sake that he does just that..
